Abstract

To establish conjectures on groupware, learning and viability of a process of change in the information society, this paper is divided in three parts. Firstly, it states consecrated authors' recent contributions in Strategy and Innovation Economics. In the second part the probable characteristics of the structures evolution of companies that will act in the environment of the information society are presented. Finally, under a critical-comparative approach, the consistency of theoretical statements exhibited in this paper are evaluated. Two development models are brief presented. The Eastern model presents common properties to the institutional characteristics that support the learning in regions of the Southeastern Asia and of Japan. The western model encompasses similarities with the institutional characteristics that emerge in Occidental Europe and in the United States. In conclusion, it can be said that the western model seems to operate reasonably in economies strongly developed in great scale, such as the one from United States, while in emergent economies, as the one from Brazil, its effectiveness becomes incipient.
