“…So, new proposals to support university-industry (U-I) partnerships aiming at technological innovations could contribute to improving the FFE performance in established companies (Oliveira et al, 2019). Lastly, the management of the FFE is a difficult challenge: high levels of risk and uncertainty claim for more structure to FFE in established companies, so such organizations need to Three-stage R&D shared portfolio methodology develop proper FFE processes and practices (Bagno, Mudrik, Freitas, Cheng, & Melo, 2020;Khurana & Rosenthal, 1998;Oliveira et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present an approach to start industry–university (I-U) collaboration through a stepped process aimed at building a portfolio of research and development (R&D) projects.Design/methodology/approachIt devises from an 18-month action-research program held between a multinational automotive manufacturer and the a top-ranked Brazilian university.FindingsThe three-stage R&D shared portfolio methodology results from a combined application of quality function deployment-like correlation matrices and roadmapping. A first matrix tackles industry interests and correlates product performance dimensions and components to reveal broad research areas of interest. A second matrix correlates research areas and engineering competences, highlighting the types of the required know-how from the university standpoint. Thirdly, academic experts help to fill a roadmap-like layer with possible collaborative R&D deliverables over time.Research limitations/implicationsSince the study lies on a single experience, extensions to other contexts should be made with care. However, the proposal offers robust rationale and a set of supporting tools to nurture new applications.Practical implicationsTheoretical and methodological reflections help managers tackling the long-standing problem of setting a shared R&D agenda.Originality/valueLiterature on I-U collaboration tends or to over-emphasize the role of technology transfer offices in promoting the partnerships or to seek implications for public policy. This research offers a valuable approach to build shared R&D project portfolio from a managerial viewpoint, filling an academic gap and offering guidance for managers in both sides.

Management Methods and Tools (MaTs) are artifacts that assist decision-makers in organizations and have a unique role in innovation and technology-based entrepreneurship. Such a context is characterized by uncertainties and risks that make processes complex and dynamic. The positive impact of adopting MaTs in organizations is well documented in the literature. However, MaTs for innovation and entrepreneurship constitute a myriad of options today, and managers often face the tricky challenge of selecting MaTs properly and implementing them in fruitful ways. In this context, productizing MaTs emerges as a promising path. Productization is the process of analyzing a need, defining, and combining elements to obtain something replicable and understandable, which can be adopted as a "product". Guided by the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, this article develops and discusses a proposal for the productization of MaTs for innovation and entrepreneurship. The study is based on the actual demand of a research network focused on developing and applying MaTs by innovation intermediaries, such as technology parks. The proposed process advances the agenda of disseminating MaTs to potential adopters, fostering more informed applications and positive organizational impacts. It also contributes to the emerging debate on the productization of MaTs from an academic perspective in contexts of high uncertainty and risk, characteristic of innovative companies.
