The present work aims at posing guidelines to build a model of innovation management applied to the milk chain as a strategic tool for planning actions to enhance efficiency and competitiveness in the agroindustrial segment, upon the view that knowledge, innovation and technology are differential factors for growth and economic social development. The capacity of generating, spreading, applying knowledge defines a new profile of abilities and professional qualification and production, as well as it demands a greater understanding of the role played by the nets of knowledge and the National Innovation Systems. In order to understand such mechanism, were analyzed aspects for the consolidation of the European Technological Platforms, the Innovation Systems for Agriculture in Africa, for the Innovation and Productivity in Latin America, of Science and Technology and Innovation in Brazil and in Minas Gerais State, as a reference to underlie the methodological basis of the research. The work methodology was divided in two phases, the Descriptive Research, which presents the scenario of Science, Technology and Innovation in the milk agribusiness in Brazil and in Minas Gerais State; and, then, the raising of the factors of impact on the process of consolidation of an innovation system applied to the milk chain, of economic, organizational, technological basis, as well as of public and sociocultural policies basis, grouped as strong points, weak points, opportunities, and threats, constituting a SWOT matrix. The SWOT analysis was associated with the Process of Hierarchy Analysis (AHP), a mathematical method of Multi-criterion Decision Analysis. According to the principles of the AHP method, comparisons were made among elements of a same level and among levels of the SWOT matrix, using the ExpertChoice® software. The hierarchy and prioritization of the factors were defined from interviews with representatives of Research, Development and Innovation Institutions (R,D&I), Businesses, Government and Production, connected to the milk chain. The results have appointed the technical scientific qualification of the researchers as the strong suit that the milk chain can tap into to absorb the process of innovation marked by low articulation of the P,D&I. agents. The weak points will require more attention in the process of innovation management, and lie in the capacity of managers to implement investment policies on innovation by the businesses .The main trend in the milk chain, innovation-wise, is reaching new markets , but to achieve so, it is necessary to overcome certain threats, especially those imposed by tax, labor and environmental legislation . The hierarchy of factors and prioritization of guidelines are the foundation of the innovation management model which may be applied to plan long-term strategic actions, in order to undermine the weaknesses, invigorate the strengths, overcome threats, prompt new opportunities, aiming at the growth of the milk agribusiness in Minas Gerais State and Brazil through innovation.
