Resumen
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las estrategias de promoción de la creación de spin-offs universitarias que han desarrollado las universidades andaluzas, para lo cual se comparan con las descritas en la bibliografía existente. Además, se analiza la evolución posterior de las empresas creadas a partir de las estrategias de incubación implantadas por las universidades, así como su relación con dichas estrategias. Para llevar a cabo este objetivo, se utiliza una base de datos procedente de un cuestionario realizado en las nueve universidades públicas que llevan a cabo estrategias de promoción de la creación de spin-offs universitarias. Como resultado, se obtiene que las estrategias desarrolladas por las universidades andaluzas difieren de los modelos analizados en la literatura. Principalmente se observa la existencia de una nueva etapa en las estrategias de promoción de la creación de spin-offs, que se considera que constituye una fase pre-estratégica de las mismas. Del igual modo, se observan ciertos factores del entorno que se pueden asociar con los casos de spin-offs más exitosos. Así, se considera que las universidades deben valorar la disponibilidad de recursos de la que disponen antes de desarrollar una estrategia de incubación de empresas, especialmente la disponibilidad de un parque científico y tecnológico.
