Quantitative research, explanatory and operationalized by the survey procedure. The nonprobabilistic sample totaled 89 organizations. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and linear regression. The results show that internal sources and professional sources contribute to organizational innovation in management practices. Among the sources analyzed, the ones that presented the greatest potential to foster innovation in management practices were management control systems and the Productive Extension and Innovation Project. Identified as an instrument of public policy, PEPI seeks to increased production, employment and income, constituting itself as an action that fostered organizational innovation in the organizations surveyed.
