Resumo: | The university-industry (U-I) collaboration is an essential factor for industrial innovation. The investigation of UIC outcomes from the firms’ perspective has attracted scholars’ attention in the last few years. Firms that collaborate with universities may benefit from access to valuable resources, such as access to state-of-art scientific knowledge and human resources, patents, new methods, and university infrastructure and technical equipment. In turn, access to resources is vital for building innovation capability, which is essential for innovation performance. However, the studies that analyzed the benefits of U-I collaboration for the firms underexplored the capabilities issue. Hence, the following research question is proposed: which are the most benefic universities’ resources and U-I collaboration channels to the innovation capability and performance of manufacturing firms? In 2021, the researcher applied a survey with 176 Brazilian industrial firms that collaborated with universities. To measure firms’ innovation capability, it was used Zawislak’s (2012) model. This model splits innovation capability into four capabilities: management, transactions, operations, and development. The data was analyzed through the structural equation modeling (SEM) and multiple regression techniques. The results showed that the use of universities’ resources for product and process innovation based on knowledge infrastructure is more benefic for firms’ innovation capability and performances than applied science. Specifically, the use of research results, laboratories and physical infrastructure, new designs and instruments and equipment are the most benefic resource types for innovation capability. In turn, the use of U-I collaboration channels based on knowledge transfer to conduct firms’ innovation activities is more benefic for innovation capability and performance than innovation networks. Specifically, technology licensing, publications and reports, and training, are among the most benefic U-I collaboration channels for improving firms’ innovation capability. The contributions of the present dissertation are two-fold. First, the present study contributes to the literature by analyzing the impact of U-I collaboration on firm innovation capability and performance within a holistic approach. In this sense, it combines the measuring of the influence of the use of different universities’ resources and U-I collaboration channels on the firms. 2 Second, the study contributes to the literature by suggesting options for improving firms’ innovation capability. |

A investigação dos resultados da UIC sob a perspectiva das empresas tem atraído a atenção de estudiosos nos últimos anos. As empresas que colaboram com universidades podem se beneficiar do acesso a recursos valiosos, como acesso a conhecimento científico e recursos humanos de ponta, patentes, novos métodos e infraestrutura universitária e equipamentos técnicos. Por sua vez, o acesso aos recursos é vital para a construção da capacidade de inovação, que é essencial para o desempenho da inovação. No entanto, os estudos que analisaram os benefícios da colaboração U-I para as empresas pouco exploraram a questão das capacidades. Assim, a seguinte questão de pesquisa é proposta: quais são os recursos das universidades e os canais de interação U-E mais benéficos para a capacidade de inovação e desempenho inovativo das empresas industriais? Em 2021, foi aplicada survey com 176 empresas industriais brasileiras que colaboraram com universidades. Para medir a capacidade de inovação das empresas, foi utilizado o modelo de Zawislak (2012). Esse modelo divide a capacidade de inovação em quatro capacidades: gestão, transação, operação e desenvolvimento. Os dados foram analisados por meio das técnicas de modelagem de equações estruturais (SEM) e regressão múltipla. Os resultados mostraram que o uso de recursos das universidades para inovação de produtos e processos baseados na infraestrutura de conhecimento é mais benéfico para a capacidade de inovação e desempenho das empresas do que a ciência aplicada. Especificamente, o uso de resultados de pesquisa, laboratórios e infraestrutura física, novos designs e instrumentos e equipamentos são os tipos de recursos mais benéficos para a capacidade de inovação. Por sua vez, o uso de canais de interação U-E baseados na transferência de conhecimento para conduzir as atividades de inovação das empresas é mais benéfico para a capacidade e desempenho de inovação do que as redes de inovação. Especificamente, tecnologia licenciada, publicações e relatórios e treinamentos estão entre os canais de interação U-E mais benéficos para melhorar a capacidade de inovação das empresas. A presente tese apresenta duas contribuições teóricas. Em primeiro lugar, o presente estudo contribui para a literatura analisando o impacto da interação U-E na capacidade e desempenho de inovação da empresa dentro de uma abordagem holística. Nesse sentido, combina a mensuração da influência do uso de 4 recursos de diferentes universidades e canais de interação U-E sobre as empresas. Em segundo lugar, o estudo contribui para a literatura ao sugerir opções para melhorar a capacidade de inovação das empresas.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorMikhailov, Andreihttp://lattes.cnpq.br/2037511907586866http://lattes.cnpq.br/6932170700672349Ruffoni, JanainaUniversidade do Vale do Rio dos SinosPrograma de Pós-Graduação em AdministraçãoUnisinosBrasilEscola de Gestão e NegóciosUniversity-industry collaboration, innovation capability and firm performance in Brazil : the role of resources and channelsACCNPQ::Ciências Sociais Aplicadas::AdministraçãoInovaçãoInteração Universidade-empresaCapacidade de inovaçãoBrasilInnovationUniversity-industry collaborationInnovation capabilityEmerging countryBrazilinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesishttp://www.repositorio.jesuita.org.br/handle/UNISINOS/12559info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessporreponame:Repositório Institucional da UNISINOS (RBDU Repositório Digital da Biblioteca da Unisinos)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:UNISINOSLICENSElicense.txtlicense.txttext/plain; charset=utf-82175http://repositorio.jesuita.org.br/bitstream/UNISINOS/12559/2/license.txt320e21f23402402ac4988605e1edd177MD52ORIGINALAndrei Mikhailov_.pdfAndrei Mikhailov_.pdfapplication/pdf1278705http://repositorio.jesuita.org.br/bitstream/UNISINOS/12559/1/Andrei+Mikhailov_.pdfda5b6e3d7d160d87440c9dac67d10b80MD51UNISINOS/125592023-07-21 09:44:58.433oai:www.repositorio.jesuita.org.br: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 Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttp://www.repositorio.jesuita.org.br/oai/requestopendoar:2023-07-21T12:44:58Repositório Institucional da UNISINOS (RBDU Repositório Digital da Biblioteca da Unisinos) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false |

The university-industry (U-I) collaboration is an essential factor for industrial innovation. The investigation of UIC outcomes from the firms’ perspective has attracted scholars’ attention in the last few years. Firms that collaborate with universities may benefit from access to valuable resources, such as access to state-of-art scientific knowledge and human resources, patents, new methods, and university infrastructure and technical equipment. In turn, access to resources is vital for building innovation capability, which is essential for innovation performance. However, the studies that analyzed the benefits of U-I collaboration for the firms underexplored the capabilities issue. Hence, the following research question is proposed: which are the most benefic universities’ resources and U-I collaboration channels to the innovation capability and performance of manufacturing firms? In 2021, the researcher applied a survey with 176 Brazilian industrial firms that collaborated with universities. To measure firms’ innovation capability, it was used Zawislak’s (2012) model.
