Exploring the entrepreneurial landscape of university-industry collaboration on public university spin-off creation: A systematic literature review.

Research into the factors influencing university-industry collaboration on public university spin-offs creation has focused on management, entrepreneurship, technology and innovation. This research began with a careful systematic literature review of 4427 scientific papers published in the last ten years (2014-2023) and accessible in the prestigious Web of Science core collection. A quantitative methodology was used, complemented by the use of the visual analysis tool Posit PBC™, formerly known as R Cloud Studio. This comprehensive approach facilitated the seamless ingestion of raw data into Biblioshyni, which is a web-based platform specialised in bibliometric analysis. This review has revealed compelling trends, particularly in terms of increasing diversity, the emergence of United Kingdom as a major player, and the central role of university-industry collaboration. Our systematic review identified influential authors in the field, including the prolific contributions of scholars such as D. Radicid, S. Ropers, Y. Li and R. Owen. We also identified important research institutions, such as Utrecht University in Netherlands, Lund University in Sweden and The University of Manchester in the UK. In addition, we have shown that countries such as the United Kingdom, China and USA have made a significant contribution to the volume of publications. The results highlighted a marked increase in the phenomenon of univeristy spin-offs over the past decade, as evidenced by the exponential growth in both publication output and citation rates. This empirical revelation was underpinned by a rigorous exploration of the Web of Science database, using a carefully crafted set of keywords. Thirty-seven pivotal studies were selected for in-depth review through a sophisticated selection process that adhered to the rigorous standards of the PRISMA methodology. The aim of this review is to improve understanding and encourage deeper exploration of spin-off-based public universities through collaboration between academia and industry.

Cambio organizacional e institucional desde las perspectivas teóricas / Organizational and institutional change from theoretical perspectives / Mudança organizacional e institucional a partir de perspectivas teóricas

Resumen Este artículo pretende identificar la relación que existe entre: institucionalismo, cambio y organización, desde una investigación donde primero se abordaron los textos fundacionales de los conceptos indagados, y luego se revisó el estado del arte de artículos incluidos entre otros en SCOPUS y el Web of Science, para presentar el resultado del análisis en forma de tablas y gráficas, abordando para los distintos autores: el foco, la descripción o el aporte. Finalmente, se propone una interacción teórica para el análisis del cambio. El resultado de esta investigación es soporte conceptual para futuras indagaciones. Clasificación JEL: M10.

Abstract This paper aims to identify the relationship between: institutionalism, change and organization, from a research where the fundamental texts of the concepts investigated were first addressed, and then the state of the art of the articles included among others in SCOPUS and the Web of Science was reviewed, to obtain the result of the analysis in the form of tables and graphs, addressing for the different author authors: the focus, the description or the report. Finally a theoretical interaction is proposed for the analysis of change. The result of this investigation is a conceptual support for future inquiries. JEL Classification: M10.

Big data analytics capability and co-innovation: An empirical study.

There are numerous emerging studies addressing big data and its application in different organizational aspects, especially regarding its impact on the business innovation process. This study in particular aims at analyzing the existing relationship between Big Data Analytics Capabilities and Co-innovation. To test the hypothesis model, structural equations by the partial least squares method were used in a sample of 112 Colombian firms. The main findings allow to positively relate Big Data Analytics Capabilities with better and more agile processes of product and service co-creation and with more robust collaboration networks with stakeholders internal and external to the firm.

Capacidad de absorción del rivaly desempeño innovador: efecto mediador de la orientación estratégica / Rival's absorptive capacity and innovation performance: mediating effect of the strategic orientation / Capacidade de absorção do rival e desempenho inovador: Efeito mediador da orientação estratégica

Resumen Introducción. En la literatura hay resultados contradictorios sobre los efectos de la evaluación de la capacidad de absorción del rival (CAR) sobre el desempeño innovador (DI). Tampoco, se ha explorado la incidencia de aspectos estratégicos sobre esa relación. Objetivo. Analizar los efectos mediadores de la orientación estratégica a la competencia (OEC) y a la innovación (OEI) en la relación entre CAR y DI. Materiales y métodos. El modelo de hipótesis se contrastó en una muestra de empresas manufactureras, de media y baja tecnología, y de servicios. Para ello, se utilizaron ecuaciones estructurales por el método de mínimos cuadrados parciales consistente. Resultados. Se encontró que únicamente la OEC tiene un efecto mediador el cual es total. Conclusiones. La principal contribución del artículo gira en torno al aporte de evidencia empírica que demuestra que la evaluación de la CAR tiene un efecto positivo sobre el DI, si bien está mediado por la OEC. Esto es importante porque ayuda a dilucidar la controversia suscitada por los resultados contradictorios que arrojaron estudios previos. Por lo tanto, este hallazgo concuerda con la postura teórica que resalta los beneficios que se derivan del entendimiento de las fortalezas y debilidades de la CAR, y de las presiones que ejercen los rivales sobre su contraparte, que la obligan a ser más innovadora.

Abstract Introduction. In the literature there are contradictory results on the effects of the evaluation of rival's absorptive capacity (RAC) on innovation performance (IP). Moreover, the incidence of strategic aspects in this relationship has not been explored. Objective. Analyze the mediating effects of the strategic orientation towards competition (SOC) and the strategic orientation towards innovation (SOI) on the RAC-IP relationship. Materials and methods. The hypothesis model was contrasted in a sample of medium and low-technology manufacturing firms and a sample of service firms. To achieve this, structural equations were used by the consistent partial least squares method. Results. It was found that only the SOC has a mediating effect, which is a total effect. Conclusions. The main contribution of this paper is the empirical evidence it provides which demonstrates that the evaluation of RAC has a positive effect on IP, although this effect is mediated by SOC. This helps to discern the controversy triggered by contradictory results yielded in previous studies. Therefore, this finding is in agreement with the theoretical stance which highlights the benefits derived from understanding RAC's strengths and weaknesses, and from the pressures exerted by rivals on their counterpart, which force the latter to be more innovative.

Resumo Introdução. Na literatura há resultados contraditórios sobre os efeitos da avaliação da capacidade de absorção do rival (CAR) sobre o desempenho inovador (DI). Tampouco, se há explorado a incidência de aspectos estratégicos sobre essa relação. Objetivo. Analisar os efeitos mediadores da orientação estratégica à concorrência (OEC) e à inovação (OEI) a relação entre CAR e DI. Materiais e métodos. O modelo de hipótese se contrastou numa amostra de empresas manufatureiras, de meia e baixa tecnologia, e de serviços. Para isto, se utilizaram equações estruturais pelo método de mínimos quadrados. Resultados. Se encontrou que unicamente a OEC tem um efeito mediador o qual é total. Conclusões. A principal contribuição do artigo gira em torno ao aporte de evidência empírica que demostra que a avaliação da CAR tem um efeito positivo sobre o DI, se bem que está mediado pela OEC. Este é importante porque ajuda a dilucidar a controversa suscitada pelos resultados contraditórios que mostraram estudos prévios. Por tanto, esta descoberta concorda com a postura teórica que ressalta os benefícios que se derivam do entendimento das fortalezas e debilidades da CAR, e das pressões que exercem os rivais sobre sua contraparte, que a obrigam a ser mais inovadora.
