Abstract

MORALES RUBIANO, MARÍA EUGENIA; PINEDA MARQUEZ, KATHERINE  and  AVILA MARTINEZ, KAROLINA. Innovative organizations based on the interaction with universities: successful cases. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.spe, pp.363-374. ISSN 0123-5923.

The purpose of this article is to present successful strategies and cases of collaboration between local universities and organizations that have led to innovation on different levels thanks to their interaction. To this end, a literature review was conducted of scientific databases that discuss cases of collaborative innovations in countries in the region and other countries, and of information from the websites of ten leading universities according to the worldwide web ranking of universities in 2011. The results show that universities and other stakeholders have engaged in cooperation activities through collaborative research, technological development, and entrepreneurship efforts. This evidently poses challenges for Colombia and other Latin American countries in terms of guiding joint activities that foster innovation.

Keywords : Knowledge transfer; interaction; innovation.
