Evaluative management, nowadays, has become a fundamental element within every company, both international and national, especially if it is linked to technology. With this element, current processes are no longer as slow as they were in previous times. In this sense, the study aimed to analyze applying technological evaluative management as a driver of innovation in the company Repuestos Discro 2014 C.A., to determine whether this company uses this tool. For this, theories such as Schumpeter's theory of innovation (1912), Perozo and Nava's theory of technological management (2005), and Rogers' theory of innovation diffusion (1962) were addressed. Methodologically, it was a quantitative study, with a field research design, collecting information through surveys directed at the four employees of the company, with five (05) dichotomous questions; subsequently, the responses were analyzed one by one and tabulated graphically. As a result, it was found that 0% of the employees said that there is no application of formal GET practices, which indicated that there are weaknesses in the evaluation strategies within the company.
