- A framework to foster innovation-driven enterprises creation in the university: the case of the Monterrey region in Mexico.(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-12-01) Téllez Girón Barrera, Alejandro; Güemes Castorena, David; puemcuervo/tolmquevedo; Cortés Capetillo, Azael Jesús; School of Engineering and Sciences; Campus Monterrey; Hincapié Montoya, Edwin MauricioEmerging countries face a series of challenges on their agenda, one of them being the socio-economic development of their region. One well-known way to create a competitive economy is by introducing innovative technologies, products, or services. Entrepreneurship can be classified into small and medium enterprises and innovation-driven enterprises (IDE). Both types of entrepreneurship are required for an economy; however, the second leads to high-quality job creation and economic prosperity. Three main actors can boost IDE's creation by looking at the triple helix model: industry, government, and the university. In this research, the university plays the leading role in promoting the creation of these companies due to a transformation towards the entrepreneurial university where teaching and research are not the sole objectives. Conceiving a new company by transferring technology from an academic institution is known as a university spin-off. Notwithstanding, this practice has not been studied in emerging countries. Therefore, this research focuses on shedding some light on how the entrepreneurial university can foster the creation of these companies. The steps in this process were (i) identifying the significant elements for the creation of university spin-offs with a literature review and a validation of the elements with the Fuzzy Delphi method, (ii) modeling the current process of spin-off creation in two universities in the Monterrey region using the Total Interpretive Structural Modeling tool, (iii) and identifying the current and potentials drivers of the system employing the MICMAC method. Consequently, a framework was obtained outlining seven key points to support university decision-makers in fostering the creation of these companies. The results show ten significant elements for creating university spin-offs. Subsequently, the following recommendations were obtained by analyzing how these elements interacted in two universities in the Monterrey region and identifying their current and future influence on the system. The findings show that focusing on adding the innovation dimension to the entrepreneurial vision of the university and creating specific policies regarding innovation-driven enterprises were the initial aspects that decision-makers should consider. Subsequently, planning a process for accessing profit-seeking capital and engaging the university's applied research capacity was critical. Next, improve the support mechanisms for spin-offs without overlooking the fact that they depend on the previous elements, followed by working to close the gap in the culture regarding the commercialization of technology. Lastly, do not ignore the strategic management, and that regional context can be a support during this process.
- The progression of collaborative technology projects in an innovation ecosystem – The Case of Nuevo León(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-10-24) Nuncio Cuéllar, Everardo; GUEMES CASTORENA, DAVID; 122122; Güemes Castorena, David; puelquio; Aguayo Téllez, Humberto; Escuela de Ingeniería y Ciencias; Campus Monterrey; Cortés Capetillo, AzaelCollaboration between industry and universities, and research centers has proven to be very effective for developing innovations at the regional level. This study determines how much the innovation and technological projects between the industry in Nuevo León and the technology extension services are progressing once they decide to collaborate. This study tries to determine how collaborative technology projects are progressing in Nuevo León; this will determine how they are progressing and measure their effectiveness. For this matter, we asked the companies in the region, through the regional clusters, with whom they collaborate and the results of these collaborations. We sent a questionnaire (link to google documents) asking if they have collaborated with one or more R&D centers, how many times each, and their project´s Technology Readiness Level (TRL) at the beginning of the collaboration and the ending TRL. The questionnaire results showed that 67% of the reported collaboration projects showed some advance, and from that, the ones that showed an advance, 34% (the higher), increased their TRL in 2 levels. The responses for the questionnaire showed that the majority of the collaboration’s progress at least two TRL levels, and there were identified projects in all different stages of the TRL except for level 9, meaning that the region offers the capabilities to take the technological projects to the following TRL levels.
- Planning, Deploying, Monitoring, and Controlling the VAVE program in Trane Monterrey(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-03) Quezada Guajardo, Abraham; GUEMES CASTORENA, DAVID; 122122; Güemes Castorena, David; emipsanchez; Ramírez Valencia, Ricardo; School of Engineering and Sciences; Campus Monterrey; Garza Núñez, DagobertoThis document summarizes and describes the events, plans, and actions that occurred between 2018 and 2021 in Trane’s Monterrey plant to deploy a new process to manage the program for cost reduction of direct material through engineering changes (further referred to as VAVE) of the Compressors Strategic Business Unit (SBU). By improving the Program Management process, this project intends to secure a reliable method of coming up with, developing, implementing, and following up on direct material cost reduction projects and the resource and stakeholder communications management associated with them. I worked with current and new Trane standards and procedures, company-wide lessons learned, best practices, publicly available benchmarks, and literature authored by Subject Matter Experts to redesign this process. To improve the overall process, specific changes were made in communication channels, tools, and cadences, awareness of a need for diligent resource management was raised, the flow of projects from ideation to implementation was laid out, the groundwork for perpetual program planning was set, training for a project management able group was planned, and the framework for efficiency and effectivity improvement for the program was agreed upon. The output of this project was recorded on Trane standard documents that will serve as a guideline for both project and program management in the future. This project's outcome was approved and accepted by Trane’s stakeholders and, if necessary, will continue evolving and adapting to new conditions and demands.
