ARTIGO - PARTNERSHIPS FOR INNOVATION WITH TRADITIONAL COMMUNITIES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS

Resumo

Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of partnerships between communities of traditional peoples (CPTs) and different organizations These partnerships involving CPTs aim to enhance the creation of value derived from traditional knowledge, based on observations and experiences accumulated over time. We start from the premise that partnerships lead to the development of capabilities for innovation in organizations into the conventional economy (companies) and that both organizations and traditional communities are capable of building partnerships over time, sharing and absorbing relevant knowledge and applying it in different ways. The method used was a systematic literature review (SLR). The results of the literature review revealed two distinct conclusions. First, collaborative partnerships with communities provide innovations for various organizations across different areas using indigenous knowledge; second, these partnerships can also generate capacities for technological and process innovations within the communities, but such outcomes are under-researched.
