This study aimed to identify some of the main characteristics of strategic behavior in micro and small technology–based firms in Brazil and consisted of two phases. The former involved a survey of 104 micro and small technology–based firms, with results obtained using multivariate statistical techniques. The latter involved five case studies, with information collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using the content analysis technique. The results indicated that micro and small technology–based firms operate in sectors with significant levels of dynamism and uncertainty and exhibit strategic behavior based on the adoption (or implementation) of competitive and innovation strategies, structuring of R&D departments, and R&D investments to meet customer needs. The influence of dynamic capabilities on the innovation process may enable micro and small technology–based firms operating in uncertain and dynamic sectors to sense external opportunities and seize and reconfigure organizational resources to exploit external opportunities for competitive advantages.

本研究旨在确定巴西微型和小型技术企业战略行为的一些主要特征，由两个阶段组成。前者涉及对 104 家微型和小型技术型企业的调查，结果是使用多元统计技术获得的。后者涉及五个案例研究，通过半结构化访谈收集信息，并使用内容分析技术进行分析。结果表明，微型和小型技术型企业在充满活力和不确定性的行业中运营，并表现出基于竞争和创新战略的采用（或实施）、研发部门的结构以及满足客户需求的研发投资的战略行为。需要。动态能力对创新过程的影响可能使在不确定和动态行业中运营的微型和小型技术型企业能够感知外部机会，并抓住和重新配置组织资源，以利用外部机会获得竞争优势。
