Title: Elements influencing knowledge management in university–business–government collaboration: Case studies in National Institutes of Science and Technology
Abstract: The aim of this article is to investigate how certain characteristics of university–business–government collaborations facilitate creating and managing knowledge and, consequently, innovation, focusing on the particularities of the scenario in Brazil. This topic was chosen as there are few studies that comprehensively identify and analyze the main aspects of this type of collaboration. As conceptual basis, there are correlations between knowledge management and Triple Helix theories, the latter being the principal model referring to university–business–government cooperation. The research was conducted using multiple case studies at three National Institutes of Science and Technology in the health area. The principle findings show the importance of university–business–government collaboration as it enables, as in the case of participating in a National Institutes of Science and Technology program, the creation of an organization structure lead by a coordinator who directs the flow of knowledge between member organizations, stimulating innovation.
