Abstract: This work intends to contribute to the planning guidelines in the field of value chain management (VCM). Thus, it develops a model reference proposal supported by the definition of a highly complex environment of knowledge towards on the innovation value chain performance in the product/technology development process (PDP) applied to technology-based companies under uncertainty and restraint. This stage considers a sequence of systematic procedures in the following phases: 1) determining the information needs in two stages; 2) determination of knowledge objects. The results produced are satisfactory, validating the proposed procedure for VCM.

Keywords: planning guidelines; model reference; knowledge management; high complexity; value chain performance; product development process; PDP; value chain management; VCM; innovation performance; technology development; uncertainty; restraint; modelling; knowledge acquisition; knowledge representation.
