Vinculando el talento de investigadores y emprendedores para la innovación

Abstract

ResumenEl objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar la vinculación entre el talento de investigadores y emprendedores, mediante un modelo de emparejamiento considerando las fricciones que pudieran existir (matching model with search frictions). La principal contribución se basa en ampliar el conocimiento en la modelación de la innovación exitosa como resultado de un proceso de búsqueda con fricciones. Se muestra evidencia de que los países que son creativos también son productores de conocimiento, y a la vez tienen mejores insumos para la innovación. Para lograr ser más competitivo a nivel país deben considerarse todos los factores (inputs) que impulsan la innovación (outputs). También se encontró que los países de mayor desarrollo han adoptado estrategias de innovación más articuladas a diferencia de los países con menor desarrollo, incluyendo la facilidad para la vinculación entre investigadores y emprendedores. Las conclusiones del presente trabajo pueden ser relevantes en el diseño de estrategias y políticas gubernamentales para promover el desarrollo y el crecimiento a través de la innovación.

The main contribution is expanding the knowledge on the modeling of successful innovation as a result of a frictions search process. There is also evidence that creative countries are also producers of knowledge and, in turn, have better inputs for innovation. In order to be more competitive at a national level, all the factors (inputs) that promote innovation (outputs) must be considered. Furthermore, it was found that the more developed countries have adopted more articulated innovation strategies, unlike less developed countries, including the ease to create a connection between researchers and entrepreneurs. The conclusions hereof can be relevant for the design of governmental strategies and policies to promote development and growth through innovation. JEL Classification: J01, J23, J24, M51, O31

University–Industry Collaboration: A Sustainable Technology Transfer Model

“…Among these collaborations toward innovation, the link between university and industry stands out: it consists of concentrated action by both organizations, with the state playing an important role, participating as an integrator of the linking process and as a public-policy maker to promote those collaborations (Mascarenhas et al 2018). Thus, the mission of universities is no longer limited to research and training, but rather incorporates a third mission: contributing to the economic growth of the regions in which they are located (Arocena and Sutz 2005;Terán-Bustamante and Colla-De-Robertis 2018;Branscomb et al 1999;Bell 1999;Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff 2000;Gulbrandsen and Slipersaeter 2007;Barro 2015;Rasmussen and Wright 2015) and societal welfare.…”

“…The main problem of the university-company link derives from the heterogeneous language spoken by each actor since it would seem that both pursue different purposes (Saavedra 2009;Solleiro et al 2014). Therefore, the importance of elucidating the research action in this relationship is highlighted (Solleiro et al 2014;Terán-Bustamante and Colla-De-Robertis 2018), whereby researchers are active participants in the process of change, with the presence of a facilitator of this meeting between the production sector and the university, the state, to generate innovation-allowing capabilities.…”
