Abstract

The overall objective of this dissertation is to analyze comparatively the constituent elements of organizational policies for science, technology and innovation (STI) and the management of intangible assets in technical and scientific institutions (TSIs). The specific objectives are: 1) identify and analyze comparatively the constituent elements of organizational policies of STI of TSIs; 2) identify and analyze comparatively the methods used in the valuation of patents by TSI and their respective indicators; 3) check whether the patent valuation methods employed by technology transfer offices (TTOs) of TSIs, with the advent of the innovation law, are adherents to the methods suggested by current literature; 4) check which are the indicators used in the valuation of patents implemented in TSIs; and 5) elaborate the comparative analysis. With regard to the methodology, this research can be classified as exploratory, qualitative and quantitative literature, documentary, and case studies. The findings indicate that the TTOs have different configurations adapted to your needs and tasks. The concern with empowerment is unanimous in all TSIs visited. Are used extra budgetary and budgetary resources from funding agencies and foundations to support research and technology-based incubators and spin off technology considered possible input ports of venture capitalists. Institutional relations are maintained with academic environments, government agencies, business, and civil society in general. Decision-making processes are shared and decentralized, permeated by the autonomy of the researcher. There is a tendency that this process suffer changes due to the creation of knowledge management committees. Actions of social and environmental impact are arising from activities carried out by the institution, but not necessarily geared to that end. There is the zeal on the part of TSIs visited with the dissemination of knowledge and to this end are employed the following instruments: the institution's page on the internet, newsletters and journals. There was the possibility of increased institutional participation in awards, since these are, in general, from the initiative of the researchers. Actions have been undertaken by the TSIs visited to improve contract management, project management and process mapping. In terms of opportunities, the TSIs studied trends to obtain new sources of financing, improving the training of their staff and the modernization of its parks. There are no patent valuation methodologies and those institutional repositories have not been employed as recipe-generating sources. However, the valuation of the portfolio of patents and the follow-up of technological protection costs are duly recognized by the STI, as contributing to the better qualification of institutional acquits. This study presents limitations as regards the subjective evaluation of the respondents, associated to the fact questionnaire replies contain nuances characteristics of interpretation and understanding of each respondent regarding inquiries conducted. That way, the search result belongs to the five cases studied, being impossible to generalization.
