University and Innovation: from the management to the action in the Costa Rica Institute of Technology

Abstract  This article presents a proposed model for managing innovation in the university environment. The subject is approached from the general to the specific. First, it presents a benchmarking analysis in order to identify best practices in the field; then, an internal review of the university related to the innovation process. Finally, a model was designed and validated through focus groups to obtain the final model proposed.The model design was based in two perspectives: the macro perspective and micro perspective. The macro perspective is based on the industry-stateuniversity linkages present in the Triple Helix Model of Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, which suggests that innovation and technological development benefits from the interrelationships of these entities. The micro perspective presents a more detailed approach to the interrelationships that arises in the macro model, but specifically for the Tecnológico de Costa Rica.

Se aborda la temática desde lo general hasta lo específico. Primero, se plantea un análisis de benchmarking con el fin de conocer las mejores prácticas en el tema, seguido de la revisión, a nivel interno, de la universidad en cuanto a la gestión de la innovación; por último, se diseña un modelo que es sometido a validación a través de focus groups con el fin de obtener el modelo final propuesto. La creación del modelo se basó en dos perspectivas: la perspectiva macro y la perspectiva micro. En la perspectiva macro se empleó la relación entre Estado-universidad-industria que propone el Modelo de la Triple Hélice de Etzkowitz y Leydesdorff, que plantea que la innovación y el desarrollo tecnológico se benefician de las interrelaciones de los entes mencionados anteriormente. En la perspectiva micro se hace un abordaje más detallado de las interrelaciones que se plantea en el modelo macro, pero de manera específica para el Tecnológico de Costa Rica.
