Considerando essa fragilidade, este estudo objetivou identificar e analisar pesquisas recentes publicadas no Brasil sobre o tema, buscando contribuir para a consolidacao desse corpo teorico. O trabalho, de cunho exploratorio, revisou as pesquisas publicadas em periodicos nacionais entre 2005 e 2009, sob uma abordagem qualitativa. Os objetivos, metodos e principais resultados desses estudos foram sintetizados e discutidos. A analise coletiva desses trabalhos sugere que a cooperacao universidade-empresa (U-E) gera inovacoes, aprendizados e beneficios mutuos. Esta aponta ainda existir muito espaco para ampliar a transferencia de tecnologia U-E. O estudo identificou os metodos usados nas pesquisas; motivadores, facilitadores e obstaculos ao processo; elementos das estruturas universitarias, bem como politicas das IES e do governo intervenientes no processo; caracteristicas de empresas geradas a partir de spillovers academicos; o papel social exercido pelas IES; diferentes formas de TT na interacao U-E; lacunas de pesquisas e sugestoes para a realizacao de estudos futuros.

Transformative Learning: Integrating Critical Reflection Into Management Education

Due to the growing learning demands requested of managers in the workplace and to the importance of their role for organizations and society, the need for broadening management education perspectives is suggested. The article reviews Brazilian studies published on management learning, which highlights the importance of reflection and critical reflection in learning processes, albeit the latter, crucial for work, citizenship and moral decision making is still less evident in the fields of management learning and management education. Thus, the purpose of this article is to argue that transformative learning theory, which stimulates critical reflection that favors autonomous thinking and liberates conditioned assumptions about the world, others and oneself, may contribute to management education development, encouraging more collaborative, responsible, and ethical ways to manage organizations.

Aprendizagem transformadora: a reflexão crítica na formação gerencial

Due to the growing learning requests demanded of managers in the actual context and the importance of their role for organizations and society, the need for broadening management education perspectives is suggested. Business education have been criticized either by scholars that point out the reflection importance as by those that emphasize the critical reflection role for management learning. The article presents Brazilian studies developed in the management learning field which corroborate the reflection and the critical reflection importance in learning processes, although the last one is still least evident in business or in management education. It is proposed that transformative learning theory might contribute to management learning, stimulating critical reflection that favors autonomous thinking and liberates conditioned assumptions about the world, about others and themselves, crucial for work, citizenship and for moral decision making.

What Motivates Brazilian Academic Researchers to Transfer Technology

This study investigated what motivates Brazilian academic researchers to get involved in University-Industry Technology Transfer (UITT) and deterrents to contributing to this process. The research relied on interviews with experienced academic scientists and managers from four universities in Brazil. Determination, persistence and entrepreneurship, related to motivational types Self-direction and Stimulation, were prominent. Hedonism, Achievement and Power - highlighting a shift in their professional identity - were also observed. Universalism type involved opening career opportunities, awakening and maintaining the interest of students. The major motivational goals were: generate resources, solve problems, professional challenge, personal gains, personal gratification, academic prestige, competition, and solving problems of society. Factors that discouraged researchers were: time required for UITT, lack of incentive, innovation environment, and fear of contravening university rules, among others. Knowledge of motivational profiles of academic scientists favors the development of incentive policies and programs for UITT, helping to attract and retain qualified researchers at Brazilian universities.
