Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate if funding sources of university-firms interactions influence modes of interactions and motivation in Brazil. To this end, we used a database involving 319 questionnaires answered by those responsible for research and development (R & D) activities and/or by interactions with universities and public research institutes (PRIs) in enterprises located in Brazil, which interacted with research groups of Brazilian universities or PRIs. We analyzed the set of 135 firms that financed with 100% of own resources their interactions with universities/PRIs and 94 firms that financed the interaction with a composition of public and private sources. The results suggest that the funding sources do not influence modes of university-firms interactions, but do in their objectives or motivation.References
