“…Similar findings have been pointed out for the Brazilian case (Albuquerque, Suzigan, Kruss, & Lee, 2015;Cruz, 2019;Fernandes et al, 2010;Rapini et al, 2009;Rocha, Lima, Lameira, & Quelhas, 2012;Schaeffer et al, 2015;Suzigan et al, 2009). Studying linkages between public research organizations (PRO) and companies in Brazil, Fernandes et al (2010) found higher mutual benefits when the relations were based on technical services provided by PRO than on investments in R&D. According to Fernandes et al (2010), this is not surprising for 'immature National Systems of Innovation.'…”

“…Freitas, Marques and Silva (2013) and Guimón (2013) sustain that developing countries may face even higher barriers to establish collaboration between academia and industry. Experiences from Latin American (LA) countries in general and Brazil, in particular, offer additional insights (Arocena & Sutz, 2003;Dutrénit & Arza, 2010;Ferreira & Ramos, 2015;Fischer et al, 2017;Schaeffer et al, 2015). Dutrénit and Arza (2010) provide some evidence that interactions between ROs and industry, although still weak for international standards, have increased since the turn to the new millennium, mainly as a consequence of policy changes that followed the emergence of intellectual and political discussions on the benefits of promoting ROsindustry interactions.…”

“…The companies' answers about their interests in cooperation strengthen this conclusion since they declared that the willingness to cooperate was due to financial resources offered by Embrapii in the first place. They were secondly related to human, material, and infrastructure resources offered by ROs, following the literature that investigates the reasons for this kind of cooperation (Dietz & Bozeman, 2005;Schaeffer et al, 2015). When inquired about the motivation of cooperation, ROs highlight the firm's demands and secondly the combination of the firm's demands and their own interest (Figure 2).…”

“…Several reasons justify the importance of getting stronger links between ROs and companies (Cohen, Nelson, & Walsh, 2002;Etzkowitz, 1998). Generally speaking, companies collaborate with ROs in order to access leading-edge research knowledge, research infrastructures, or research services to complement in-house capabilities, to identify potential future employees, and to take advantage of networking effects (Dietz & Bozeman, 2005;Schaeffer, Ruffoni, & Puffal, 2015).…”

Context: dynamic and productive linkages between research organizations (ROs) and industry are actively spurred in advanced nations. Conversely, Latin American countries face significant challenges in fostering research-industry interactions. Solid models of research-industry cooperation are of particular interest to emerging economies such as Brazil. Objective: this article aims at presenting a comprehensive study of the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Research and Innovation - Embrapii, an entity focused on addressing barriers to cooperation between research ROs and companies. Methods: data from 63 projects supported by Embrapii involving three ROs and 44 companies was collected employing four sources of primary data: two web questionnaires, interviews and technical visits. The scope of the study is based on Embrapii’s initial phase carried out during 2012-2016. Results: findings revealed that specificities of the model allow the emergence of conditions for effective research-industry cooperation. Conclusion: The Embrapii’s model contributed to overcoming both orientation-related and transaction-related barriers, resulting in positive outcomes. Expected technological results such as new products, processes, and methodologies, were achieved in the majority of projects.

“…The next paragraphs address the findings of each of these areas. The collaboration between universities and companies as a means to boost OI is the object of research of most of the studies identified (Alves & Pimenta-Bueno, 2014;Castro et al, 2014;Carrijo & Botelho, 2013;Closs & Ferreira, 2012;Fernandes et al, 2016;Gielfi et al, 2017;Matei et al, 2015;Oliveira & Balestrin, 2015;Schaeffer et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2013b;Stal & Fujino, 2016). Closs & Ferreira (2012) point out that university-company collaboration tends to be positive for companies because, in addition to reducing innovation costs, it also allows greater access to qualified people and university structures, especially laboratories.…”

Systematic Review Creative Commons Attribution License 1. Introduction The last decades have challenged several firms to adopt new innovation models (Sikimic et al., 2016; Slater et al., 2014; Von Hippel, 1986). These challenges arise from companies in different parts of the world simultaneously searching for markets and new ways of organizing innovation; this creates opportunities to access new technologies, and novel supply possibilities and partnerships, not only with local companies, but also with firms in other countries. In this scenario, the Open Innovation (OI) concept as proposed by Chesbrough (2003) has been highlighted by practitioners and researchers (e.g., Laursen & Salter, 2006; Randhawa et al., 2016; Rubera et al., 2016) because of its potential to intensify the flow of internal and external knowledge in order to improve the innovation process. Due to recent changes in the business environment, reflected in the increasing speed of technological changes and shortened life cycle of products, it is difficult for companies to ensure their competitiveness through the unique and exclusive internal development of new technologies (D'Ambrosio et al., 2017). Therefore, many companies are developing more open ways to innovate what is also known as OI: a model in which companies more intensively use ideas and technologies developed inside and outside their borders in the innovation process (Chesbrough, 2012; Bogers et al., 2017). Furthermore, OI also tends to provide new sources of revenue for firms through actions such as inclusion in new markets and the prospects of spin-offs and trading licenses. These

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the compensation between research groups and companies that contribute the most for the innovative performance of Brazilian public higher educational institutions (PHEI), using as database the 2010’s tabular plan from CNPq’s Directory of Research Groups. Design/methodology/approach Descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques such as spearman correlation, cluster analysis, ANOVA and discriminant analysis were used. Findings Compensations that contribute the most for the updating of the PHEI are identified as transfer of financial resources from the partner to the group; providing grants for the group; transfer of material supplies to partner’s activities; temporary physical transfer of human resources from the group to the activities conducted by the partner; other forms of compensation that do not fit in the previous categories; and partnering with transfers of resources of any kind going in any direction. Research limitations/implications As a limitation, it is pointed out the discontinuity of the tabular plan, which presents 2010 as the last available data. Practical implications The results can contribute to programs and policies to encourage innovation within universities. Originality/value It may be inferred that the stimulus to specific compensations may expand the quantitative idea of interaction points between the university and companies, linking qualitative aspects, which leads to an understanding that such interactions may, in fact, contribute directly to the activity of generating and spreading knowledge and innovation.
