“…The differences lie in the ways in which knowledge is generated, which range from social pressure on economic entities to the geographic proximity of the parties involved, public policies and the growing demand for knowledge. They also propose that the economy has gone from being driven by physical capital to being fueled by intellectual capital (Audretsch et al, 2013;Bozeman et al, 2013;Fromhold-Eisebith & Werker, 2013;Fukugawa, 2013;Bolling & Eriksson, 2016). Audretsch (2014), in turn, proposes that the role of universities in society (the emergence of business universities in response to demands by the forces that shape economic growth and performance), focuses its goals on providing solutions to the specific problems of society.…”

“…The real input and output indicators during cooperation innovation activities reflect the IUR collaborative innovation achievement, but these results are meaningless if they do not improve enterprises' production capacity or competitiveness. In other words, the late-output stage is also an important index of IUR collaborative innovation [4,5].…”

Previous studies have pointed out that Industry-University-Research Institution (IUR) collaborative innovation is an important means to ensure the sustainable development of regional innovation, and there may be spillover effects among different regional innovation systems. However, the impact of regional spatial correlation and IUR collaborative innovation synergy degree on regional innovation performance is not that clear. Based on the panel data of 31 regions in China from 2006 to 2015, we construct static and dynamic spatial econometrics models to analysis the relationships among regional innovation performance, IUR collaborative innovation and spatial correlation. The research results show that there are significant positive spillover effects among different regions, indicating that the dynamic flows of innovation elements among regions is conducive to improve the regional innovation performance. In addition, IUR collaboration innovation also has a positive impact on regional innovation performance: the current period of IUR synergy degree has a negative impact, while the lagged one has a positive impact. It means that it will take a while for IUR collaborative innovation to be effective and it will have far-reaching contributions to long-term improvements rather than short-term benefits in social development. The results are significant for both static and dynamic spatial econometrics models. The conclusions of this paper have important policy significance to fully understand the coordination of innovative elements and promote the sustainable development of regional innovation systems.

“…Besides its positive prestige, the impacts of academic commercialisation on the surrounding environment and for individuals are difficult to measure. Bölling and Eriksson's (2016) effort in Sweden and Perkmann et al's (2015) attempt in London are some endeavours to provide more thorough understanding and metrics for evaluating the social value of commercialisation.…”

This paper introduces findings from a 2-year commercialisation project, KnoPro, where a Finnish university and few life science companies together with a number of intermediary organisations searched for business opportunities for academic research. The data of this intensive case study are organised in narrative episodes in which the actors attached versatile meanings to commercialisation. The episodes illustrate how academics approach commercialisation from the research perspective without true commercial efforts. They prioritise research and teaching ahead of commercialisation which constitutes a challenge for commercialisation. According to this study, successful commercialisation necessitates thinking in business terms, e.g. researchers should learn to use sales arguments when promoting their research.
