Scientific-technological cooperation networks in intersectoral contexts

Abstract

This article is oriented to the creation of a scientific-technological cooperation network in the interorganizational and intersectoral field, from the participative management of local actors. In this regard, a relational interface characterized by the exchange and transaction of knowledge is conceived. The work is done using logical reasoning methods that derive in the inference and proactive analysis from the contributions of the theory of networks, cooperation and graphs. The empirical component addresses key actors in the university-government-business sector, located in the state of Falcón, Venezuela. The results show that the dynamics of the institutional management enables the configuration of the network with the definition of its structure and functionality. The conclusion highlights the importance of the participative management for the integration of scientific-technological networks, by means of flows of cooperation between the work teams that constitute the nodes of the network.
