Abstract

In a context characterized by, both, a fast technological and social changes and by a growing integration and interdependence of economic activities on a global scale, innovation is considered as the main driver for economic development.
The Community Innovation Survey 2008 positions itself as a source where one can evaluate the activities and the innovation process in Portugal, in terms of product, process and organizational innovation and marketing, as well as their determinants, fragilities/capabilities. Based upon the analysis of the Portuguese socio-economic context, it is essential to understand how, in this new century, innovation is part of the companies strategies and how it is reflected on behavioral change and territorial patterns.
