| description | The aim of this study was to analyze how private agribusinesses in Costa Rica perceive public agricultural research organizations and universities. Empirical data indicated that private companies had reservations about collaborating with public research organizations, mainly because public organizations lack relevant research and development (R&D), and there were concerns about the confidentiality of results. If public research organizations are to form effective partnerships with private companies with regard to technological innovation, they must be more proactive in providing service and show that they are capable of responding to companies' demands, with relevant results in a timely manner, under agreed ownership arrangements. However, forming such partnerships should not become an overriding aim: public research organizations should only consider collaborating with, and rendering services to, private institutions when to do so is compatible with the public interest. |
