SUMMARY:

Green technologies such as photovoltaic technologies have attracted increasing attention in recent years for providing sustainable electricity supply and reducing the burden of fossil fuels on the environment. This thesis aims to structure a model for the technology development process of the organic photovoltaic cell industry. The research is characterized, regarding the nature, as being applied; regarding the approach, it is qualitative; regarding the objectives, it is exploratory and descriptive; regarding the methodological procedure, it is considered a bibliographical and action research, and the approach method considered is the inductive. The development of this research began with a theoretical survey by means of a systematic bibliographic review on technology development and on organic photovoltaic cells. In the second step, an analysis of the technology development process used by a Brazilian company in the industry of organic photovoltaic cells was conducted. The third step was the proposition of a model to manage the technology development process of the organic photovoltaic industry. The results of this research indicate that the company that is the object of this study does not follow a formal process for the development of cells. However, it performs several activities common to the various technology development models referenced in the literature. The results of this thesis have significant managerial implications, since the proposed model, called the Reference Model for the Organic Photovoltaic Industry, may help companies organize innovation efforts and reduce development time, thus providing them with a competitive advantage. In addition, the results provide important theoretical implications for research in the areas of technology development, solar PV, and organic PV cell, as the proposed model expands the current literature on the topic and also serves as a reference for academia in consulting information regarding the development of organic PV technology and for other renewable energy sectors.
