[EN] Industry has reached a prominent role in recent European scientific policies, related to a shift in the production model towards an intensive knowledge-based economy. In spite of that, an understanding of business engagement with science is still deficient. The aim of this study was to test the relation between firm managers’ perceptions of science and business engagement in research and development in their companies. This research is based on the results of the Scientific Culture at Enterprises 2016 survey, the first research tool specifically designed to investigate science perception in the business sector. Results show that what distinguishes a firm that is proactive toward R&D engagement is primarily the institutional knowledge of its managers about the scientific ecosystem and the variety of scientific sources they habitually consult. This research contributes to opening the black box of science perception in the business sector, focused on improving the design of public policies addressed to this actor
[ES] La industria ha desempeñado un papel relevante en las recientes políticas científicas europeas. Sin embargo, el conocimiento de la relación entre ciencia y empresa es aun deficiente. El objetivo de este estudio es comprobar la relación entre la percepción de la ciencia de los directivos y la propensión (o no) a desarrollar proyectos de investigación en sus empresas. Este trabajo está basado en los resultados de la encuesta Cultura Científica Empresarial 2016, la primera realizada específicamente para estudiar la percepción de la ciencia en el sector empresarial. Los resultados muestran que las empresas proactivas en I+D se distinguen, principalmente, por el conocimiento institucional de sus directivos acerca del ecosistema científico y la variedad de fuentes de información científica consultadas. Este estudio contribuye a abrir la “caja negra” de la percepción de la ciencia en el sector empresarial, con el fin de mejorar el diseño de las políticas públicas dirigidas a este actor
