Abstract

Research and Technology Organizations (RTO) play a strategic role in advancing science and addressing global challenges, such as health crises and climate change. This study investigated the dynamic capabilities required for RTOs to develop mission-oriented innovations. Based on a qualitative case study of Inova HC, the innovation unit of the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo, three complex innovation projects with mission-like characteristics were analyzed. The proposed conceptual model identifies eight essential dynamic capabilities for RTOs: strategic intelligence, ecosystem management, entrepreneurial leadership, technological assessment, financial modeling, organizational flexibility, and legal architecture. These capabilities enable RTOs to overcome structural barriers, integrate resources, and engage stakeholders within the innovation ecosystem. The results highlight three key factors: the importance of maintaining strong connections with the external environment to monitor trends and engage partners; adopting entrepreneurial management to identify opportunities and fund raising; and organizational adaptation to address the complexity and uncertainty inherent to missions. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions by proposing a framework that combines the theory of dynamic capabilities with the specific needs of RTOs. In doing so, it promotes the strategic repositioning of these institutions in the face of contemporary challenges, offering valuable insights for managers and policymakers.
