Abstract

University spin-offs are considered as an important mechanism for technology transfer, which allows creating value from the knowledge generated in universities, encouraging quality research and cooperation of universities with different actors. This article establishes a typology of methods for the stakeholder analysis based on a categorization of existing methods in the literature, as a tool that contributes to the formulation of strategies for the management of actors involved in the creation of university Spin-offs. For the development of the research, multiple models that exist in the scientific literature were collected and codified, later these methods are crossed with the spin-offs creation phases, taking into account the key activities that entrepreneurs must perform to overcome each one of the critical junctures presented, and to manage the actors to anticipate the opportunities and problems during the Spin-off creation.
