The open collaborative innovation model based on a triple helix proposes a way by which collaborative processes and innovation networks create value. It contains seven components: (1) innovation challenges, (2) internal-external knowledge, (3) paradigm change, (4) leadership, (5) interinstitutional and transdisciplinary teams, (6) communication, and (7) creative solutions; and six principles: (1) identity, (2) agreements,(3) flexibility, (4) commitment, (5) recognition, and (6) trust. This research emphasizes on the importance of Component 5 for programs of open collaborative innovation, since the joint work among the academy, the government, and the industry to create a triple helix consolidates systems of regional innovation that are necessary to improve national competitiveness and productivity.

El objetivo de este artículo, basado en la investigación científica que lo sustenta, es aportar nuevas evidencias en el campo del emprendimiento relacionado con sostenibilidad, las intenciones emprendedoras y la creación de empresas en estudiantes universitarios, en el Valle del Cauca. Se trabajó con una muestra de 246 estudiantes de contaduría pública y administración de empresas de la Universidad del Valle, Sede Norte del Cauca. Los resultados señalan que el 70% de alumnos estaban interesados en ser empresarios con enfoque sostenible, siendo la variable con mejor valoración el apoyo de la familia y que a mejor percepción de la norma subjetiva mayor intención emprendedora sostenible en las personas. De esta manera se comprobó la hipótesis formulada: cuanto mayor es en los estudiantes la percepción de una positiva valoración social respecto a la creación de empresas sostenibles, mayor es su actitud emprendedora

Este documento es un extracto del informe de investigación titulado, “MicMac, aplicado a los componentes del PENTEX, una aproximación a la validación de las matrices” (Pérez-Uribe, Nieto, Vargas y Díaz, 2015), cuyo propósito es divulgar la aplicación de la metodología de análisis estructural, aplicado a la definición de las variables que fundamenten un proceso de intervención en las organizaciones.

This chapter is based on a work of approximately twelve years implementing the MMOM (Model of Modernization for Organizational Management) in about 310 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). In this way we wanted to analyze which of sixteen components better explain the behavior of innovation management and knowledge. This is in order to present to the entrepreneurs of this type of companies and to the academics, that a series of activities in which to concentrate to develop this component. A multivariate analysis was carried out, specifying a dependent variable in the innovation and knowledge component. The remaining fifteen elements act as independent variables, in such a way that this statistical model yielded the predictive mathematical equation. This equation showed that showed those factors that work preferentially in order to develop innovative SMEs.

Based on the hypothesis that human resources management directly depends on a set of organizational components that are the core for SMEs sustainability, this chapter expands previous findings in the literature. Based on a multiple regression analysis and MMOM (modernization model for organization management) implementation in 246 Colombian SMEs (small and medium enterprises), the authors show that some organizational components explain and generate 64.86% of human resources management best practices.
