- 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.
- Modelo prospectiva tecnológica para la identificación de oportunidades de negocio de base tecnológica(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2010-12-01) Romero Rivera, Marlon Geovanny; ROMERO RIVERA, MARLON GEOVANNY; 334568; Güemes Castorena, David; Villarreal González, Armando; Smith Cornejo, Neale Ricardo; Zamora Mute, Cristián; Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey; Smith Cornejo, Neale RicardoSi las empresas trabajasen con recursos asignados por su evaluación y planeación del futuro, es probable que la mayoría de ellas se mantengan como altamente eficientes y exitosas. Las empresas deben entender el futuro de su entorno de negocios para lograr mantenerse como competitivas y así obtener ventajas que garanticen su sustentabilidad. La planeación de la tecnología tiene como objetivo final obtener un portafolio de oportunidades o cartera de proyectos, pero es importante saber que la planeación sirve para tomar decisiones, y la prospectiva es una forma efectiva de facilitar este trabajo. La prospectiva tecnológica es una herramienta de planeación de la tecnología que permite construir probabilidades de ocurrencia e influencias para alcanzar un futuro deseable y plantear futuros posibles con base tecnológica desde un punto de vista de viabilidad. Sin embargo se considera que aún existen muchos problemas con la aplicación de la prospectiva, ya que carece de un fundamento metodológico sólido, una amplia aceptación, continuidad, tiene un bajo nivel de difusión de resultados y una pobre integración de todas sus actividades. Por esta razón, se desarrolla el presente trabajo de investigación que describe una metodología de prospectiva tecnológica, con el objetivo de lograr una mejor aplicación y superar los problemas indicados. La metodología permite identificar oportunidades de negocio de base tecnológica que generen un desarrollo productivo y económico, y que además generen una visión de potencialidad en eficiencia y sustentabilidad. Con el Modelo de Prospectiva Tecnológica para la Identificación de Oportunidades de Negocio de base Tecnológica se pretende proveer de una herramienta de apoyo a los administradores de una empresa y a emprendedores en general, para realizar una toma de decisiones que encamine el futuro de su negocio. El modelo contiene varias herramientas de planeación de tecnología enlazadas dentro de una secuencia sistemática que facilitará el trabajo de identificación de oportunidades de negocio. Como parte inicial del trabajo de investigación se proponen dos grandes estudios: análisis de tendencias e identificación de los factores de cambio. A través de éstos estudios se podrá conocer con exactitud cuáles son las tendencias que se presentan en las áreas en las que la empresa desee innovar y cuáles son esos factores que inciden en la evolución de las actividades de desarrollo de los negocios. Al recaudar toda la información, se llevará a cabo un proceso Delphi con ayuda de expertos para encontrar el común denominador de hacia dónde van las tendencias en el futuro, y así poder construir hipótesis y eventos de oportunidades de negocio. Simultáneamente se realizará un diagnóstico del área de estudio, empresa u organización aplicando los métodos de árbol de competencias (FODA), análisis estructural y análisis de actores. A través de la generación de escenarios probabilizados se identificará aquel que muestre las oportunidades de negocio, de desarrollo e innovación. Sobre éstas oportunidades se aplicará un análisis estratégico de toma de decisiones (ANP – Analytic Network Process) que permita priorizar los proyectos u oportunidades que puedan ser ejecutables por una compañía. Finalmente, después que se establezca el portafolio de proyectos en oportunidades de negocio es conveniente aplicar un mapeo tecnológico (TRM - Technology Roadmap) para marcar el camino que permita alcanzar la oportunidad de negocio más confiable y rentable.
- Metodología de prospectación estratégica para la identificación de tendencias tecnológicas y oportunidades de negocio(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2010-05-01) Amezcua Martínez, Juan Luis; Güemes Castorena, David; Rodríguez González, Ciro Ángel; Loera Hernández, Imelda de Jesús; López Lira Arjona, Alfonso; Programa de Graduados de la División de Ingeniería; Campus MonterreyEl objetivo de esta investigación es sintetizar un modelo, basado en los métodos previamente desarrollados, usando la lógica de los sistemas de control de manera que sirva como referencia para la planeación sistemática y prospectiva estratégica en la identificación de tendencias tecnológicas y oportunidades de negocio. Este modelo servirá como sistema de apoyo para la toma de decisiones con un exhaustivo análisis ambiental, permitiendo una detección temprana de dichas tendencias. Metodologías tales como la retroproyección (Backcasting) y visión estratégica, establecen el objetivo de lo que será prospectado. En una segunda etapa, se definen los recursos y las capacidades usando herramientas como el Escaneo y Monitoreo Ambiental (Enviromental Scanning & Monitoring), Visión Estratégica Principal, el FODA, entre otros. La tercera etapa definirá la dirección basada en la información previa. Así se forma el primer lazo de control, sirviendo como una retroalimentación rápida, de manera que permite adaptarse al ambiente cambiante: A cuarta fase sirve para definir, medir los planes de acción para alcanzar las metas; esta etapa retroalimente para mantener el sistema actualizado sobre el progreso y las mediciones de las acciones tomadas. Este modelo busca responder las preguntas básicas de la prospectación estratégica: qué se desea alcanzar, donde están las tecnologías necesarias, qué dirección deberá ser tomada de acuerdo con el ambiente actual y cómo llegar ahí.
- The use of the analytic network process to predict the replacement of the gasoline engine(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2009-12-01) Niño Rodríguez, Javier Eduardo; Niño Rodríguez, Javier Eduardo; 256855; Güemes Castorena, David; Smith Cornejo, Neale Ricardo; León Rovira, Noel; Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey; Smith Cornejo, Neale RicardoThe opinion of a single person in decision making can become insufficient when analyzing complex problems, especially those whose solutions can affect many others. Due to the above a discussion and interchange between the actors involved, which by their experience and knowledge can help to structure the problem and evaluate possible solutions, should be facilitate. The conflict arises when the decisions taken have not sustentation and the resolution is subject to the subjectivity and creativity of those involved, which can lead to inappropriate ways to ignore certain aspects of the problematic situation among other unwanted scenarios in the process of group decision making. Another important aspect to consider is foresight (a future vision), as it has gained importance in recent years. Nowadays it is common to find the appearance of foresight studies on topics such as technology, conflict resolution, regional development, or national and international economic dynamics. In the process of group decision making, generally we use qualitative interventions (methods that give meaning to events and perceptions). And what is sought for study and analysis of this thesis is the use of the Analytic Network Process (ANP), a technique that use qualitative pair wise with quantitative methods (measured variables and methods that apply analysis using or generating reliable and valid). This in a foresight environment that will allow decisions to have sustentation based on mathematics and in this way to reduce subjectivity. The purpose of this research is to make a prediction of which technology is going to replace the gasoline engine in the next 20 years. I will show a self-made model and use it following the ANP rules to reach my goal that is to state the technology and the time in which the replacement is going to take place.
