These collaborations have gained significant attention in recent years as a means of promoting technological advances and economic competitiveness of regions.…”

“…Within independent relationships, suppliers typically provide commoditized and standardized products, And the main objective of the purchasing department is to minimize the costs [4], so that financial practitioners with different economic and social conditions can as much as possible have a choice of educational products. Besides, firms could interact directly with the university or via an intermediary organization [5], to further optimize the progress that the labor forces transfer from education to industry.…”

In recent years, China's economic development pattern has gradually changed to a major domestic circulation with domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other. At the same time, opposition from the West to the outward transfer of industrial chain has been growing, and the new normal under the COVID-19 pandemic has also caused a great impact on the original economic development model. Based on this background, this paper analyzes the adjustment direction and path of China's domestic capital distribution, finds potential problems and puts forward relevant suggestions. This paper uses comparative research method, combines qualitative and quantitative methods, carries out horizontal comparison within China, focuses on the study of western China, finds and analyzes the capital disadvantages of western China from multiple dimensions, and puts forward policy suggestions for the financial development of western China based on advanced experience at home and abroad. Finally, this paper concludes: under the background of dual circulation, the Chinese government should vigorously promote the construction of financial institutions in western China to attract financial talents, promote local financing, improve local people's livelihood and enhance the level of opening to the outside world, so as to promote the construction of an open, inclusive, standardized and international financial service system.

“…Within this research context, scholars have paid growing attention to the role of intermediary organizations in the knowledge transfer process (Bonomi, 2014;Villani et al, 2017;Clayton et al, 2018;Alexandre et al, 2021). These organizational structures act as intermediaries in the knowledge transfer process to shorten the distance between universities and industries, dealing with markets that are often highly knowledge-intensive and increasingly competitive (Audretsch et al, 2012;Petruzzelli and Murgia, 2020).…”

“…They can improve the efficiency of the knowledge transfer activities, reducing the cost related to time, negotiation, and coordination among parties (Battistella et al, 2016;D'Este et al, 2016;. However, given the high research focus on internal organizational structures for knowledge transfer, these external organizations still represent a relatively recent and understudied phenomenon (Brescia et al, 2016;Battaglia et al, 2017, Villani et al, 2017Alexandre et al, 2021). Within this framework, we contribute to this research field by analysing a specific case of external organization for the university-to-industry technology transfer: university foundations in Italy.…”

“…Those kinds of organizations may be investigated under a more general focus within the framework of intermediary organization for knowledge transfer activities. Researchers can analyse when it can be more efficient and effective to for the universities to go for the support an intermediary organization rather than a completely external one (Villani et al, 2017;Alexandre et al, 2021). Since it is a still recent phenomenon for scientific research, there are still many observations that can be made.…”

The resource-based view (RBV) has been one of the most cited streams of research in the management literature. This theory has been one of the few theories completely developed within the management disciplines. Since the initial pioneering research in the 80s and 90s, the study of knowledge-and trust-based resources has interested many theoretical and empirical works concerning many issues: company strategies, mergers and acquisitions, alliances and partnerships, organization and HR, innovation, marketing, consumer behavior, channel relationships, entrepreneurship, internationalization, and more. Today the post-pandemic world presents new challenges for managers, organizations, and researchers on which a deeper understanding of knowledge-and trust-based resources can help and shed a new light.Sustainability and a fast digital transformation are nowadays considered key goals for many companies, managers, public organizations, and governments under the umbrella of EU Next Generation Recovery Plan. The real challenge now is to enhance and leverage the intangible resources heritage -namely knowledge and trust -to get a more sustainable, inclusive and digital world and, as a consequence, for building a better society. In this perspective, also the long-term goals of the firm and its finalism have to be totally re-shaped.Sinergie Italian Journal of Management dedicated a special issue to this topic more than 20 years ago and many scholars have studied and deepened this multi-faced topic with original approaches in our community.
