“…Las razones económicas están relacionadas con la reducción de costes y riesgos económicos (Veugelers, 1998;Bayona y otros, 2001;Geisler, 2001;Miotti y Sachwald, 2003;Becker y Dietz, 2004;Narula, 2004). En particular, BargeGil y Modrego (2011) incluyen en su estudio la reducción de los costes de los proyectos, la reducción del riesgo asociado a los proyectos, el cumplimiento de las condiciones de los programas públicos y la mejora de la reputación, en el plano económico.…”

La relación entre las empresas españolas y el CSIC: motivaciones, mecanismos y beneficios desde la perspectiva empresarial. Revista Española de Documentación Científica, 38(4): e109. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3989/redc.2015.4.1263Resumen: El presente trabajo explora las motivaciones por las que las empresas españolas interaccionan con el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), describe los mecanismos que relacionan a ambos agentes, y, por último, explica el tipo de beneficio que han obtenido como producto de esta relación. Para ello, se analiza la información facilitada por 787 empresas españolas que han trabajado con el CSIC en actividades de innovación durante el periodo 1999-2010. El estudio permite concluir que las empresas, para relacionarse con el CSIC, prefieren y valoran mejor las motivaciones estratégicas que las tácticas, y en la relación utilizan una amplia variedad de mecanismos entre los que destacan los de apoyo tecnológico o consultoría y los de investigación contratada, mecanismos con bajo nivel de sofisticación. Además, los beneficios que las empresas obtienen rebasan los efectos sobre la innovación y, en consecuencia, sobre los beneficios económicos asociados a la misma, y cubren una amplia gama de resultados tangibles e intangibles.Palabras clave: Relaciones empresa-ciencia; innovación; sistema público de I+D; transferencia de conocimiento; organismo público de investigación (OPI). Interaction between the Spanish firms and the CSIC: motivations, mechanisms and benefits from the firm's perspectiveAbstract: This paper explores Spanish firms' motivations to interact with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and describes the mechanisms by which both agents are related. Finally, it also explores the type of benefit obtained as a result of this interaction. To this aim, we examine data provided by 787 Spanish companies which took part with the CSIC in innovation activities during the period 1999-2010. The study points out that Spanish firms prefer strategic motivations than tactical ones, and that the major mechanisms underlying such interactions are technological support or consulting and contract research. That is, all of them mechanisms with low level of sophistication. Finally, we observe that the benefit obtained by firms goes beyond innovation, or even economical profit associated with it. Different types of tangible and intangible benefits are described in detail.

“…Several studies demonstrate the positive relationship between university-industry interaction and innovation (Santoro, 2000;Geisler, 2001;Belderbos et al, 2004;Faems et al, 2005;Monjon e Waelbroeck, 2003;Giuliani & Arza, 2009). However, we believe some types of interactions are more likely to generate innovation than others.…”

“…The organizational structure, managerial behavior, employees' entrepreneurial mindset, managerial support, and firm absorptive capacity (Cohen & Levinthal, 1990;Geisler, 2001;Bonaccorsi & Piccaluga, 1994) are firm characteristics related to the R&D structure. Research and development intensity is another fundamental firm characteristic for such interaction (Scherer, 1980), and it can be viewed as a proxy for absorptive capacity because firms with higher research and development intensity are more likely to acquire external knowledge from a partnership with a university.…”

“…Many studies have investigated the drivers for interaction between university and firm (Bonaccorsi & Piccaluga, 1994;Geisler, 1995;2001;Meyer-Krahmer & Schmoch, 1998;Mytelka, 2000;Doloreux, 2002;Bruno & Orsenigo, 2003;Asheim & Gertler, 2007) and how these interactions are characterized (Bonaccorsi & Piccaluga, 1994;MeyerKrahmer & Schmoch, 1998;Santoro, 2000;Geisler, 2001). Some studies have investigated the influence of such interaction to firm innovation (Santoro, 2000;Geisler, 2001;Monjon & Waelbroeck, 2003;Belderbos et al, 2004;Faems et al, 2005;Cassiman & Veugelers, 2006, Balconi & Laboranti, 2006, Giuliani & Arza, 2009. However, most studies have been conducted in developed countries and very few in developing countries, such as Brazil, Russia, China, and India.…”

Este trabalho investiga a interação universidade-indústria e seus efeitos sobre a probabilidade de inovação de produtos e processos em um país em desenvolvimento. Especificamente, discute-se que as empresas diferem em tipos e aspectos determinantes para interagir com as universidades e estas diferenças podem proporcionar resultados de inovação distintos. Coletamos e analisamos dados primários de 325 companhias que possuíam alguma interação com universidades em anos anteriores. Os resultados de regressão logística suportaram nossos argumentos, demonstrando como os diferentes tipos de interação proporcionam diferentes resultados de inovação. Palavras-chave:Inovação; Universidade-Indústria; Parcerias Estratégicas. EFFECTS OF UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY INTERACTION ON FIRM'S INNOVATION: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM BRAZILIAN FIRMS. ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the university-industry interaction and its effect on the likelihood of product and process innovation, in a developing country. We argue that firms differ in the type and determinants of interactions with universities and these differences may result in different innovation outcomes. We collected and analyzed primary data from 325 firms that had any interaction with universities in previous years. Logistic regression results provide some support for our argument by demonstrating how different types of interaction result in different innovation outcomes.Keywords: Innovation; University-Industry Interaction; Strategic Alliances.

“…But some authors have claimed that 'behavioural' or 'strategic' additionality are more important and should be taken account of (Buisseret et al 1995;Luukkonen 2000;Arnold 2004). In fact, there are great disparities in recommendations on how to acknowledge success (Geisler 2001). Impact is complex and multidimensional (Bozeman 2000;Lambrecht and Pirnay 2005) but many studies measure only some of its effects (Boekholt et al 2001).…”

The objective of this work is to evaluate the impact of research and technology organizations (RTO) on firm competitiveness. To this end, we develop a framework that includes strategies to deal with the methodological problems highlighted in the literature. The main features of this framework are the definition and classification of different types of impacts, the estimation of (rough) quantitative measures of them and the development of a multivariate model to explain the different impacts including the traditional indicators of firm characteristics and their relationships. The empirical work is based on a database constructed from information from the responses to a questionnaire designed specifically to estimate the impact of RTOs on Spanish firms, and information from the Spanish Inno vation Survey. Our findings show that firms are able to recognize the influence of these relationships on different technical, economic, investment and intangible impacts and to roughly estimate their economic impact, and that several characteristics of these rela tionships affect the impact of RTOs.
