This thesis aims to propose 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; concerning the methodological procedure, it is considered a bibliographical research and case study. The research began with a theoretical survey by means of a systematic bibliographic review on the themes of technology development and organic photovoltaic cell. In the second step, a case study of the technology development process used by a Brazilian company in the organic photovoltaic cell industry was conducted. The third step was to structure a model to manage the technology development process of the organic photovoltaic industry. In the case study it was identified that the company, object of the study, does not follow a formal process for the development of cell technology. However, it performs several activities common to technology development models referenced in the literature. The proposed model, called the Reference Model for the Organic Photovoltaic Industry, comprises three macro-steps, ten stages and six decision points. The results of this thesis have significant managerial implications as they may help companies organize innovation efforts and reduce development time, thus providing competitive advantage for them. Furthermore, the results provide theoretical implications for research in the areas of technology development, solar PV, and organic PV cell, as the proposed model considers the integration of the activities that are part of technology development models with the technology readiness level.Acesso AbertoTecnologia verdeProcesso de desenvolvimento de tecnologiaCélula fotovoltaica orgânicadoctoralThesis
