“…A relação entre as políticas de governo referentes ao desenvolvimento científico, tecnológico e industrial e o desempenho dos escritórios de Transferência de Tecnologia em instituições acadêmicas é amplamente confirmada pela literatura, que reitera a necessidade de um trabalho dinâmico entre os agentes da "hélice tripla" para viabilizar o desenvolvimento tecnológico local, regional ou nacional (SHERRY e TEECE, 2004;SIEGEL, 2003;TAMAI e NISHIMURA, 2004;VALENTÍN, 2002).…”

RESUMOEste trabalho avalia os potenciais impactos da Lei de Inovação, aprovada em dezembro de 2004, sobre o Sistema Brasileiro de Inovação, com base na visão empresarial da cooperação com universidades para a transferência de resultados de pesquisa. O objetivo é analisar as condições do ambiente acadêmico e identificar se são favoráveis ou não à operacionalização da Lei, pois uma das principais barreiras à transferência de tecnologia é a diversidade de políticas das universidades públicas em relação à proteção e ao licenciamento do conhecimento ali desenvolvido. A falta de diretrizes claras, tanto nas universidades como no âmbito mais geral da política científica e tecnológica, dificulta a exploração comercial de resultados de pesquisa e sua transformação em produtos e serviços inovadores. A metodologia envolveu pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os Sistemas Nacionais de Inovação em vários países, as políticas públicas adotadas para a gestão da propriedade intelectual na transferência de resultados de pesquisa, e seu relacionamento com a política industrial e tecnológica nesses países. Também foram estudadas políticas de proteção e gestão da propriedade intelectual em universidades brasileiras e estrangeiras. Foi realizada pesquisa de campo em empresas associadas da ANPEI (Associação Nacional de Pesquisa, Desenvolvimento e Engenharia das Empresas Inovadoras), sobre parcerias tecnológicas com as universidades, gestão da propriedade intelectual, e expectativas com relação à Lei de Inovação para a melhoria dos mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia. Os resultados indicam caminhos para possíveis aprimoramentos na Lei de Inovação e melhor definição das políticas acadêmicas, com base nas experiências de diversos países e na opinião de empresas que têm como vantagem competitiva a inovação em produtos e processos.Palavras-chave: Lei de Inovação; Cooperação universidade-empresa; Propriedade intelectual: Transferência de tecnologia

“…They comprise not only the exchange of codified academic research results in the form of publications, licensing and patents, but also collaborative and contracted research activities as well as student, graduate and researcher mobility, along with meetings and conferences, consultancy, joint supervision of final degree theses and informal contacts (Bekkers and Bodas Freitas, 2008;Cohen et al, 2002;D'Este and Fontana, 2007;D'Este and Patel, 2007;Rynes et al, 2001;Valentín, 2002;Wright et al, 2008). However, these transfer strategies require different forms of qualitative involvement and levels of commitment on the part of the transferring institution (D'Este and Patel, 2007;Rosenberg and Nelson, 1994).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate contingency factors on the emergence of university spin-off firms. The institutional and organisational factors the paper explores comprise the transfer potential of the university, the strategy and characteristics of the University Technology Transfer Organisations and specific support for spin-off formation. Design/methodology/approach -Based on a unique data set, this cross-sectional study analyses the population of 54 higher education institutions in Germany. At this, 31.4 per cent of the German universities with technology transfer activities participated in this study. Findings -The research identifies a high degree of heterogeneity in the qualification of University Technology Transfer Offices (UTTO) staff and the existence of an entrepreneurship support programme as important antecedents of spin-off formation. In addition, the results reveal that pursuing different or multiple transfer strategies will not be detrimental to the establishment of spin-offs. Practical implications -It seems that there is still a lack of consensus with respect to the importance of spin-offs as an effective channel to transform research results into economic value. Furthermore, universities aiming at the promotion of spin-offs need appropriate regulations which do not jeopardise the usage of research outcomes for entrepreneurial purposes. Originality/value -This study contributes to enhance the knowledge on what promotes and inhibits the formation of university spin-off firms, as it first analyses a considerable population of UTTOs in Germany and explicitly considers underexplored and new contingency factors.

“…Other frequently cited proxies for university-industry cooperation are basic and applied R&D projects, meetings and conferences, student, graduate and researcher mobility, consultancy and training, joint supervision of final degree theses as well as informal contacts (Freeman, 2000;Rynes et al, 2001;Cohen et al, 2002;Mora Valentin, 2002;D'Este and Fontana, 2007;D'Este and Patel 2007;Bekkers and Bodas Freitas 2008;Wright et al, 2008). Moreover, academic start-ups are becoming increasingly important as a transfer mechanism (Di Gregorio and Shane, 2003;Guenther and Wagner, 2008).…”

University-industry cooperation is important for economic development, particularly at the regional level. Despite this relevance, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the underlying factors that drive the transfer of knowledge and technology. Therefore, this research aims to identify factors related to academic staff's personal and professional characteristics that influence the decision to cooperate with industry. To attain this objective, we built up a unique dataset of academic staff, based on a survey of the total population of a higher education institution in Portugal. Based on a logistic regression, the results reveal that variables such as gender, age and the school influence academic staff's propensity to cooperate with the business sector. We present theoretical and practical implications for academics, policy-makers and practitioners.
