Keywords:
Technological capabilities; Sugarcane agroindustry; Innovation; Regional development; Usiban/PR.Synopsis
This book analyzes the technological dynamics of Açúcar e Álcool Bandeirantes S.A. — Usiban/PR, based on the technological capabilities matrix and considering the dimensions of investment, operation/production, innovation, and relations with the economy. The study, derived from a master’s dissertation defended at UNIOESTE in 2024, examines the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels of capabilities found in the sugarcane agroindustry. The research shows that Usiban presents a predominance of basic and intermediate capabilities, a pattern similar to that observed in other Brazilian mills, with low incidence of advanced capabilities. However, initiatives related to process innovation and research, development, and innovation are highlighted. By situating the analysis within the historical and economic context of the sugarcane agroindustry, the book contributes to understanding the technological, productive, and competitive challenges of the sugar-energy sector in Paraná and Brazil.
