  Integration of Small Technology-Based Firms in Aeronautics"\n\n\nThis pap
 er examines the role of small technology-based firms (TBF) in aeronautics 
 industrialization processes. In particular\, given the susceptibility of t
 hese firms to the changing nature of industrial production\, it focuses on
  the integration and growth of small TBFs in aeronautics supply chains. We
  use the case study of Embraer\, the Brazilian firm that leads the regiona
 l aircraft segment\, to uncover processes through which small TBFs can int
 egrate its supply chain\, creating value and enhancing regional technologi
 cal capabilities. This case is of particular relevance since Embraer pione
 ered the introduction of risk-sharing partnership for product development 
 in aeronautics\, followed by other aircraft manufacturers\, which led to s
 ignificant changes in the supply chains structures. \nBased on 100 semi-s
 tructured interviews with leading experts in Brazil and Portugal\, our res
 earch shows that aeronautics inherent specificities impose several challen
 ges to the integration and growth of small TBFs into the aeronautics suppl
 y chain. We identify 11 main challenges for the integration and growth of 
 small TBF suppliers in aeronautics\, and 5 major reasons why despite these
  challenges\, some of these firms make the strategic decision of entering 
 this sector. In addition\, we argue that small TBFs should be promoted thr
 ough regulatory frameworks that take into account the aircraft development
  process.\n
