Abstract

The aim of the current study is to search for the elements that determine the companies’ demand for technological services, and by doing so, to contribute to the advancement of a closer University-Company partnership in the sphere of activities in research, development and innovation. Based on the PLS-SEM methodology, an explanatory-predictive model was drawn up, which concluded that the four most influential variables are: the influence of the environment, market conditions, the technology adoption decision and the economic characteristics of the company. The originality and main contributions of this work lie in the construction and design of the proposed model, particularly the application of both the Confirmatory Tetrad Analysis and the Global Goodness-of-Fit measures adapted for the scope of PLS-SEM, both aiming to elaborate on its use and to provide a model that could be used by other researchers in different regions. By implementing this type of analysis, it is possible to better understand the drivers that push the choice of enterprises concerning the demand for technological services and, subsequently, policymakers, academy, and R&D agencies, as well as corporations leading to better strategies for closer and stronger cooperation and collaboration among themselves.

请查看技术服务和研发创新活动的业务需求模型

本研究的目的是寻找决定公司对技术服务需求的因素，并通过这样做，促进在研究、开发和创新活动领域建立更紧密的大学-公司伙伴关系。基于PLS-SEM方法，建立了一个解释-预测模型，该模型得出了四个最具影响力的变量:环境的影响，市场条件，技术采用决策和公司的经济特征。这项工作的独创性和主要贡献在于所提出的模型的构建和设计，特别是对验证性四分体分析和适用于PLS-SEM范围的全球拟合优度测量的应用，两者都旨在详细说明其使用并提供一个可供不同地区的其他研究人员使用的模型。通过实施这种类型的分析，可以更好地理解推动企业对技术服务需求做出选择的驱动因素，进而推动政策制定者、学术界和研发机构以及企业制定更好的战略，以实现更紧密、更有力的合作与协作。
