ABSTRACT
This manuscript
investigates how organizations seek to improve their competitiveness through
the engagement of stakeholders, in the context of sustainability and value of
innovation. Methodologically, a literature review did in order to arrive at the
papers that were objects of this research. Further, organizations seek to
interact in a competitive environment, and through the model of the Sustainable
value of Hart and Milstein, the innovation and the parties concerned,
respectively, with the central point generating sustainable values. Finally,
the study provides both a theoretical and practical contribution to
understanding sustainable. Innovation activities of an organization depend
partly on the variety and the structure of its relations with the sources of
information, knowledge, technologies, practices and human and financial
resources.

1. INTRODUCTION
The decision to innovate requires
all those involved in the innovation process are ready to face the new
challenges and willing to change their behavior. Culture, defined as a set of
inspirational values of attitudes, behaviors, aspirations, and modes of
relationship, is the aspect of the national innovation system less visible and
less palpable, but also more stable. Can stimulate or prevent the replacement
of old ways for new forms of production and consumption (CRIBB, 2007).
Innovation would make a strategic
positioning that would lead to the maintaining/lifting of the profitability of
the business and provide innovative services. It is noteworthy that in the last
decade of the 20th-century innovation to be recognized as a key factor for
competitiveness and was included in the strategic agenda of many organizations (BARBIERI,
2004).
The focus on innovation can provide
prosperity in the future. Creating value for stakeholders is dependent on the
skill that the company has for the creative destruction of its capabilities for
the innovations of tomorrow. The future will be guided by the companies develop
technologies that address the needs of society (HART; MILSTEIN, 2004).
Thus, consideration of the needs
regarding the stakeholders and innovative organizational capacity insert the
reputation and image of the organization can generate value to support a
valuable strategic asset seeking competitive advantage (DIERICKX; COOL, 1989).
According to Hart and Milstein
(2004) the relevance of the global challenges associated with sustainability,
seen from the perspective of business, can help to identify strategies and
practices that contribute to a more sustainable world and, at the same time,
direct the value for its shareholders. Sustainable consumption as “the use of
goods and services that respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life,
while minimizing the use of natural resources, toxic materials and emissions of
waste and pollutants over the life cycle, so as not to jeopardize the needs of
the future generation” (SOUTHERTON; WELCH, 2017). Currently, the environmentally significant behavior
(ESB) of individuals is receiving considerable attention (MOON et al., 2017).
Robles (1994), explains a new form
of global competition requires that organizations committed to the full and
continuous improvement of its products, processes, and employees. The process
of globalization of the economy requires organizations the constant pursuit of
innovation of their production processes and forms of involvement of
stakeholders or interested parties. Further, it is not that innovation is
gaining greater proportion than it deserves, it really makes a difference in
organizations, regardless of the size and thread of the same (TIDD; PAVITT,
2008).
The sustainable companies are those
that create stakeholder value because they are more prepared to face economic,
social and environmental risks and leveraging opportunities through the
management with and for stakeholders (CLARO et al., 2014).
The study is justified by the fact
that there are organizations are challenged to reduce the impacts that cause
today, while they need to reorient their internal skills to make their more
innovative products and services and increase sustainability in the long term.
The present paper seeks to answer the following research question: How organizations seek to improve their
competitiveness through the engagement of stakeholders, in the context of
sustainability and value of innovation?
Towards this direction, the following
statements can show this paper is organized first start with an introduction.
Next, a literature review and a brief description of the methodology. Finally, the discussions and conclusions.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1.
Stakeholder
Theory
According to Rowley (1998), the
stakeholders are groups or individuals that affect the organizational context
in search of meeting your goals. Freeman
(1984) notes that the interested parties are any group or individual who can
affect or to be affected by the success of the goals of an organization. In
another moment, Freeman (1984) defines stakeholders as "those groups that
are vital to the survival and success of organizations". Another
definition by Lyra et al (2009) is the stakeholder in an organization is, by
definition, any group or individual who can affect or affected by the
realization of the goals of this organization. Stakeholder includes those
individuals, groups and other organizations have an interest in the actions of
the organization have the ability to influence them. To neglect these groups,
some organizations have already been devastated or destroyed (TAPSCOTT; TICOLL,
2005).
