Resumo
A excelência na gestão do processo de desenvolvimento de produtos (PDP) é fonte de vantagem competitiva para as empresas, especialmente para as de base tecnológica, que têm no lançamento de produtos com conteúdo tecnológico diferenciado importante fator de competitividade. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar práticas e fatores de sucesso relativos à gestão do PDP em empresas de base tecnológica de pequeno e médio porte do setor de automação de controle de processos. Para tanto, foram analisados fatores de gestão que influenciam o desempenho desse processo. O método de pesquisa adotado foi o survey , e os resultados enfatizam que o gerenciamento do PDP nas EBTs pesquisadas deve contemplar ações que valorizem as atividades de pré-desenvolvimento, tais como: a integração dos projetos de novos produtos com a estratégia da empresa, as características técnicas e econômicas que os produtos terão e o desenvolvimento das habilidades do gerente de projeto.

Abstract
Proficiency in management activities undertaken in product development processes is regarded as a key competitive advantage for companies, particularly for small and medium sized technology-based firms that have the offering of high-tech products as their main market differential factor. The present study aims to promote an analysis of the practices carried out in the management of product development processes of small and medium sized technologybased companies of process control automation. The data was obtained through a survey, among the main results observed, it was verified that the management techniques incorporated in the project and pre-development phases, especially those implemented to obtain the product characteristics, the synchrony between the company strategy and projects, technical and economic characteristics those products will have, and the development of the project manager managerial skills.
Keywords
