Resumo: The traditional debate on innovation has been based on the reality of technology-intensive industries, Research & Development, and which make use of radical innovations, making it difficult for this debate to be applicable to the reality of small low-tech industries, which are the industries that have standards innovation oriented to incremental practices and tacit knowledge. However, these industries face many environmental pressures to innovate, as they provide goods and services that are vital to the functioning of a society, requiring them to develop dynamic capabilities for innovation. Thus, this research sought to understand how lowtech industries develop dynamic capabilities that allow them to innovate, and for that, Wang and Ahmed's (2007) dynamic capabilities model were adopted, which considers three capabilities: adaptive, absorptive and innovative. As for the methodological procedures, the research was qualitative and descriptive. The multiple case study strategy was used, in which it investigated five small industries based on previously established criteria. As a source of evidence, documents and semi-structured interviews with the managers of these industries were used, and for the treatment and analysis of the evidence, the technique adopted was that of Content Analysis. The results show that in the analyzed industries the absorption of knowledge is not a structured practice, and that it happens as a way of responding to current external changes/pressures, and not as a way of anticipating future changes, occurring based on relationships with customers and suppliers. Adaptation occurs at the level of changes in practices and routines, acquisition of new techniques and/or machines, and generally are based on the previous experiences of the employees or the manager. Although the industries studied are flexible in changing their routines and resources, the capacity for innovation is not always achieved, as these changes occur to solve ad hoc problems, without producing significant results in terms of results, making it evident that the capacity for innovation it is not fully developed in the companies studied, but that they stand out as small industries in the locality where they operate. As a contribution, the insights generated in this dissertation can guide new research on innovation and dynamic capabilities in the context of small low-tech industries, provide alternatives for the implementation and management of operational strategies based on the understanding of the organizational capabilities studied, and guide the formulation of policies and the selection and management of projects aimed at the competitiveness and sustainability of these businesses.
