The importance of University-Industry-Government linkage in Mexico

  • Evelio Gerónimo Bautista Universidad de Guadalajara

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the importance of linking University-Industry-Government from the point of view of the National Development Plan (PND) 2013-2018, and two relevant approaches; the first is the importance of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) linking with the productive sector, supported by the Government, and the second, the importance of science, technology and innovation. The methodology used for this study is qualitative as part of an alternative and simplified model, based in theoretical and empirical references applied mainly in developed countries. The perception of this analysis is the lack in Mexico of a strong bonding because of the apparent divorce between the HEIs and the product sector -both pursue different goals and maintain heterogeneous languages-, and the lack of correspondence between the school calendar and cycles of activities carried out in companies.
