“…In U-I relations companies also aim to complement their own resources (Penrose, 1995;Langlois, 2009), creating new assets and incrementing their absorptive capacity (Cohen & Levinthal, 1990;Nelson, 2000). This is the main purpose of university-industry relations: to complement companies' resources by producing high qualified scientific knowledge.…”

In order to develop innovations, companies are establishing University-Industry (U-I) relations which are explained in theories like the Triple Helix. Maybe this traditional view it is not enough to describe what happens in Brazil. Followed by a growth of articles published internationally, companies in technologically stable industries seem to be incorporating high-tech outcomes from universities, boosting sectors that once were apparently inert. This research will propose a different approach on U-I relations, focusing on the Knowledge Flow. Results show that agriculture companies are increasing their relations as much as engineering companies. Such relations are mainly based on raw technologies or applied solutions. Start-up firms' relations are mainly based on informal contacts and patents are not used to protect technologies. The Silent Run shows that companies which appear to be technologically stable are now upgrading trough U-I, and patents does not seem to be the first option when protecting new technologies.

“…Zahra and George (2002) proposed four dimensions of absorptive capacity: 1) acquisition (the ability to find and prioritise new knowledge quickly and efficiently), 2) assimilation (the ability to understand it and link it to existing knowledge), 3) transformation (the ability to combine, convert and recodify it), and 4) exploitation (the ability to put it to productive use). Together, these four dimensions enable organisations to systematically identify, capture, interpret, share, re-frame, and re-codify new knowledge, to link it with their own existing knowledge base, and to put it to appropriate use, resulting in an improved ability to assimilate innovations [18], [29], [33]. Thus, an organisation"s absorptive capacity is positively associated with adoption [18], [33], [34].…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may AbstractA better understanding of factors influencing eHealth adoption is required given the strong policy attention to eHealth but a low level of actual adoption in many European countries. A model for organisational eHealth adoption is proposed in the study, derived from several adoption frameworks. The empirical part is based on a survey among hospitals in the Netherlands and includes a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach. Specific attention is paid to measurement of organisational readiness and to adoption as a process including different stages. Our results suggest a sharp decrease in the adoption process after the stage of interest/commitment and significant influence of size of the hospital, organisational readiness including technical aspects, and support by top management of the hospital. The paper concludes with some organisational strategies and policies to foster eHealth adoption and suggestions for future study.

RESUMOO relacionamento entre Marketing e Estratégia é investigado nesta pesquisa bibliométrica em vinte publicações dos principais periódicos acadêmicos, divididos igualmente quanto à área de conhecimento. Foram usadas técnicas de citação, cocitação, análise fatorial exploratória (AFE) e escalonamento multidimensional (EMD) para identificação dos trabalhos mais influentes, das abordagens conceituais empregadas e da evolução deste diálogo ao longo destes primeiros 14 anos do século XXI. A amostra selecionada foi composta por 5.270 artigos e mais de 130.000 citações, que tiveram forte influência conceitual da Visão Baseada em Recursos (VBR), Estratégia Baseada em Conhecimento, de trabalhos envolvendo Teoria dos Custos de Transação (TCT) e estratégia competitiva da Organização Industrial (OI). As referências mais citadas foram agrupadas em três fatores representando estas abordagens conceituais empregadas. Os resultados evidenciam: a) um crescimento representativo dos artigos utilizando as duas áreas nos periódicos de Marketing; b) VBR, TCT e OI como os temas de Estratégia mais utilizados para a abordagem de Marketing e; c) os estudos mais relevantes no período analisado. Este artigo propõe uma agenda para pesquisas futuras que aprofunde a investigação da relação entre Marketing e Estratégia e supra as lacunas apontadas. Palavras-chave:Marketing; Estratégia; Estudo Bibliométrico; Análise de Cocitação; Análise Fatorial. SEARCH FOR MARKETING AND STRATEGY IN KEY INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL: A BIBLIOMETRIC PUBLICATIONS STUDY ON THE XXI CENTURY ABSTRACTThis bibliometric study investigates Marketing and Strategy association in twenty relevant academic journals, divided equally between both fields. The methods used to identify the most influential studies; the most common conceptual approach and how researches from both areas evolved in the first fourteen years of the 21 st century were citation and cocitation network analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and metric multidimensional scaling (MDS). Sample size was comprised of 5,270 articles, embodying over 130,000 citations, which had a relevant conceptual influence on the Resource Based View (RBV), Knowledge Based View (KBV), Transaction Cost Theory (TCT) and competitive strategy of the Industrial Organization (IO). Uppermost cited references were clustered in three factors, representing the theoretical approach used when both disciplines are compiled. The results showed: a) meaningful increase on the number of papers encompassing both areas in Marketing journals; b) RBV, TCT and IO as the most used Strategic themes to connect with Marketing and c) the overall most cited studies in the period of analysis. Guidelines for future research are provided for further investigation on the combination of Marketing and Strategy, identifying possible gaps to be covered. Keywords:Marketing; Strategy; Bibliometric Study; Co-Citation Analysis; Factor Analysis.
