Social and collaborative tools, innovation process.Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the use of social software and collaborative tools in the innovation process in technology service companies. The data were collected from semi-structured interviews with the managers and the results point out the contribution of these technologies in supporting the innovation process as a whole, intensifying inter and intraorganizational collaboration. There is evidence that the tools are effective and accessible to the public, facilitating simultaneous and shared work for the generation of innovations. We highlight the relevance of Google's media and tools in supporting the search process, launch and learning of innovation, and the use of simultaneous editing tools and individual actions control in the implementation phase. The data also indicate the need for companies to use various tools with different and complementary properties to manage the innovation process.Downloads
