RESUMO:

Currently, studies that address the innovation phenomenon in the organizational field present gaps in the practical comprehension of this process, causing the need to develop research that aims to understand it. In this context, the concept of innovativeness is approached as a desirable aspect of organizations, since it is able to energize their probability of survival and their continued success. However, these studies focused on innovativeness's relationship with strategic market and entrepreneurial guidance, organizational learning, performance and leadership, presenting with exiguous systematic efforts to measure their and its effects on the innovation process under micro and small Businesses (MPE's). The works identified in this interpretative bias were conducted under one-dimensional scales, which indicated a positive effect exerted by innovativeness on innovation. However, they did not present any effective to capture the breadth and complexity of this process in MPE’s. Thus, the present thesis aims to identify the effects of innovativeness based on the principles of Total Quality Management – TQM, on the generation of multiple innovations in Micro and Small Business. For this, a predictive character study was carried out, conducted by an analytical survey applied to a sample of 542 (542) Micro and small Business (MPE's), located in the metropolitan region of Natal/RN, which participated in the Extension Program of Local Innovation Agents (ALI) in the period from 2014 to 2018. The data were collected based on a questionnaire that contained 71 variables conceptually structured to gauge the effects of innovativeness and innovation in the studied companies. This data was statistically treated by the application of multivariate techniques, with emphasis on exploratory factorial analysis and for the modeling of structural equations in minimal partial squares (PLS – SEM), using the Stata ^®14 software and SmartPLS^® 3.2.7. Thus, the results of this thesis indicate paths that have presented statistically significant to explain, from the dimensions of innovativeness, the development of multiple innovations in the MPE's studied. For the purpose of this research, it is underlined that there is theoretical convergence between the formative concepts of constructs that presented positive and statistically significant relationships, with a view that they depart from conceptual bases and epistemological similar. This corroborates the congruence between the two models studied, indicating, from the empirical results obtained, that the effect of innovativeness is expressive and should be contemplated in the identification of the multiple possibilities of innovation in MPE’s.
