Abstract

Universities have strived to reflect the transformations taking place nowadays by assuming an entrepreneur model for managing the knowledge produced in them. In order to approach the subject, this study sought to compare the opinion of research group leaders from a public Brazilian university with its institutional policy of science and technology and innovation. The adopted method was of an exploratory nature with quantitative variables. The data were collected by means of a structured questionnaire directed to the group leaders. The sample was probabilistic and the data analyzed by means of bivariate (correlation and crossbabs) and multivariate (clusters) statistical techniques. The results showed that despite a certain integration between the positioning of the research group leaders and the objective reflected in the policies for science, technology and innovation, the University still faces a great challenge, which is to transform its potential into practical results. Keywords: Innovation; Technology transfer; Institutional policy; Research group leaders.
