A Governance Model for Science and Technology Parks

The Science and Technology Parks (STP), with its recognized ability to stimulate the development and wealth creation in the Knowledge Society, is a phenomenon widely studied in the past six decades. The research that led to this article unifies two fundamental issues. Designed the concept of Corporate Governance (CG) on the organizational structure of a Technology Park in Brazil, within the domain of science, technology and innovation (ST&I),characterizing it as a STP. Likewise, sought to define CG in this context in order to support the proposition of a Governance Model for STP in Brazil. This model was submitted to the verification check on a sample consisting of a reference company and three recognized Brazilian STPs. The results provide an innovative framework that allows the effective incorporation of best practice governance processes of STPs.
