ALPIZAR TERRERO, María Ángeles; LEON ROBAINA, Rosario y DENTCHEV, Nikolay. Market Barriers to Results Generated by the University-Business Sector Relation in Cuba. Rev retos [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.2, pp. 111-132. ISSN 2306-9155.
The alliance between universities and companies in Cuba is critical for sales and technology transfer to the business sector, two pillars of research and development projects. Accordingly, the economic, cultural, institutional, and legal barriers affecting these binding processes were evaluated. These impediments continue despite higher education in Cuba has made functional changes to the associated entities, and has updated its social purpose. This study was based on a theoretical and contextual analysis of higher education development in Cuba. Some of the elements that have remarkably delayed innovation include economic and cultural obstacles, little knowledge of research policies, technology and innovation, and inertia and resistance to change on the part of executives, leading to contradictions between the two sectors. Laws and regulations that enable science and innovation in the universities are required to materialize research solutions in the companies.
