Abstract

The present work analyses the development of innovation capability in a way of leveraging entrepreneurial sustainability. In order to answer study goals, we have used the approach of dynamic capability to help the development of innovation capability and shows how they could be developed to support to innovation capability. Based on the research field, we have verified that this approach clarifies how to develop the innovation capability, but it did not explain how to leverage the entrepreneurial sustainability. Due to this limitation, we have run the approach of sustainable innovation, which presents elements that wide the branches of performance of innovation capabilities beyond the economic pillar, contemplating environmental and social issues of entrepreneurial sustainability. To meet the study objective, the research classifies in bibliographic review, qualitative and exploratory. Were analyzed journals articles which present a relevant impact factor and books of authors that are reference in the topics studied. It was used for the analysis of the texts, the technique of qualitative content analysis, based on three basic steps indicated by Bardin (2010): (a) pre-analysis; (b) exploitation of the material; (c) and data treatment, inference and interpretation. The main research results point out the necessity of developing sustainable innovation capabilities, including the approaches of dynamic capability and also sustainable innovation to leverage the entrepreneurial sustainability. Keywords: Corporate sustainability. Capacity for innovation. Dynamic capabilities. Sustainable innovation. Sustainable innovation capacity.
