Modelo de difusão da inovação para instituto de pesquisa no Brasil

Abstract

The proposed innovation diffusion model for public research institutes in Brazil suggests that the interrelationship of research institutions and enterprises can occur differently from what has been observed in practice. More often than rare, one has been questioning NITs primacy on managing innovation policy research institutes to promote technology transfer and interaction with companies. Aiming to leverage the scientific development, by increasing the throughtput of innovative products and services and the flow of knowledge produced and transferred to the society, it is suggested that innovation diffusion strategy for research institutes can occur with higher efficiency than currently occurs. The compatibility between the production, supply and demand of scientific knowledge on the part of public research institutes and companies in Brazil is due to the multiplicity of possible strategies, as suggested by the systemic approach, portfolio and associated business models. A multichannel distribution structure can contribute to the efficiency of innovation diffusion by incorporating functions previously performed by components of channels not always agile and / or with specific skills to manage the relationship with companies. This study is based on the grounded theory as its methodology. For categorization and posterior axial coding purposes, it were used 63 data sources, being 21 interviews and 42 lectures, and as a result it was possible to elaborate a theoretical model for innovation diffusion for research institutes public in Brazil.

Technology Transfer Capability: development dynamics in higher education institutions

“…The assumption is that HEIs may reduce steps in the development of new goods, as well as mitigate the limitations of keeping a Research and Development sector (R&D) in a firm (HELLMAN, 2007;MATHEWS;HU, 2007). However, despite its importance and the efforts made by governments, technology transfer is still a bottleneck in most of Brazilian public HEIs (ADES, 2013;CADORI, 2013;MCTI, 2015).We can define technology transfer as the action of transferring technology originating in one organization to another or to other organizations, through the necessary comprehension, interpretation,…”