As the NBR 1600, interested parties
or "stakeholder" can be defined as any person or group that has an
interest in an organization or can be affected by their actions, for example,
internal public, suppliers, consumers, clients, public institutions, community,
owners, bankers, unions and Government agencies, among others. Frooman (1999)
answered three questions to identify the stakeholders: Who are they? This
question seeks to identify the attributes of stakeholders; what do they want?
This issue focuses on the interest and the concerns of stakeholders; how are
they trying to achieve your goals? This question is influence exercised by the
stakeholders in strategic organizational designs.
Clarkson (1995) identify the major stakeholders, where all stakeholders
are responsible for the survival of the organization. Anyway, the stakeholder
theory will be the backbone that will sustain the answer of who and what really
matters to make the Organization last longer.
According to Freeman (2010) the Stakeholder theory, comes to the
shareholder, and what he wants is to have your organization's wealth, the
various stakeholders considered strategic for the management, that is, the
stakeholders are the stockholders, suppliers, employees, community, and consumers.
Oliveira (2008) reveals that the
unions, competitors, employees, Government, media and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) are stakeholders of the organization. Above all, the
stakeholder theory emphasizes that the organization must to manager in a way
that maximizes the wealth of its shareholders.
So explains the need for a plurality of groups, sectors of the
Organization and decision-making (LEA, 1999).
Lemme et al., (2008) realize that
the involvement of stakeholders can target as a source of innovation and
development. Several modifications that have occurred both in society and in
the environment changed the strategic focus of the organization. These changes based
on the impact suffered by the society and environment when the corporate goal
was profit at any price. The potential for stakeholder cooperation is
particularly relevant because he can lead organizations to join forces with
other stakeholders, resulting in better management of the business. In this
way, the more dependent on the stakeholder is, the greater the desire to
cooperate (LYRA et al., 2009).
2.2.
Stakeholders
Types
Taylor and Francis (2008)
interested parties may be divided into external and internal, internal
stakeholders are those related to the decision-making process of an
organization, for example, owners, customers, suppliers, employees and outside
the affected by the activities of the Organization, for example, the neighbors,
the local community, general public, local authorities. Under construction, not
has traditionally been a strong emphasis on stakeholder internal relationship,
as contracts and local management. Further, while external stakeholder
relations, to a certain considered a task for public officials, through the
standards and legislation that concern development facility.
Mitchell, Agle, and Wood (1997) identified the
Stakeholder Salience model, where the classification of stakeholders in terms
of power, legitimacy, and urgency. Above all, this type of classification
and/or criterion helps create priorities and establishes what the attendances
of interests.
Mitchell, Agle and Wood (1997)
there are seven types of stakeholders:
1) Asleep: has the power to impose
its will in the Organization, but has no legitimacy or urgency and thus its power
lies in disuse, having little or no interaction with the organization;
2) Arbitrary: it has legitimacy,
but has no power to influence the organization no claims urgency;
3) Claimant: When the most
important attribute in stakeholder management is urgent, it is a claimant;
4) Dominant: its influence on
Organization has ensured by the power and legitimacy;
5) Dangerous: When there are power
and urgency, but there is no legitimacy, what exists is a coercive stakeholder
and possibly violent for the Organization, which can be a danger, literally;
6) Dependent: it has allegations
with urgency and legitimacy, but depends on the power of another stakeholder to
view their claims being taken into consideration;
7) When has power and legitimacy,
practically shows how final. When, moreover, claims urgency, must give
immediate attention and prioritized to this stakeholder.
Note that the main objectives for
stakeholder have been identifying who are the stakeholders of the Organization
and determine what types of influence they exert. Stakeholders are part of the
entire organization and can influence both in decision-making and in strategic
organizational development. The management tools in its scope should also
consider the employees of an organization and, therefore, may require the
opinion of those for use and validation (RIGBY, 2009).
