The present research looks to analyze the impacts of innovations on the deficiencies listed in the development plan of the Local Productive Arrangement (LPA) of Moda Intima, located in the city of Nova Friburgo, according the perception of the LPA governance. The main ideas of the LPA governance about innovations and management of innovation were initially investigated, firstly in terms of how innovations can improve the performance of the factors which influence the LPA development and secondly in terms of how these factors explain the deficiencies observed in the LPA. Five member of the governance were submitted to two structured questionnaires. Their responses, captured in numeric format, originated a relative impact indicator which was used to asses the impact of innovations on the mentioned deficiencies. The results of the research suggest that the LPA process of innovation is underperformed and therefore has a low impact in alleviating the LPA deficiencies.
