Assessment of motivators to enhance the collaboration between organizations and a Polytechnical Institute

Abstract

The collaboration with the Polytechnic Institute serves as a catalyst for organizational growth and success. By participating in technology demonstrations, designing tailored training activities, accessing funding programs, hosting interns and students, executing experimental actions, and accessing new technologies, facilities, and equipment, organizations benefit from a holistic approach to innovation. This collaboration drives competitiveness and paves the way for the development of innovative solutions, enabling them to thrive in a rapidly evolving business landscape. In this study, a Polytechnic Institute conducted an online survey to evaluate the importance of various factors that motivate organizations to collaborate with them. The survey specifically targeted companies in the vicinity of the institute, aiming to gain insights into different motivators that foster collaboration. The results of the survey provide evidence that the nine motivators under analysis are important to strengthen the interactions between the Polytechnical Institute and the organizations.