Despite its potential, Lyra et al.,
(2009), considered the stakeholder cooperation is particularly relevant,
because he can lead organizations to join forces with other stakeholders,
resulting in better management of the business. Ferrell et al., (2001) the
environment each more dynamic and complex challenges organizations and their
stakeholders, bringing focus to the link between ethics and good business.
Therefore, this generation of mutually beneficial exchange with customers and
employees implies that the parties work together to understand their demands
and helping in the establishment of reliable links.
2.3.
Creating
sustainable value (CVS)
The creating sustainable value
(CVS), according to Noble et al., (2013),
had its origin from concepts of Vision-based natural resources company
(VBRN), where based on publications on the resource-based view of the Firm
(VBR) and dynamic capabilities. The authors summarize the VBRN represents an attempt
to extend the VBR. First, by including natural resources as essential elements
for the creation of competitive advantage of enterprises and, second, to
explain that the omission of the relationship between the Organization and its
environment (natural) and may represent a threat to the survival of the company
that seeks to sustain its competitive advantage.
The resources and dynamic
capabilities of a company encompass the explicit and implicit strategic and
tactical knowledge that distinguish the company from its competitors (BARNEY,
1991).
These findings are consistent with
results in the literature according to the conceptual model developed by Hart
and Milstein (2004) and consists of a two-dimensional approach considered as
sources of creativity in organizations: the time (present and future) and space
(internal and external).
Claro et al., (2014) proposed the global
challenges associated with sustainability, considered from the perspective of
business, can help to identify strategies and practices that contribute to a
more sustainable world and, at the same time, they directed to generate
shareholder value.
The overlap of both dimensions
results in an array with four distinct approaches that focus on the
performance, which is essential for the creation of shareholder value. The
above model of Hart and Milstein (2004) presents two dimensions and four
strategic approaches:
(i)
vertical axis: represents the
need simultaneously to the Organization has to maintain the current business
and to create the technology and markets of tomorrow, aiming at short-term and
long-term results; In this dimension, the organization aims to protect the
business in the short term and project future growth;
(ii)
horizontal axis:
highlights the need for the Organization's growth, protection of the internal
organizational skills and potential, as well as new perspectives and expertise
to the organization;
Hart and Milstein (2004) suggests
the technical essence of protection organization so that it can operate without
interference and still keep open to absorbing new models, technologies, and
market prospects. 1) In the lower left quadrant is concerned with the cost and
risk reduction, motivator for wealth creation, which happens through the
reduction of losses from legal liabilities and the emphasis on operational
efficiency, resulting in higher returns to the Organization, generating
sustainable value to shareholders, bringing sustainable vision. 2) The second
relates to the upper left quadrant, whereby creating products and services for
the future through the development and acquisition of new skills, competencies,
and technologies that will enable the growth of the Organization, the corporate
return happens to focus on sustainable innovations. 3) The right lower reveals
the importance of stakeholder influences. The interests of these stakeholders
require the attention of organizational activities, because their views and
interests to be considered and brought into the Organization, generate as
corporate return improvements in his reputation and legitimacy that
consequently will bring the growth of shareholder value. 4) The final approach,
located in the upper right quadrant brings the approach of the external
dimensions aligned to the future performance of the organization. The ability
of the Organization to develop a vision of their path and a base that provides
trace its growth trajectory. This growth trajectory can be rooted in both the
development of new markets, still unexplored, as for the offer of new products
to its consumers. This quadrant refers to the base of the pyramid.
It is important that the public
understand that corporate act at the bottom of the pyramid requires innovative
research and development due to the peculiarities of this audience. At the
bottom of the pyramid, the creation, development and design of new products
that claim to succeed, demand a more complete understanding of local
circumstances, in such a way that the features are critical, as well as the
features, can be incorporated into the design or product design (PRAHALAD,
2004).
According to this approach, Chocteau
et al., (2013) demonstrated the problem of new technologies and learning
effects, issues of potential interest on sustainability and brand image include
public receptivity. The ideal would be that companies had four types-related
strategies, and the strategy of sustainable vision is considered the most
advanced level in terms of considering the long term. The challenge of global
sustainability is complex and multidimensional.
