Technology Transfer Capability: development dynamics in higher education institutions

Abstract

Starting in the 1980s, several national governments were explicitly fostering the generation of new technologies in higher education institutions (HEIs) and the transfer of their respective outcomes into the productive sector (SANTOS; TOLEDO; LOTUFO, 2009; CLARIM, 2011). 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,

Dynamic Capabilities for Accreditation: Evidence in the Healthcare Sector

“…Although, historically, academic research investigating dynamic capabilities have covered themes such as strategy and innovation, in recent years, studies have been conducted under different perspectives, thus broadening the scope of dynamic capabilities and strengthening its explanatory power for comprehending organizational reality. In this sense, in consonance with Albort-Morant, Leal-Rodríguez, Fernández-Rodríguez and Ariza-Montes (2018), dynamic capabilities have been used to explain, among other issues: technology transfers (Fernandes & Machado, 2019); the creation of capacities for engineering projects (Freitas & Salerno, 2018); the development of wine tourism (Lavandoski, Silva, Vargas-Sánchez, & Pinto, 2017) and supply chain collaboration (Mandal, 2017).…”

Prologue Two: Transfer of Technology

“…While the technology transfer process can be complex and interconnected, five general phases for effective actions can be identified (Figure 1) [8,10]. Transfer of technology process starts at new technology development through research, development, and international cooperative partnership initiatives.…”

“…At this phase, the research results will be regularized and protected. In addition, the verification of the potential of technology transfer and search for industrial partners are realized [10,11].…”

“…For proprietary technology, the existence of an enabling legal environment is a key issue during this stage. The identification of transfer needs and opportunities, through appropriate access to and exchange of information with regard to the existence of technologies and their potential for application, is an important initial step in the transfer process [10].…”

Fluxo Temporal da Capacidade de Transferência Tecnológica: Além do Ciclo de Vida

“…Embora haja diferentes modelos de transferência tecnológica sugeridos pela literatura (Bercovitz & Feldmann, 2006;Cadori, 2013;Carvalho & Cunha, 2013;Jagoda, Maheshwari, & Lonseth, 2010;Necoechea-Mondragón, Pineda-Domínguez, & Soto-Flores, 2013;Rogers, Takegami, & Yin, 2001;Szulanski, 2000;Takahashi & Sacomano, 2002), foi possível observar o surgimento de uma corrente recente de pesquisa que alinha a abordagem das capacidades dinâmicas ao processo de transferência tecnológica no contexto das IESs (Bejinaru, 2017;Fernandes & Machado, 2019;Heaton, Siegel, & Teece, 2019;O'Reilly, Robbins, & Scanlan, 2019;Teece, Peteraf, & Leih, 2016;Yuan, Li, Vlas, & Peng, 2018).…”
