Modelling The Process Of Valorization Of University Research

Abstract

In an economy where competition has become the most difficult, it is imperative for the firm to gain a competitive advantage that is now based on knowledge and innovation (Porter, 2000). Such an approach requires collaboration between different actors involved in innovation ecosystems, including research and industry. This is done through mechanisms developed in industrialized countries with proven effectiveness and less effective in developing countries. This raises the issue of the influence of factors related to the context of collaborations on the effectiveness of these mechanisms. In order to understand the influence of contextual factors on the effectiveness of these mechanisms, this comparative study is conducted in an industrialized country (Canada) and another developing country (Algeria). The results of the study show that for each mechanism, there are factors that determine its effectiveness. These factors are respected in the Canadian case and absent in the Algerian case. Inspired by the Canadian case, developing countries such as Algeria must draw up a global innovation policy that defines the framework for collaboration between the various actors and takes into account the factors determining the effectiveness of the mechanisms.
