VEGA-GONZALEZ, L.R.. Seven Myths of the University Applied Research and Technology Development. Ing. invest. y tecnol. [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.3, pp.243-256. ISSN 2594-0732.
From a series of technology development project experiences at the Centro de Ciencias Aplicadas y Desarrollo Tecnológico, CCADET, part of the research subsystem of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM, in this paper a series of myths circulating among the academic people about technology development and applied research (R&D) are presented. The methodology begins with the presentation of the empiric experiences to describe different myth situations. These situations are later analyzed based on different focuses existing in technology the management present literature. This contrast permits to establish a partial conclusion for each one of the myths, all of them integrated at the end of the document. In the discussion, it is concluded that if in the public Mexican universities case and possibly in the Latin-American case, learning to develop technology is difficult; it is more, to focus in the right technology and commercialize it. The processes required for R&D in the academic media, give birth to myths related with our cultural context that it is required to demystify.
