Transferência tecnológica sob as perspectivas das capacidades dinâmicas: um estudo exploratório no núcleo de inovação tecnológica da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande.

Abstract

Given the relevance of the technology transfer process for society, it is understood that excellence in its performance is necessary. To this end, Universities are protagonists in the innovation development process, through their Technological Innovation Centers (NITs). Considering the representativeness of the NITs and that their performance as a dynamic capacity is little explored in the literature, the research aims to analyze which are the most appropriate forms of action so that the Technological Innovation Centers (NIT) of the Universities can contribute to the efficiency of the its Technology Transfer (T.T) processes as a Dynamic Capability (DC). In the theoretical framework, in addition to presenting the concepts of some seminal authors, we sought to bring new contributions to the study, taking as a theoretical basis the technological transfer framework as a dynamic capability developed by Fernandes (2016) The research characterizes qualitative, through a case study, having as locus the NIT of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG). The subjects participating in the study were members of the NITT. For these actors, semi-structured interviews were carried out, where the data were analyzed using the content analysis technique, with the support of the NVivo software for transcription of the collected information. Finally, the results obtained indicate that the UFCG's NIT carries out the technology transfer process considering both aspects of its external and internal environment, with greater emphasis on the second and more directed to the registration of patents and that, for such a process, it would be more effective, it would be necessary to focus on variables of the external environment, in particular, regarding a greater interaction with the demands of productive sectors.
