This study aims to analyse the scientific literature on sustainability and innovation in the automotive sector in the last 13 years. The research is classified as descriptive and exploratory. The process presented 31 articles in line with the research topic in the Scopus database. The bibliometric analysis identified the most relevant articles, authors, keywords, countries, research centers and journals for the subject from 2004 to 2016 in the Industrial Engineering domain. We concluded, through the systemic analysis, that the automotive sector is well structured on the issue of sustainability and process innovation. Innovations in the sector are of the incremental process type, due to the lower risk, lower costs and less complexity. However, the literature also points out that radical innovations are needed in order to fit the prevailing environmental standards. The selected studies show that environmental practices employed in the automotive sector are: the minimization of greenhouse gas emissions, life-cycle assessment, cleaner production, reverse logistics and eco-innovation. Thus, it displays the need for empirical studies in automotive companies on the environmental practices employed and how these practices impact innovation.

Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) is a renewable energy technology that uses wind power devices rather than traditional wind turbines that take advantage of the kinetic wind energy, and remain in the air due to aerodynamic forces. This article aims to compare the scientific literature with the patents on wind power with tethered airfoils, to obtain better insights into the literature of this area of knowledge. The method used in this study was a comparative bibliometric analysis, using the Web of Science and Derwent Innovations Index databases, and the Network Analysis Interface for Literature Review software and VosViewer. It was possible to verify the main authors, research centers and companies, countries and journals that publish on the subject; the most cited documents; the technological classes; and the networks of collaborations of this work. It was also possible to identify that researches on wind energy with tethered airfoils began their studies in the late 1970s with the first patent apparently dated from 1975 by the inventors Dai and Dai. The first scientific publication was in 1979 by authors Fletcher and Roberts, followed by Loyd in 1980. United States is the country that presented the highest number of patents and scientific papers. Both scientific papers and patents set up networks of collaboration; that is, important authors are interacting with others to establish cooperative partnerships.

Capital Intelectual é um tópico de grande interesse para as organizações que perceberam os limites dos sistemas usuais de contabilidade baseados em ativos físicos. Existem diversos conceitos e classificações, assim como métricas para mensuração de Capital Intelectual. Este artigo traz uma revisão conceitual destes descritores – conceitos, classificações e métricas – e constata que, não obstante os avanços teóricos, é necessário um maior aporte da prática e da compreensão da dinâmica complexa que circunda a ideia de que o motor da geração de valor gravita entre as capacidades humanas, as estruturas organizacionais e, principalmente, entre as redes de relações possibilitadas por trocas de conhecimentos e experiências na busca de desempenho superior. É necessária uma revisão constante desses conceitos e métodos, bem como sua adaptação e reinterpretação para que as empresas possam, por si mesmas, identificar e usufruir das melhores formas de utilização de seu potencial humano. Ao deslocar o eixo de valor central para o intangível, as relações de confiança, transparência, capacidade de troca e satisfação ganham um status integrado e de durabilidade.

Este artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma revisão de modelo para mensuração do capital intelectual para tomada de decisão. A construção do presente artigo desenvolveu-se através de levantamento bibliográfico abrangendo o tema Capital Intelectual abordando seus objetivos, peculiaridades e definições.
