University-Industry Collaboration. An Exploration of An Entrepreneurial University in Mexico

Abstract

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.

Modeling the industry perspective of university-industry collaborative innovation alliances: Player behavior and stability issues

“…117 Universities should develop in parallel with industry and focus more on U-I collaboration activities. 23 U-I collaborations can benefit all their participants, enhancing their reputation, prestige, and responsiveness to government initiatives. 64 The Triple Helix model illustrates the importance of university-industry-government interaction in facilitating the conditions that lead to innovation in a knowledge-based society.…”

“…22 One advantage of collaborating with universities is their ability to generate new knowledge and approaches to solve problems. 23 Confronted with reduced funding from the government, universities seek U-I collaborations to compete in an environment increasingly dependent on market forces. 24 The transfer of knowledge between U-I may involve different types of research cooperation, such as intellectual property rights, spin-offs, start-ups, and technology transfer.…”

Exploring the entrepreneurial landscape of university-industry collaboration on public university spin-off creation: A systematic literature review

“…The study only focuses on researchers affiliated with a public university in Mexico, and the findings may not be generalizable to other contexts and other factors such as academic discipline, research funding, and institutional policies, may also play a role. [66] The approach involves 2 evaluation stages consisting of policy analysis and learning evaluation based on learning system modelling This study employed a quantitative approach to explore the questionnaire data through several stages . The data was collected through surveys of both internal and external stakeholders, including students, alumni, and industry representatives .…”

“…It also underlines the importance of implementing mission models within the triple helix framework [83], particularly with regard to the commercialisation of publicly funded research results and the key role of intermediaries in facilitating the transfer of research results to the wider societal landscape. It also highlights a future research agenda that emphasises the importance of conducting more in-depth research on specific collaborative initiatives [66,88,122], collecting real-time data and adopting a mixed-methods approach. This multi-faceted strategy is essential to gain a holistic and comprehensive understanding of network formation and the intricate links between different dimensions of social capital within these collaborations [80,88,92].…”

Modelo conceptual e instrumento sobre las funciones de la oficina de gestión de proyectos en ámbitos educativos

“…Estos retos son más pronunciados en el escenario educativo, el cual aún no cuenta con modelos altamente reconocidos/ aceptados sobre las funciones de la PMO, como sí ocurre en el contexto de los negocios. Además, al igual que en los negocios "los proyectos fallan a tasas alarmantes" [17], por lo que la implementación y el sostenimiento de las PMO en entornos educativos constituye un notable desafío [18].…”
