Mapeamento das principais atividades e práticas de gestão dos Technologycal Transfer Offices - TTOs: uma revisão sistemática da literatura
Mapping the main activities and management practices of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs): a systematic literature review
Keywords:
Inovação, Technologycal Tranfer Offices, Modelo de gestão, Estrutura, Obstáculos.Abstract
Os escritórios de transferência de tecnologia (Technologycal Transfer Offices – TTOs) exercem um papel central tanto nos ecossistemas de inovação, quanto na hélice tríplice, pois possuem como atividade central a administração da propriedade intelectual desenvolvida nas universidades. Nesse sentido, surge a necessidade da compreensão das estruturas e dos modelos de gestão dos escritórios de transferência de tecnologia que possuem excelência em performance. Neste contexto, o presente estudo tem como objetivo geral identificar as principais atividades e práticas de gestão que contribuem para uma boa performance dos TTOs. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura que teve como fonte as bases de dados Web Of Science e Scopus. Os resultados apontam que os fatores que impactam no desempenho dos TTOs são amplos, sendo complexo estabelecer um conjunto de atividades e práticas que se encaixem nas diferentes instituições. Nesse sentido, alguns modelos de gestão são apresentados e tem como objetivo direcionar as instituições para que estas façam os ajustes inerentes à sua realidade e às suas necessidades.
