Purpose: To identify improvements to the model to enable comparisons of the evolution of the innovation ecosystem across regions within the same country.
Context: The Secretariat of Economic Development (SDE) of Santa Catarina encouraged mapping based on the Cukier, Kon, and Krueger (2015) model to monitor and compare different regions within and outside the state (SDS, 2017).
Diagnosis: The model proposed by Cukier, Kon, and Krueger (2015) suggests the comparison of multiple ecosystems, but encounters limitations when applied to ecosystems within the same country.
Originality: It enabled the comparison of different realities within the same country. Above all, it facilitated the self-analysis of each ecosystem to identify existing gaps.
Main Results: i) expansion of the sample size; ii) incorporation of additional data sources, such as interviews and secondary data; and iii) introduction of indicators that capture realities at the city level, rather than focusing solely on countries. These results allow comparisons of ecosystem evolution in different regions of the same country.
Practical, Theoretical, and Social Implications: It provided a consolidated information base and a reference point for measuring innovation ecosystems. It contributes to knowledge by proposing improvements to the model and presenting innovation results in the field of Administration and related fields. It aims to portray the current situation, enabling the design of improvement actions based on this panorama to contribute to the economic, social, and environmental development of the region. The practical results and the methodology applied in this project can serve as a basis for new studies that contribute to scientific advancement, knowledge dissemination, and relevant academic research.
