Mecanismos de transferencia tecnológica y del conocimiento: una revisión temática de literatura

Technology and knowledge transfer mechanisms: a thematic literature review

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es un análisis detallado de los mecanismos de transferencia de tecnología utilizados en centros de investigación e innovación y universidades mediante una revisión de literatura. Para esto se utiliza la lista de verificación PRISMA. Se utilizan las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science y se seleccionan 99 documentos para el análisis de principales actores investigativos, evolución temática, temas de mayor impacto y mecanismos de transferencia tecnológica. Se propone una agenda investigativa con los temas de mayor potencial futuro: relación universidad-empresa, comercialización de tecnología, rendimiento de la innovación, universidad emprendedora y modelo triple hélice. Los resultados también dan cuenta de los mecanismos de transferencia tecnológica más recurrentes en la literatura. Se concluye que el mecanismo más apropiado para la transferencia de tecnología depende de la tecnología específica, las organizaciones involucradas y los objetivos de la transferencia.
