Abstract:
The study aims to build a comprehensive framework to identify and clarify strategic options and provide organizational development guidelines for establishing multidisciplinary research centers within universities. The work adopts a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses not only technological aspects but also considers the educational system, economic factors, socio-organizational dynamics, and legal issues. The strategic analysis carried out in this paper is composed of a suite of methods and tools that can be used in various combinations to help in choosing the optimal strategic activities. MICMAC is a method intended for the structural analysis of the system, essentially consisting of a group of variables that are related to each other and which determines which of them have influence in the evolution of the system. The MACTOR method analyses the effects of structural variables on strategies, providing a global vision of the expected results. The goal of developing multidisciplinary research centers in universities extends beyond acquiring by students with new competencies. These centers are also intended to serve as interdisciplinary innovation hubs for companies seeking to create new products. multidisciplinary research.
