Abstract
The objective of this study is to provide an overview and to discuss the recent Brazilian experience in formulating and implementing policies for promoting Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs), especially considering the initiatives that depart from a systemic approach to promote production and innovation. The chapter emphasizes some crucial issues in the discussion of industrial and innovation policy, such as the adequacy of the instruments, the institutional set-up and the effective and potential convergence of different types of policies to support MSEs under the header of Local Innovation and Production Systems (LIPS). Data on the performance of MSEs in general and those inserted in LIPSs in the recent period suggest that the diversified set of initiatives had a considerably positive impact, especially in relation to formalization, access to credit, and incremental improvements and innovations. On the other side, the articulation of actors for enhancing interactive learning processes and technical training deserve more attention. Positive prospects for the promotion of MSEs, based on a systemic approach, are related to LIPS policies that articulate main policy vectors: science, technology and innovation, industry, and regional and social development.
