A revision of the mechanisms of interaction between CEPEL, utilities and suppliers is therefore required Although significant innovations have been developed, in particular by CEPEL, an efficient technology strategy remains to be formulated and implemented. © Beech Tree Publishing 1995 Besnosik Roberto Iazlovitch Department of Economics, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil, Av.
