Palabras clave: Spin-off académicas, teoría de acción planificada, teoría de universidad emprendedora, transferencia tecnológica, teoría de visión basada en recursos

Resumen

Este estudio, de carácter descriptivo, analiza los factores clave en la creación de spin-offs académicas, utilizando una perspectiva multiteórica que integra la Teoría de la Universidad Emprendedora, Teoría de la Acción Planificada y la Visión Basada en los Recursos. La metodología de este artículo se fundamenta en un posicionamiento epistemológico racionalista-idealista y se enmarca dentro de un paradigma de investigación interpretativista según Onwuegbuzie y Johnson (2021). Como resultado la Teoría de la Universidad Emprendedora, enfatiza la necesidad de un entorno universitario que promueva la cultura emprendedora y facilite la transferencia de tecnología al mercado. La Teoría de la Acción Planificada, explica la intención emprendedora, influenciada por actitudes, normas sociales y el control percibido, lo que afecta directamente la decisión de los académicos de crear spin-offs académicas. La Visión Basada en los Recursos, se enfoca en la importancia de los recursos internos valiosos, raros, inimitables y no sustituibles, esenciales para la creación de spin-offs. Este enfoque multiteórico permite identificar y evaluar cinco factores cruciales: Intención emprendedora, relaciones universidad-industria, transferencia tecnológica, financiación e incentivos. Se concluye que la adecuada gestión de estos factores, en alineación con las teorías analizadas, puede facilitar la creación de spin-offs académicas, promoviendo el desarrollo económico y social.
