The main objective of this research was to identify management skills for a culture of university innovation in higher education institutions in Colombia and Venezuela. To meet the objective, we studied the theoretical bases of the authors Horth and Buchner (2009), Dyer, Gregersen and Christensen (2012) and Tomás (2010), among others. The methodology used was under the positivist research paradigm, the research was descriptive with a non-experimental, transsectional and field design. The population was constituted by 60 teachers of each university. As a tool for data collection, a questionnaire was developed using the 33-item Likert response categories, validated by seven experts in the area. The reliability of the instrument was determined by the Cronbach's Alpha method with a reliability of 0.94. The research results show a low percentage of both the skills needed to be innovative and the discovery skills, concluding that there is a lack of managerial skills for a culture of university innovation in higher education institutions in Colombia and Venezuela.
