“…However, these barriers can be lowered if firms and universities can develop routines that facilitate industry-university collaboration through previous experiences of industryuniversity collaboration. Thus, the findings of Bruneel et al (2010) and Hewitt-Dundas et al (2019) suggest that barriers deterring industry-university collaboration can be overcome through specific experiences of it.…”

“…Science-based industries are also more inclined to draw on university knowledge (Pavitt, 1984;Segarra-Blasco & Arauzo-Carod, 2008). Also, firms that draw knowledge from a wide range of external sources are more likely to collaborate with universities (Hewitt-Dundas et al, 2019;Laursen & Salter, 2004). Bruneel et al (2010) and Hewitt-Dundas et al (2019) point out that a range of orientationrelated barriers can potentially prevent collaboration between firms and universities; firms might expect to appropriate and exploit the benefits of discoveries through secrecy, while academic researchers might expect to be able to disseminate the research they generate.…”

The timing of academic research might also be an issue for firm partners, with the latter expecting research that should be rapidly applicable.…”

“…Laursen et al (2004) and Laursen and Salter (2011) found that firms that interacted with a wide range of different types of organisations were more likely to interact with universities. Hewitt-Dundas et al (2019) found that previous collaboration with customers was positively associated with industry-university collaboration among small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs), whereas among larger firms previous collaboration with consultants was positively associated with industry-university collaboration.…”

“…However, it has been shown that firms are more likely to interact with universities if they interact with organisations other than universities (Laursen, Reichstein, & Salter, 2011;Laursen & Salter, 2004). With few recent exceptions (Hewitt-Dundas, Gkypali, & Roper, 2019), the exact types of organisations that are associated with industry-university collaboration on innovation are not so well known. This study aimed at providing insights on the types of organisations that are related with industry-university collaboration by assessing whether industry-university collaboration on innovation was more likely if firms collaborated with research and technology organisations (RTOs) by answering the following research question:…”

Bridging the Gap between Firms and Universities: Firm Links with Research and Technology Organisations in Different Types of Regions

This study examined how collaboration with research and technology organisations (RTOs) was associated with industry-university collaboration as part of firms' innovative activities in different types of geographical regions. By combining data from the Danish Research and Innovation Survey and Danish register data at different points in time, the link between firms' collaboration with RTOs and their collaboration with universities in Denmark was studied.Also, the link between the firms' locations in peripheral regions, non-metropolitan university regions or the metropolitan region of Copenhagen and their collaboration with universities in Denmark were also studied. The results suggest that firms that collaborate with RTOs are more likely to collaborate with universities. This paper argues that collaboration with RTOs is associated with a higher likelihood of industry-university collaboration because this experience of collaboration allows firms to overcome barriers for collaboration with universities, which are related to differences in norms and incentive systems between firms and universities. When looking at different types of regions, firms in peripheral and metropolitan regions that collaborated with RTOs were more likely to collaborate with universities. However, firms in non-metropolitan university regions that collaborated with RTOs were not more likely to collaborate with universities.

This paper examines the effect of innovation efficiency on firm performance using the Greek version of the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) 2012-2014 and employs a dataset of 1,274 innovative manufacturing firms. Introducing a data envelopment analysis (DEA)-type benchmarking strategy with non-continuous knowledge inputs, the main findings suggest that innovation efficiency, although does not exert a direct impact on firm performance, moderates the relationship between the internally generated knowledge and firm performance. On the other hand, such a moderation relationship is not confirmed for the relationship between external knowledge and innovation spillovers on firm's performance. Although the impact of the embodied to innovation inputs spillovers, on firm performance, is always positive and significant, empirical results indicate that absorptive capacity exhibits diminishing returns with respect to performance.

In this paper we analyse, classify and discuss some ethical considerations and challenges related to pursuing exploratory and interdisciplinary research projects in the area of ICT, especially those involving older adults. First, we identify spotlight areas, which are especially prominent in these fields. Next, we explore possible pitfalls interdisciplinary researchers may stumble onto when planning, conducting and presenting exploratory research activities. Finally, some of these are selected and discussed more closely, while related open questions are posed.
