Abstract: The Competing Values Framework (CVF) has been used in many organizations around the world in order to understand innovation management culture. A study was made by the Fundacao Dom Cabral’s innovation managament center (FDC) with the objective of validating the CVF methodology in the Brazilian energy sector. We used qualitatitive analysis to examine the CVF according to four quadrants: radical innovation, market driven innovation, control and continous improvement and innovation culture . Data from 248 executives were used in this analysis. The results have shown that control and continous improvement prevailed over the radical innovation and market driven innovation subscales. Our conclusion suggests that CVF is an important methodology for assessing psychometric properties, observing the challenges inside Brazilian organizations and their behavior.
