Ciclo de vida da informação no suporte ao processo de inovação: Uma proposta de modelo interativo

The objective of this article is to propose a theoretical model representative of the information flow in the innovation process. Managing information is crucial to the practice of innovation, especially in the context of adopting the model of open innovation and intensive use of information and communication technologies. From an exploratory research on secondary sources and the use of bibliographic research techniques, an interactive theoretical model based on the information life cycle stages of Beal (2012) and the innovation process phases of Tidd and Bessan (2015). In the proposed interactive model, the stages of the information lifecycle manage to interact with the phases of the innovation process, supporting its execution in the management of innovation in organizations. In addition, its elaboration contemplates an extension in the way initially presented for the life cycle of the information referenced by other authors.
