Description
Summary:This research aims to analyze which internal and external factors related to sustainabilityoriented innovation (SOI) are present at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre-RS (HCPA). A descriptive and qualitative case study was carried out. The main results show that sustainability drives innovation, SOI is related to internal and external factors to the organization, and, in this specific case, we observed that three factors (safety, financing, and cost/price) were considered barriers to SOI development. Finally, an SOI framework is presented for the researched hospital organization.
