The university-enterprise relationship assumes that universities (higher education institutions) must develop strategies and actions that stimulate research and development to strengthen the growth of their actors and contribute to enterprises the sum of knowledge that supports the solution of their problems. Interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity are fundamental criteria for solving real problems in a comprehensive way. The literature shows that applied research in universities does not assume these considerations to develop its work and does not allow it to offer integral solutions to the company, a task that real sector suppliers do. Taking as a review case the logistics discipline and the way it is adopted by solution providers, we comment, based on the empirical experience in international meeting places of suppliers and entrepreneurs, aspects that distinguish the exchange of information between companies, aspects of interest, these practices could be replicable, so that in the academy, these practices could be replicable, so that in the academy, research groups adopt similar processes seeking an approach to problem solving as adopted by suppliers in the real sector, their work structure and the development of integral solutions to the industry, assuming first of all interdisciplinary work mechanisms with a holistic approach to support, Research groups adopt similar processes seeking an approach to problem solving as adopted by suppliers in the real sector, their work structure and the development of integral solutions to industry, assuming primarily interdisciplinary work mechanisms with a holistic approach that support the development of the mandate that universities must develop in their relationship within the triple hélix.