Considered together, as in a
portfolio, such strategies and practices have the potential to reduce cost and
risk, increase the reputation and legitimacy of the company, accelerating
innovation and repositioning, and crystallize paths and trajectories of growth,
all of the vital importance (CLARO et al., 2014).
For instance, the corporate
reputation strategy with respect to environmental initiatives and the increase
of the company's reputation. Adopts the concept of reputation proposed in
Santos and Porto (2011) as regards the set of images and perceptions that
internal and external audiences have about a company. Organizations to maximize its social
prestige, and compete for the recognition of customers, investors, employees,
and community. The lasting and resilient
depends on investment in the relationship with stakeholders; soon,
organizations invest in activities that induce perceive them as credible,
trustworthy, honest and responsible.
2.4.
Innovation
2.4.1. What
is innovation?
For Tidd, and Pavitt (2008),
innovation is a process of making an opportunity a new idea and put it to use
in the widest possible way. Above all, in view of this, the innovation shown as
an irreversible process including milestones and financial, cultural and
organizational aspects. Drucker (1985) defines innovation is to assign new
capabilities to existing resources in the Organization, generating wealth.
According to Dosi (1988) innovation
relates directly to the discovery, experimentation, development, imitation and
the adoption of new products, production processes, and organizational
arrangements. Pavitt (1984) innovate corresponds to a product or production
process again, or rather, used or marketed successfully for an organization.
Simantob (2003), innovation is modest or revolutionary, it comes as news to the
Organization and to the market and that, applied in practice, brings economic
results for the Organization – be they related to technology, management,
processes or business model. Barbieri (1990), technological innovation
corresponds to all change in a given technology.
Kim (2005) innovation captures
value is a new way of thinking about the implementation of the strategy, which
results in the creation of a new market space and break-up with the
competition. It is essential for the Organization to introduce more sustainable
technologies, which may generate innovative projects that result in the
expected success (SRIVASTAVA, 2007).
For Schumpeter (1988) innovation is
the process of making new combinations, leading to the setting of new products
or services or the production of goods or services in different ways. For the
author, innovation can also represent the effect of bringing improvement in the
processes. Starting from this premise, the concept of innovation undergoes a
paradigm shift regarding economic development, since many authors are beginning
to include other aspects in addition to economic. Innovation is the key driver
of capitalist development and organizational profit source. In brief,
innovation can be considered as one of the main forces of the means as economic
development and organizational competitiveness.
The Oslo Manual states that a
greater awareness of the magnitude of innovation did to her to be included in
the political agenda of most developed countries, with a focus on basic science
and technology policy and industrial policy aspects. The new thinking about
innovation raised the importance of systems and led to a more integrated
approach to the formulation and implementation of policies related innovation
(OECD, 2004).
Keinert (2007) puts innovation to
put into practice new ideas through new technologies, recycling, using less raw
materials and generating a production more efficient and clean, with
preservation of natural resources, competitiveness for organizations and benefits
for society as a whole.
2.4.2. Innovative
Sustainable Organizations
Barbieri (2007) an innovative
sustainable organization is not introducing any kind of news, but news that
meets the multiple dimensions of sustainability on systematic bases and reaps
positive results for her, for the society and the environment. The attendance
to those dimensions makes the innovation process more sophisticated and
demanding, requiring the Organization a greater effort to meet technically this
requirement. That brings new perspectives for innovation management.
Barbieri (2011) considers
innovation as being the implementation of ideas and solutions in the productive
and social environments that materialize in products, processes and management
methods, new or modified. The competitive advantage achieved through innovation
varies according to the complexity of this innovation (CRIBB, 2007).
Chesbourgh (2006), the competitive
advantages achieved with high investments in research and development
laboratories – P&D, intellectual capital, incursions of ideas and
development time for an innovative solution. Barbieri (2010) suggests when it
is necessary that organizations are able to innovate efficiently in economic
terms, but with social responsibility.
2.4.3. Models,
types and processes of innovation
The models of innovation are classified
into two large groups: closed and open innovation. In the traditional model of closed
innovation, Chesbrough (2006) shows that the projects are structured based on
scientific and technological organization, undergo an internal selection and
some discontinued while others receive more resources and few reach the market.
