Abstract: 
En este artículo, se analizan los factores asociados al éxito competitivo de las Spin-off académicas de las universidades públicas costarricense, se realizó una investigación cuantitativa en 44 Spin-off académicas identificadas. Los datos se analizaron mediante las técnicas estadísticas univariante, multivariante, y regresión logística. Los resultados muestran que las empresas fundadas por emprendedores académicos con un perfil académicamente competitivo dentro de la universidad y con altas motivaciones personales para emprender, así como, las empresas que ponen en práctica tanto factores asociados a la innovación y a la formación; como, factores asociados a la cultura intraemprendedora, se asocian al éxito competitivo. El análisis multivariante arrojó que las empresas fundadas por emprendedores con el deseo de poner en práctica el conocimiento técnico adquirido, que buscan trabajar por cuenta propia y las empresas que ponen en práctica favorecer que los empleados corran riesgos a favor de la empresa, aunque a veces se equivoquen, tienen mayor probabilidad de tener éxito competitivo. Los resultados son especialmente útiles para los gerentes de las Spin-off académicas y los organismos de fomento de dichas instituciones para que puedan diseñar y promover estrategias y políticas que favorezcan el crecimiento y competitividad de las Spin-off académicas.
