Resumen

Como «valle de la muerte» (VM) se denomina a una brecha que dificulta la finalización exitosa de proyectos de investigación, desarrollo e innovación (I+D+i), impidiendo su entrada en fases de desarrollo de nuevos productos, puesta en operación y comercialización. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los factores que inciden en el VM en un grupo de proyectos de I+D+i, de diversas instituciones de educación superior ubicadas en el Valle de Aburrá, Colombia. Dada la complejidad que implica el estudio del VM en el ámbito de los proyectos de I+D+i, se realizó un estudio de casos polares, pues este proporciona información acerca del VM en proyectos específicos, para luego plantear recomendaciones al fenómeno en general. El análisis se realizó desde un enfoque cualitativo, de carácter inductivo y fenomenológico, en el que se estudiaron seis factores involucrados en la formación del VM: equipo humano, competencias y roles, conocimiento de las dimensiones, trabajo en red, financiación y percepción del riesgo, instituciones y modelos mentales. Se evidenció que en los proyectos que aún no han superado el VM se encuentran dificultades institucionales —reglas de juego — y de modelos mentales —representaciones de lo que se debe hacer—, así como debilidad en la construcción de redes de trabajo. En los proyectos que sí superaron el VM predominan como resueltos los factores relacionados con formación de capacidades del talento humano, alianzas y conocimiento de las dimensiones.
