“…(B) Joint venture intensity , measured as the number of joint spinoffs established with other TTOs. This strategy aims to create synergies between the intellectual capitals of two or more teams of academic inventors across TTOs to increase the chances of commercialization (Barletta et al, 2017; Bekkers and Freitas, 2008). As in the case of outsourcing intensity, we expect that the more autonomous a TTO, the more it would make decisions about how many joint ventures to develop without paying attention to the most successful TTOs, resulting in a different (i.e.…”

We investigate whether university technology transfer offices, that is, divisions responsible for the commercialization of academic research, imitate their industry peers when designing their commercialization strategy. We borrow from information-based theories of imitation and the literature on academic entrepreneurship to argue that given a technology transfer office’s autonomy to strategize independently from its parent university, information from within and outside the technology transfer office affects its propensity to imitate the commercialization strategy of the “most successful peers,” that is, those with the largest live spinoff portfolio and greatest revenues from spinoffs in the industry. We contend that a technology transfer office’s experience, that is, a function of its age, represents a key internal source of information for the technology transfer office when deciding whether to imitate or not; we also consider the technology transfer office’s embeddedness in a network where the most successful peer is also a member as a key external source of information. From data on 86 British university technology transfer offices and their commercialization strategies between 1993 and 2007 that were drawn from both secondary sources and in-depth interviews with technology transfer office managers, we find that there is a negative relationship between technology transfer offices’ autonomy and their level of imitation of the most successful technology transfer office’s strategy, and that this relationship is moderated by the technology transfer offices’ age and by their membership into an association where the most successful technology transfer office is also a member.

“…Recent studies by Barletta et al (2017) and Bekkers and Freitas (2008) looked at TTO strategies via interfirm collaboration. They argue that joint R&D projects among TTOs or between TTOs and external organizations have often led to commercialization via joint venture spinoffs.…”

“…Adicionalmente, Barletta et al, (2017) en un estudio en 314 grupos de investigación de Argentina en tecnología de la información y comunicación (TIC), exploraron sobre la productividad científica y las actividades de transferencia. En primer lugar, indagaron a cerca de los factores relacionados con el desempeño de los grupos de investigación en términos de transferencia de tecnología y productividad científica.…”

El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar la relación entre el capital social (bonding y bridging) y los resultados de los grupos de investigación, desarrollo tecnológico e innovación de las instituciones de educación superior (IES) en el Departamento del Atlántico, Colombia. Se analizó la literatura existente (Scielo, Scopus, Elsevier y Emerald) entre el año 2010 y 2020. Se compararon los referentes bibliográficos de capital social con los indicadores del perfil de colaboración de los grupos de investigación categorizados por el Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología del Departamento del Atlántico. Los principales hallazgos destacan que las relaciones que los investigadores establecen, permiten generar valor institucional porque promueven el aprendizaje y responden a necesidades del entono. Se concluye que siendo las IES generadoras de nuevo conocimiento, parte de sus resultados se ven representados por la relación interna y externa de los grupos de investigación, los cuales facilitan y fortalecen el trabajo en la medida que establecen conexiones de cohesión y cooperación.

“…Second, universities need to improve the professionalization of internal processes related to innovation and entrepreneurial behavior, and to create policies to be efficient in the transfer and protection of knowledge and technology (Siegel et al 2004;Bercovitz and Feldmann 2006;D´Este and Patel 2007;Callaert et al 2015;Ávila et al 2017;Chais et al 2018;Fichter and Tiemann 2018). In addition, universities require personnel with expertise in determining the commercial value of research results and in managing research results (Decter et al 2007;Bozeman et al 2015;Aragonés-Beltrán et al 2017;Barletta et al 2017). Another relevant obstacles are related to financial resources and the lack of an entrepreneurial orientation and intention (Fichter and Tiemann, 2018) and with resources availability (for example: technology) and institutional culture (Ávila et al, 2017).…”

This research aims to explore the university-industry collaboration in a public university in Mexico. This research considers the resear-chers´ perception of organizational factors and the researchers´ characteristics as drivers of the university-industry collaboration. The research design of this study was quantitative. Findings indicate that the researchers´ participation in innovation projects is low. The researchers´ perception about some organizational factors to collaborate with industry is negative. Data shows that researchers consider complicate to establish a relationship with industry that is mainly related to organizational factors. In addition, important findings of this study suggest that researchers´ gender influence the university-industry collaboration.
