Embrapa: a successful case of institutional innovation.

Embrapa is a case of successful institutional innovation that has as main characteristics: a public corporation model of organization; scale of operation at national level; spatial decentralization; specialized research units; enhanced training and remuneration of human resources and a vision of an agriculture based on science and technology. Moreover, from the beginning the organization has always been result oriented. Based on the perception of one who has participated in its life from the beginning, first as one of the formulators of the Embrapa project, then as a leader for twelve years ? both as director and president, and finally as a researcher, I will try to describe the main factors that paved Embrapa?s road to success.
