Peer Reviewed Journal via three different mandatory reviewing processes, since 2006, and, from September 2020, a fourth mandatory peer-editing has been added.
In this paper we focused on developing a methodology to
promote innovation through industry-university collaboration.
So we analyzed two different scenarios. On one hand we have
the traditional firm, that is striving to survive in the global
knowledge-driven economic framework and on the other we
have world class research universities that are trying to find the
best way to put their knowledge in the market place, fostering
spin-offs as well as promoting knowledge transfer to the
traditional industry. We have analyzed the behavior of
successful high-technology spin-offs, and knowledge transfer
experiences worldwide. In particular, we have focused on the
management paradigm of the “knowledge creating company”,
proposed by Nonaka [11], since it is one of the models that best
describes the organizational environment in such successful
experiences. Finally, we present the methodology developed as
a result of this study that is currently being applied in our State
University
