The main objective of this article is to debate, from the experiences of some successful countries in industrial and technological implementation of politics, if the construction of an institutional modern system in the area of scientific and technological development, in which must be enclosed the question of innovation, is essential for the economic growth of the country. In this effort, we search to deepen the quarrel on the politics of management of innovation in Brazil, in special on the Law of Technological Innovation - LIT (Federal Law nº 10,973, 02.12.2004) - that establishes measurements of incentive to innovation and the scientific and technological research in the productive environment, with sights to the qualification and the reach of the technological autonomy and to the industrial development of the country through the analysis of the main measures defined in its text. It is an evidence that the approval of the innovation law, although its deficiencies, represents an excellent instrument of support to the industrial and technological politics of Brazil.
