Prácticas de referencia asociadas a la creación de Spin-off Universitarias

Abstract

The commercialization of the research results of the universities has gained strength, due to the juncture and interest for take of the potential returns that these have to offer. To this end, some universities have identified the creation of Spin-off as a direct technology transfer mechanism, which shows great economic benefits in the regions where they are developed. However, its creation process presents several challenges and risks that the actors involved must assume, so this article presents a review and analysis of the scientific literature on university spin-offs for the identification of reference practices associated with its creation. The results allowed to establish the bases of a conceptual model of the spin-off creation, identifying the reference practices for each of the different stages of the process, useful to provide stakeholders, a guide for the development of this type of academic entrepreneurship.
