          Abstract

          O artigo procura articular a discussão sobre o processo de construção de competências na produção de software no Brasil à distribuição espacial dessas atividades, utilizando para isso um referencial analítico baseado no conceito de "arranjos produtivos locais" (APLs), no qual ressalta-se a importância da dimensão local-institucional para o aprofundamento de diferentes formas de aprendizado e para o reforço do potencial inovativo e da competitividade industrial. A análise realizada desdobra-se em cinco seções. A primeira seção apresenta uma caracterização geral do setor e do referencial analítico utilizado. A segunda seção apresenta um panorama sintético da evolução do setor de software no Brasil no período recente. A terceira seção procura discutir aspectos relacionados à distribuição espacial da indústria, com base em informações secundárias. A quarta seção desenvolve uma análise exploratória sobre a heterogeneidade espacial da indústria, utilizando informações primárias sobre arranjos produtivos dedicados à produção de software, as quais são trabalhadas através de técnicas de estatística multivariada, visando identificar diferentes padrões relativos a processos de aprendizado e inovação existentes nesses arranjos. Uma última seção sintetiza as principais conclusões do trabalho.

          Translated abstract

          The analysis seeks to explore analytical and methodological issues associated to the study of learning, innovation and competence building in Brazilian software industry. Contrasting with a strictly sectoral focus, our hypothesis is that the territorial proximity plays an important role to the improvement of learning and to the strengthening of firms' competitiveness and innovativeness. The analysis uses the concept of "local productive systems" in order to capture the importance of local and institutional conditions to the improvement of learning and to the strengthening of innovativeness and competitiveness. The paper is organized as follow. The first section presents some structural characteristics of the software industry, as well as the analytical framework of the analysis. The second section presents some figures about the Brazilian software market, its industrial structure and the strategies adopted by software firms. The third section tries to discuss some characteristics of the spatial distribution of software activities in the Brazilian economy. The fourth section develops an exploratory analysis about the territorial heterogeneity of the industry. This analysis is articulated to a discussion about learning, innovation and competence building processes in local software productive systems. Specifically, the analysis explores the empirical evidences emerging from a survey of four case studies of local productive systems in the industry. These evidences are manipulated through multivariate techniques in order to identify different clusters of firms with similar characteristics of the learning, innovation and competence building processes. Finally, the last section presents some conclusive remarks of the analysis.
