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.
