Fatores institucionais, interorganizacionais e financeiros em parques tecnológicos: um estudo sob a ótica da governança colaborativa

Abstract

This study investigates the importance of fundamental elements of collaborative arrangements from the perspective of the actors operating in Brazilian science parks, and assesses whether these collaborative arrangements are found in the parks’ daily practices. Factor analysis identified ten variables considered most relevant, separated into three factors: (i) individual – commitment and motivation among actors; (ii) inter-organizational – interdependence between parties, the participation of all institutions in decision-making, the involvement of various institutions, and trust; and (iii) financial – funding sources and investments. Frequency analysis identified three elements of collaborative governance, although they are not highly prevalent in Brazilian science parks: commitment among actors, participation of all institutions in decision-making, and investment-related issues.
