“…It is commonly accepted practice to measure social proximity based on prior collaborations or previous research experiences (Hoekman et al, 2012;Hong and Su, 2013;Petruzzelli, 2011). Niedergassel and Leker (2011) analysed R&D cooperation projects of university professors and procure evidence on the relevance of factors like trust, dependency of partners and strength of ties.…”

ABSTRACT:The main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of various proximity dimensions (geographical, cognitive, institutional, organizational, social and economic) on academic scientific collaborations (SC). The data to capture SC consists of a set of co-authored articles published between 2006 and 2010 by universities located in EU-15, indexed by the Science Citation Index (SCI Expanded) of the ISI Web of Science database. We link this data to institution-level information provided by the EUMIDA dataset. Our final sample consists of 240,495 co-authored articles from 690 European universities that featured in both datasets. Additionally, we also retrieved data on regional R&D funding from Eurostat. Based on the gravital equation, we estimate several econometrics models using aggregated data from all disciplines as well as separated data for Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Life Sciences and Physics & Astronomy. Our results provide evidence on the substantial role of geographical, cognitive, institutional, social and economic distance in shaping scientific collaboration, while the effect of organizational proximity seems to be weaker. Some differences on the relevance of these factors arise at discipline level.

“…A project in the healthcare sector is an endeavor to accomplish specific objectives connected with the project management in this field and it requires practical skill as much as knowledge. However, studies targeting project management have almost exclusively focused on industrial projects, neglecting the importance of health care projects in other fields (Niedergassel and Leker, 2011).…”

Abstract:The study examines the effects of the application of project management techniques on health care project success, a study of Badagry General Hospital, Lagos State. Survey research design was adopted for this study. Copies of the questionnaire used for the study were administered to 65 health workers using purposive sampling technique while 256 copies of the questionnaire were administered to patients using simple random sampling technique. The questionnaire for this study was validated using content validity and the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by determining the Cronbach's Alpha, which was equal to 0.851. The data collected for the study were presented using charts, tables, percentages and frequencies, while the stated hypotheses were analysed with the aid of correlation analysis and regression analysis. The findings revealed that there is a significant high relationship between resource allocation and sustainability in the health system, with a Pearson's Moment correlation coefficient (r = 0.832, p-value < 0.05). It was also discovered that 85% of the variation recorded in improved quality is accounted for or contributed by monitoring services scheduled. (R2 = 0.85, p-value <0.05). Based on these findings, the study therefore recommended that projects set by a healthcare facility's administrative board must be addressed by a project management team. Healthcare managers must also be concerned with the quality of care and patient outcomes, and lastly that there is need for The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act to be put in place to improve Nigerian healthcare patient care and delivery through an unprecedented investment in Health Information Technology.

“…Lower credibility would weigh on partnership, bring risks to the alliance, and endanger stability of collaborations among R&D participants. Based on the R&D cooperation project concluded by 376 German chemistry and biology professors, Niedergassel and Leker (2011) demonstrated that higher credibility among alliance members would benefit R&D innovations and partnership. Bunduchi (2013) clarified through case study that credibility among partners might affect new partner selection and cooperative innovation performance, and that an increasing credibility would help with partnership management.…”

“…Communication could reduce conflicts in cooperation, trim uncertainty and strengthen mutual trust (Niedergassel and Leker, 2011); therefore, it is necessary for realizing knowledge collaboration. Promise, representing an intention for long-term cooperation, is irreplaceable for maintaining a stable partnership (Liao, 2004).…”

An evaluation on high-tech enterprise research and development (R&D) is of great necessity for boosting innovative economy and high-tech industry in the era of knowledge economy. However, high-tech enterprises cannot fully understand their partners' R&D capabilities and cooperative tendencies due to information asymmetry. Driven by interest, opportunistic behaviors might emerge, reducing trust and affecting efficient R&D cooperation. To explore R&D partners' credibility and avoid opportunistic behaviors, this study establishes an evaluation index system on the credibility of high-tech enterprise partners based on literature extraction and law relationship. The SPA-Markov Model has been adopted to dynamically evaluate the credibility in knowledge collaboration. Finally, HS, the China FAW Tooling Die Manufacturing's partner, is case-studied to verify feasibility of the model. The results are as follows: (1) Social environment, partner competence, partnership and collaborative potential are key indexes measuring partner credibility. (2) The SPAModel Model could figure out changes and trends of the credibility. (3) The credibility of high-tech enterprise partners might fluctuate in collaboration. According to the study, the SPA-Model Model is feasible for assessing the credibility, which makes up for static evaluation and provides novel ideas on evaluation and optimization of hightech enterprise partners.
