This article gathers some of the most important theoretical and conceptual references, systematized from the review and consultation of specialized literature on university Spin Off, through a documentary type methodological qualitative process with a tendency to observe closely, afterwards, the capacity that has the University of Cauca, a public Colombian higher education institution, regarding the organization of knowledge to transfer the results generated by its research groups towards the environment, in alliance with entrepreneurs and other groups of interest, where the following analytical categories among others, are highlighted: The evaluation of the diverse typologies presented by well-known experts based on their heterogeneity. The analysis of different organizational models related to this type of entrepreneurships. The factors of success and the failure of some universities Spin Offs. The stages that might have to be exhausted for the successful implementation of this kind of organizations and the basic aspects to be considered in the relationship between University-Firm-State. As closure, it is suggested that for all legal purposes, a university Spin-Off in Colombia is "a company based on knowledge, especially the one protected by rights of Intellectual Property, created in the area of the Higher Education Institution (HEI), as a result of research and development activities conducted under their support, in their laboratories and facilities or by researchers who are linked to them, among others" (Law 1838, Act of 2017).

This paper aims to analyze the descriptive interpretations of the census applied to sixty-four research groups classified by the Administrative Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (COLCIENCIAS) for Universidad del Cauca (UNICAUCA) in the call 781 of 2017, submitting them to a quantitative evaluation using the Karl Person correlation model for pooled data, prior contextualization based on some of the conceptual referents applied by the state entity referred to classify and measure the quality and impact of the groups of I+D+i and their dynamics. From the results obtained in the crossing of variables among categories of groups and areas of knowledge compared to their aptitudes for the deployment of spin-off-type technology-based undertakings, it was possible to verify, among other relevant aspects, that the highest categorization is not a determining factor for groups that develop innovative products and have an entrepreneurial profile.

ResumenEl presente trabajo pretende evidenciar las capacidades que la Universidad del Cauca en Colombia (UNICAUCA), una institución pública nacional de Educación Superior, tendría para convertirse en el mediano plazo en una universidad emprendedora en el marco de un ecosistema de emprendimiento e innovación. Se realiza una evaluación de la literatura científica pertinente, se analizan de referentes legales relacionados con la temática y se obtiene información a través de un censo aplicado a los 64 grupos de investigación de UNICAUCA reconocidos por el Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación de COLCIENCIAS en 2017. Los resultados sugieren, entre otras consideraciones relevantes, que el 89% de ellos, en razón de su perfil y de sus capacidades, estaría en condiciones de desarrollar o de hacer parte de proyectos de base tecnológica tipo Spin Off.

Los cambios en el entorno exigen la transformación de los currículos de formación en turismo, desde una formación tradicional a una integral, que guarde equilibrio entre la teoría y la práctica, e incluya el desarrollo de competencias blandas y el uso de herramientas tecnológicas. Este artículo teórico-conceptual busca identificar las competencias, habilidades y características sugeridas en la formación en turismo, y describir las tendencias generales de investigación sobre la innovación curricular en dicho tema. Se hace un análisis de artículos científicos académicos extraídos de las bases de datos Scopus y Science Direct entre 2008 y 2018.
