“…This evidence is in line with the related literature in this field (see: Ho, Liu, Lu, & Hang, 2014;Hsu, Shen, Yuan, & Chou, 2015;Drivas, et al, 2016). Another related finding is that the level of economic development, measured by the GDP per capita, is an important determinant of the performance of the innovation systems at the national level (Rasmussen, Mosey, & Wright, 2014;Calcagnini, & Favaretto, 2016;Chang, 2017;Guerrero, & Urbano, 2017). Although there are limitations based on the number of observations reported in this four-country study, these results are coherent with the relevant literature in this field.…”

This paper characterizes the trends in technological innovation and intellectual property in four Latin American countries (Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru). Toward this aim, we collected a database of patents granted at the national and university levels in combination with information from a variety of sources to construct a set of plausible explanatory variables. Based on panel data at the national level, we verify that the number of patents granted to universities is strongly associated with the share of resources, as a percentage of GDP, invested in science and technology. At the university level, we find that institutions with more scientific publications and larger enrolment size tend to be granted more innovation patents. To some extent, the evidence presented in this paper indicates that both the absolute and relative sizes of resources invested in scientific and technological research at the university level are subject to economies of scale: a greater amount of resources invested in technological research is associated with increasing levels of innovation and patenting activity.

University technology and knowledge transfer from a European perspective (Calcagnini and Favaretto, 2016). The internal and external knowledge flows through the development of the internal capacity of knowledge management, allowing the raise in innovative capacity (Santoro et al 2018).…”

The underlying challenges of knowledge management and technology transfer and their respective contributions to the development of society are well-known and widely discussed issues in business management. This paper aims to (1) build on the state-of-the art literature on knowledge management and technology transfer, (2) to identify the most relevant, recent studies, and main researchers working on the field worldwide, and (3) to unveil topics of recent development in the field, as well as overlap the themes. To this end, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases were screened for studies that explored the relevance of knowledge management and technology transfer. This research focused on the most recent studies comprising the periods of 2013-2018, while employing Metodi Ordinatio as a quality ranking method, producing thus 50 studies submitted for further analysis and appraisal. The study sought to analyze the co-occurrence of keywords on the theme, the number of citations, number of publications per country, year and journal, and the overlap between areas. This paper also enabled an analysis of the steps required for knowledge management and their relationship to technology transfer. The results showed that most studies focused on the private sector and on technology transfer for attaining innovation, customer orientation and acquiring technological abilities. The university-industry relationship was also observed, in which the focus is on universities creating and transferring knowledge in order to foment the economic and technological power of industries. The findings can assist public and private companies, non-governmental organizations, university and industry applications in terms of knowledge management and technology transfer.

“…In order for academic knowledge to be transferred, the university requires the creation of capabilities for the sale or licensing of any form of industrial property (patents, utility models, brands, among others); the transmission of specialized know-how in the form of plans, manuals, formulas; the transmission of knowledge for the acquisition, installation and use of machinery and equipment; and/or materials for the training of personnel, and provision of specialized services (Calcagnini & Favaretto, 2015;Testar, 2012).…”

“…They are also called upon to contribute significantly to economic expansion and social development (Arocena & Sutz, 2005, Maietta, 2015. However, little is known about the processes by which scientific and technological knowledge is transferred from universities and public research centers to the productive and social sectors (González-Pernia et al, 2013;Chang et al, 2016;Ramos & Fernández-Esquinas, 2012;Calcagnini & Favaretto, 2015).…”

<p>This work aims to contribute to the study of university-business linkages, focusing on the processes of generation and transfer of knowledge. The objective is to show the role of the scientific and inventive capabilities generated in the universities, in order to understand how an effective linkage between them and the companies can be fostered to create and develop innovative products through the transfer of technology.We analyze the experience of the Institute of Biomedical Research of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (IBR-UNAM). This institute is a university research center (URC) that in the Mexican context stands out for its relevant generation of scientific and inventive capabilities. It is shown that for the knowledge created in the universities to be transferred to generate new products and/or marketable processes, the efforts of educational and research institutions and the interface units are crucial, as well as the existence of entrepreneurial companies that include innovation as a central factor in their business strategy, capable of identifying and using capabilities generated within universities and public research centers.</p>
