    Objetivo del estudio: El objetivo del presente estudio fue desarrollar un marco sistémico para comprender la naturaleza y dinámica de los parques tecnológicos en Brasil y analizar algunos determinantes para evaluar su desempeño en proceso de poblar.

    Relevancia/originalidad: Este trabajo es inédito para el análisis de la difusión de parques tecnológicos en Brasil, a lo largo de su historia, y para la aplicación de análisis de datos multivariados para el análisis de desempeño en proceso poblar.

    Methodología/enfoque: Para esto, se realizó una encuesta con los parques tecnológicos, utilizando un instrumento de recolección de datos, desarrollado considerando los factores de éxito de la literatura y validado por múltiples estudios de caso. Tras el análisis descriptivo de los datos, se utilizó el método de análisis de datos multivariante con el objetivo de verificar los determinantes que impactan en la población de los parques.

    Resultados principales: El Análisis de Correspondencia Simple demostró que los dos determinantes que impactan el asentamiento de parques tecnológicos en Brasil son el financiamiento y la madurez, confirmando la tesis de que son emprendimientos de largo plazo.

    Aportaciones teóricas/Metodológicas: Este estudio se caracteriza por ser una combinación cualitativa y cuantitativa de métodos de investigación, definida como exploratoria combinada, realizada en dos fases. En primer lugar, se realiza el abordaje cualitativo, con el objetivo de explorar el tema de investigación a fin de brindar subsidios para la fase cuantitativa.

    Contribuciones sociales/de gestion: Los resultados demuestran la importancia de los parques tecnológicos en Brasil y la necesidad de mantener políticas públicas en el largo plazo, para aumentar el tamaño de los parques, en términos de concentración de nuevas empresas de base tecnológica, y atracción de empresas ancla, generando empleos y ingresos calificados.

    Objective of the study: The aim of this study was to develop a systemic framework to understand the nature and dynamics of technology parks in Brazil and to analyze the mais determinants for evaluating their performance in the settlement process.

    Relevance/originality: This work is unprecedented for the analysis of the dissemination of technology parks in Brazil, throughout its history, and for the application of multivariate data analysis for performance analysis in the settlement (number of tenant companies).

    Methodology/approach: This study is characterized as a qualitative and quantitative combination of research methods, defined as combined exploratory, carried out in two phases. The qualitative approach is carried out first, with the aim of exploring the research topic in order to provide subsidies for the quantitative phase.

    Main results: The Simple Correspondence Analysis demonstrated that the two determinants that impact the settlement of technology parks in Brazil are financing and park´s age, confirming the thesis that they are long-term enterprises.

    Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study is characterized as a qualitative and quantitative combination of research methods, defined as combined exploratory, carried out in two phases. The qualitative approach is carried out first, with the aim of exploring the research topic in order to provide subsidies for the quantitative phase.

    Social/management contributions: The results demonstrate the importance of technology parks in Brazil and the need to maintain public policies in the long term, in order to increase the size of parks, in terms of concentration of new technology-based companies, and attraction of anchor companies, generating jobs and income qualified

    Objetivo do estudo: O objetivo desse estudo foi desenvolver um framework sistêmico para compreender a natureza e dinâmica dos parques tecnológicos no Brasil e analisar os principais determinantes para avaliação de desempenho dos mesmos no processo de povoamento.

    Relevância/Originalidade: Esse trabalho é inédito pela análise da disseminação dos parques tecnológicos no Brasil, ao longo de sua história, e pela aplicação da análise multivariada de dados para análise do desempenho no povoamento, medido pelo número de empresas residentes.

    Metodologia: Foi realizado um survey junto aos parques tecnológicos, utilizando instrumentos de coleta de dados, desenvolvidos a partir dos fatores de sucesso da literatura e validados pela realização de múltiplos estudos de caso. Após a análise descritiva dos dados, foi utilizado o método de análise multivariada dos dados, a fim de verificar os determinantes que impactam no povoamento dos parques.

    Principais resultados: A Análise de Correspondência Simples demonstrou que os dois determinantes que impactam no povoamento dos parques tecnológicos no Brasil são o financiamento e a idade do parque, confirmado a tese de que os parques tecnológicos são empreendimentos de longo prazo.

    Contribuição metodológica: Este estudo caracteriza-se como uma combinação qualitativa e quantitativa de métodos de pesquisa, definida como exploratória combinada, realizada em duas fases. A abordagem qualitativa é realizada primeiramente, com o objetivo de explorar o tema da pesquisa a fim de fornecer subsídios para a fase quantitativa.

    Contribuição social: Os resultados demonstram a importância dos parques tecnológicos no Brasil e a necessidade de manutenção das políticas públicas a longo prazo, a fim de aumentar o tamanho dos parques, em termos de concentração de novas empresas de base tecnológica, e atração de empresas âncoras, gerando emprego e renda qualificados
