Análisis de los mecanismos de transferencia tecnológica entre los sectores científico-tecnológico y productivo de Argentina

Abstract

This paper addresses the behavior of technology transfer offices in Argentina, which are defined as interface structures between the productive sector and the scientific, technological and educational areas. In that sense, results from a quantitative analysis of the different interaction mechanisms displayed by these organizations in order to facilitate this interaction are provided. By means of a depth statistical framework it was possible to define and rank different variables related to both the characteristics of these offices and the productive sector. The analysis of the relationship among those variables allowed making inferences about the way technological transferring units behave as facilitators of processes that foster the partnership between those who produce knowledge and those who benefit from its use. © Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Facultad de Economía y Negocios.
