Resumen (en)

The formal university technology transfer (TTU) in Colombia can contribute significantly to the country’s economic development. Based on the Theory of Resources and Capacities, this paper investigates the determinants of transfer in Colombian public and private universities. For this, we used structural equations methodology from data collected through a survey of 20 Colombian universities. The results of the estimates empirically confirm the significance of the financial, commercial, cultural, and human dimensions in the technology transfer process. Among the main factors that positively influence the TTU are: 1. the importance of external financial resources, 2. having a technological portfolio, 3. the time that transfer activities have been carried out, and 4. the people in charge’s experience.: The study shows us that it is necessary to strengthen policies within universities and improve their articulation with firms to achieve more successful technology transfer processes.

Resumen (es)

La transferencia tecnológica universitaria (TTU) formal en Colombia puede contribuir de manera significativa al desarrollo económico del país. Basado en la Teoría de los Recursos y las Capacidades, este trabajo investiga los determinantes de la transferencia en las universidades públicas y privadas colombianas. Para esto, es utilizada la metodología de ecuaciones estructurales a partir de datos recopilados mediante una encuesta a 20 universidades colombianas. Los resultados de las estimaciones confirman empíricamente la significancia de las dimensiones financiera, comercial, cultural y humana en el proceso de transferencia tecnológica. Entre los principales factores que influyen positivamente en la TTU, se encontró: 1. la importancia que tienen los recursos financieros externos, 2. el contar con un portafolio tecnológico, 3. el tiempo que se lleva realizando actividades de transferencia y 4. la experiencia de las personas encargadas. El estudio nos muestra que es necesario fortalecer las políticas al interior de las universidades y mejorar su articulación con las empresas para lograr procesos de transferencia tecnológica más exitosos.