The author though these processes called closed because it has only one
entry-the Department of P&D, and an output-the market.
Chesbourgh (2006), organizations
that work with closed innovation .based on the philosophy that a successful
innovation has to be controlled and organizations must generate their own
ideas. The author still defines the
concept of open innovation as the intentional use of internal and external
flows of knowledge to speed up the internal innovation and market expansion for
the external use of innovations. Open innovation suggests that the results are
achieved in activities such as prospecting, analysis and exposure opportunities
for innovation, using both external ideas as internal ideas, and internal and
external paths to reach the market.
It is important to note that in
relation to the intensity, there are two types of innovation, that is, we have
the incremental innovation and radical innovation. According to Freeman (1982):
a) Incremental innovation (technologically enhanced product) is associated with
the reduction of costs and improvement of existing products and services. Is an
existing product whose performance has been significantly enhanced or high
(Oslo, 2005); b) The radical innovation (technologically new product) comes to
significant changes in products, processes, and services that change markets
and existing industries or create other absolutely new (Oslo, 2005).
The process of innovation is a key
business process of the Organization, associated with the renovation and
development of business, renewing what the organization offers and how it
creates and delivers to that offer (TIDD; PAVITT, 1997).
3. METHODOLOGY
The present study is of an applied
nature and a qualitative approach and the purpose of the research is
descriptive (MILES; HUBERMAN; SALDAÑA, 2014). In the vision of Vergara (2000),
descriptive research exposes features in a particular population or of a given
phenomenon. In this paper, a literature review was done in order to arrive at
the papers that were objects of this research. From then on, each one read and
a database was set up with the main information collected. Further, analysis and elucidation in relation
to the object, regardless of its nature or characteristic (MENEGHETTI, 2011).
In order to conduct a literature review, a search methodology the strings:
Stakeholder Theory, creating sustainable value (CVS), Innovative Sustainable
Organization and innovation.
4. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
The literature explores that organizations can create
value through developing new products, through radical or incremental
innovations may be repositioned in the market in which they operate. The
challenge of sustainability according to the model Hart and Milstein (2004),
covered in this article, combine short and long-term challenges and under the
internal and external perspectives to organizations.
In fact, consider the total set of challenges of
sustainability can help create value for its shareholders and represent one of
the most understated paths to profitable growth in the future. Hart and
Christensen (2002) at the bottom of the pyramid markets provide an ideal
learning environment for the development of disruptive innovations, where helps
organizations in the combination of corporate growth with social
responsibility. This type of innovations breaks down and creates new
definitions to the trajectory of the Organization, giving rise to new markets
and business models (ZILBER et al., 2013).
We conducted a focus on top-left and lower-right
quadrant of the Hart model and Milstein (2004), with respect to innovation and
to the stakeholders respectively, with the central point generating shareholder
values. The paper discusses how organizations interact in a competitive
environment, indicating a new form of organization, learning, and knowledge of
new cultures, with strongly attributes relationships to strategic decisions and
notably the values of sustainability and innovation.
As Rodrigues and Barbieri (2008) the base of the
pyramid is a very promising market and should be the target of corporate
strategies, because it has a huge population, that although individual recipes
small, generates a total amount. We must think of new goods and services and
not replications versions created to meet the upper layers and averages of the
pyramid or produced by obsolete processes.
According to Hall and Vredenburg (2003), note that the
traditional approaches of innovation in general focus on a small group of
stakeholders, sustainable innovations already consider a wide range of
secondary stakeholders such as local communities and societies. Finally, in
this sense, integration should be a creative process of transformation to a better
and stronger firm with resources and capabilities that either of the merging
firms on its own would have difficulty creating. It should lead to value
creation and not value destruction. Innovation activities of an organization
depend partly on the variety and the structure of its relations with the
sources of information, knowledge, technologies, practices and human and
financial resources.
Hence, the proposed research has an active interest in
the insights. This study makes an important theoretical contribution by
answering the calls to demonstrate how the creation of sustainable value
network (CVS) allows you to share valuable knowledge, making the company more
competitive. The stakeholder engagement attracts new companies to the network,
resulting from increased versatility.
