Abstract in Portuguese
Esta pesquisa demonstrou ser possível aplicar a teoria de agência às relações entre participantes de cooperações entre universidades e empresas para desenvolvimento tecnológico de seus produtos e/ou processos. O estudo baseou-se na premissa de que a existência de separação entre a propriedade e o controle do capital em cooperações tecnológicas universidade-empresa conduziria à presença de variáveis que representariam a possibilidade de surgimento de conflitos de interesses entre os participantes. Desse modo, seria possível a aplicação de conceitos desenvolvidos pela teoria de agência para o aperfeiçoamento desses arranjos de pesquisa cooperativa. Assim, foi realizada uma pesquisa documental, baseada em levantamento de dados primários constituídos de contrato firmados entre as instituições participantes de cooperações tecnológicas universidade-empresa. A análise desses dados permitiu identificar cláusulas contratuais que demonstraram a existência de variáveis pertencentes à teoria de agência, ou seja, técnicas de monitoramento e controle, existência de interesses divergentes, controle sobre resultados não pecuniários e fontes de assimetria informacional, revelando assim, características da teoria que poderiam ser observadas nas cooperações. Desse modo, relevantes contribuições puderam ser elaboradas para o aperfeiçoamento desse processos de cooperação tecnológica.

Abstract in English
This Ph. D. research work has demonstrated that is possible to apply the agency theory to relations among participants of cooperations between universities and companies for technological development of products and/or processes. The study was based on the premise that if there was a separation between capital property and control in cooperative research works between universities and companies it could occur interest conflicts among participants; therefore it would be possible to improve these processes by applying the concepts developed by the agency theory. Hence, it was accomplished a documental research, based on primary data gathered from established contracts between university–company technological cooperations. The analysis of these data allowed to identify contractual clauses that demonstrated the belonging variables existence to the agency theory, i.e., monitor and control techniques, divergent interests existence, no-pecuniary results controls and asymmetric information sources, showing theory characteristics that could be observed in technological cooperation processes, giving them a relevant contribution.
