The objective of this study is to explore the evolution of academic research concerning virtual teams within university settings, aiming to delineate prominent research trajectories and outline a prospective agenda for future inquiry in this domain. This work involved a systematic review of the literature in the WoS and Scopus databases to identify what, when, who, where and how virtual teams in universities have been researched. The PRISMA method was used to guide the data collection process. Forty-seven articles were identified as relevant for analysis. Despite the significant development of academic research on virtual teams since the end of the last century, the necessary attention has still not been given to the specific case of virtual teams in universities. Most of the research has been conducted in the United States; however, previous research reveals that cultural aspects are relevant variables in the performance and efficiency of virtual teams, so it is advisable to extend this type of research to other countries and cultural contexts. In addition, we can also see that most of the works identified have analysed work teams formed by students, and there are very few studies on virtual teams of researchers, despite the importance of these teams in the context of encouraging the internationalization of research networks. Moreover, the review of the content of the articles as well as the future lines of research have been organized around a life cycle model, considering three categories: inputs, operating process and outputs-results. The second category is the most developed to date.

However, far fewer studies have analyzed the variables that determine whether these university patents are finally licensed to industry and, thus, whether the aforementioned knowledge transfer actually takes place. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to carry out a systematic review of the literature in order to identify the developments in research on the commercialization of university patents internationally during the period 2001-2021. Our analysis of the literature has allowed us to classify the works carried out to date into four groups, depending on the unit of analysis used to examine the commercialization of university patents. The largest group of studies uses data from patent databases; next in quantitative importance are those that use data from academics obtained through surveys or interviews; in third place are studies that use institutional information, generally from the TTO of each university; finally, there are some studies that analyze the process from the point of view of the recipient of the technology, that is, the companies that obtain the patent license.

The research had three main outcomes: the first identified relevant studies on the subject under investigation. The second, more innovative, analysed the main issues related to student participation, involvement/ engagement and commitment as a stakeholder in QA processes. The analysis revealed that students participate in QA processes, both internally and externally, in three distinct dimensions: – Participation: the importance of student participation associated with the teaching and learning process is recognised, emphasising aspects such as feedback, assessment, satisfaction and partnerships. – Involvement: centred on governance and partnerships, with students acting as partners in governance and decision-making processes, in an active and involved participation in QA processes. – Commitment: refers to the deepest level of involvement, where students demonstrate a commitment to QA. The third outcome focused on the results of the three research questions posed, which made it possible to analyse and characterise the selected studies, define a comprehensive framework of student contributions in the field of QA and point out areas requiring further investigation that could guide future research.

Nuestro articulo analiza la importancia de la reduccion del tiempo a la hora de lanzar un producto al mercado. Esta rapidez generadora de ventajas competitivas es conceptualizada como "time to market". El objetivo del articulo es provocar una reflexion acerca de la importancia del tiempo como factor de competitividad, y para ello, hemos efectuado una revision de las ultimas aportaciones realizadas, analizando los ultimos datos relativos a la reduccion de tiempos en el sector del automovil, su situacion actual, asi como su posible evolucion, destacando, a su vez, las principales tecnicas usadas para alcanzar el objetivo de tiempo establecido.

Este entorno turbulento requiere renovar los métodos y técnicas para lanzar al mercado nuevos productos con éxito. Se han realizado numerosos trabajos sobre las técnicas propuestas para mejorar la eficiencia del proceso de desarrollo, sin embargo son escasas las investigaciones empíricas que contrasten la validez de estas técnicas. En este estudio exploratorio trataremos de analizar la relación entre tiempo de desarrollo y éxito en el mercado de los nuevos productos. Nuestros resultados vienen a confirmar los resultados de estudios previos, identificando las principales técnicas propuestas para reducir el tiempo de desarrollo en función de las características del entorno competitivo en el que cada empresa desarrolla su actividad. PALABRAS CLAVE: Tiempo de mercado. Desarrollo acelerado de productos. Factores determinantes del éxito.Técnicas de desarrollo de nuevos productos.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of Facebook by the top 200 international banks. Our paper proposes a new instrument called Facebook Assessment Index (FAI), which uses three categories to evaluate the essential information on a firm's Facebook page: popularity, interactivity, and content. Only 60% of the banks tested had official Facebook page. The results show large differences between them in the three dimensions of FAI and a great improvement opportunity in the use of Facebook as a marketing tool in the sector. These results not only serve to create a ranking of banks, but also can be used by bank manager as a benchmarking analysis of best Facebook pages, suggesting improvements to their current Facebook pages.
