TRANSFERÊNCIA DE CONHECIMENTO E TECNOLOGIA ENTRE EMPRESA/UNIVERSIDADE: ESTUDO DE CASO NA FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE GOIÁS

Abstract

The demand for alliances between companies and universities for knowledge and technology transfer has grown due to the need for both to create more sophisticated knowledge and to develop and market products with quality and value. Talking about Knowledge Transfer implies talking about Technology Transfer, as the literature suggests that technology is a form of knowledge. Although these activities are highly interactive, they have different goals. Knowledge has a broad view, is concerned with the "why", the cause and effect while technology is already something straightforward or concerned with how things are done, refers to tools. Based on the 7-S framework we will examine the key role of organizational factors that facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technology between enterprise / university. Data will be collected from companies whose results will show that different types of structures, cultures, patent holdings, licenses affect knowledge and technology transfer activities in different ways.
