However, beyond causing negative impact in the environment, the main product of its chain is resulted of a complex production process which involves a great number of agents, making it difficult any technological change in the process. The adobe produced with aquatic plants is a new technology, gotten from a traditional material. This work presents the ideas and results of a thesis, which was intended to analyze the variable of influence on technological innovation process in the city of Palmas [state of Tocantins], Brazil, and verify the competitive advantages of the introduction of the adobe produced with aquatic macrophytes in Civil Construction. Politician/normative, strategical and operational dimensions necessary to the technological insertion had been evaluated, concluding to be the positive the conditions for the process.
