Abstract: This research aims to identify how specialists of small metallurgical companies analyze the question regarding the search for innovation. Then, we conducted a survey in five companies from the sectors of aluminum casting under pressure, plastic injection, and lighting. It is also possible to see that for small companies, partnership issues become relevant in the context of innovation together with the interaction between the company and employees. This research indicates that innovate became the way to remain competitive, since the high Brazilian tax burden prejudice the gains of the companies, enabling both technological and organizational advances. It is a multiple case study paper in the secondary sector.
