“…Additional work is then undertaken through collaboration between the researcher and industry, both parties engaging in 'experimentation' with the rudimentary results and exploring their respective interests (Poyago-Theotoky et al, 2002). In such a case, much additional exploratory work has to be done before commercial application or development can even be put on the agenda (Randazzese, 1996). This type of experimentation involves the sustained cooperation of the university scientist and, especially, of graduate students who will often have been trained by the original researcher (Randazzese, 1996): the students' activities may be critical in sustaining the interaction between the university scientist and the private company.…”

Companies in these cases often receive ongoing technical assistance and problem solving from the students, not from the academic who initiated the interaction.…”

This paper proposes a model of interactions between university scientists and the private sector in which graduate students feature as important enablers. This conceptualization proposes that students represent a dimension of scientists' research capacity which improves their ability to identify and act on industry-related opportunities, and which also makes them more feasible research partners from the standpoint of industry. The results show that university scientists' student-related behaviour, such as grant support of students and research collaboration with them, and their student-related attitudes, such as their mentoring orientation, positively affect both the probability that scientists will engage in interaction with industry and the intensity of that interaction. The implications for policy and theory are discussed.

“…It has become an increasingly important and widely used technology, because of its importance in manufacturing, such as its potential to improve design quality, cut design costs, and shorten development time of new products to market (Robertson and Allen, 1993;Randazzese, 1996).…”

Promoting technology diffusion is one of the major tasks in economic development in China. This has led to legislation such as the Patent Law and the National Science and Technology Achievements Diffusion Program. The diffusion of high technology such as computer-aided design (CAD) is particularly advocated, because of its strategic importance in enhancing overall manufacturing capability in the increasingly competitive global marketplace. This paper overviews recent policies and achievements in technology diffusion in China. It then analyzes how the Government and universities affect CAD technology diffusion, reporting on a survey and case studies. The results can be viewed as a model for technology diffusion in China, and can be useful for researchers and policymakers in the field. They can also benefit business managers seeking to understand the high-tech environment in China.

“…Nevertheless, it was evident throughout the case studies that, despite a stated intention to pursue longer term research through these collaborations, the industrial partners were still very much influenced by short term considerations. A finding supported by Randazzese 18 . Certainly there was a marked tendency to concentrate on the shorter term go als of the research at the expense of areas requiring more in -depth, and therefore longer term investigation.…”

“…While the work of Starbuck 17 provides sound guidance that can be used to enable students to gain significantly from collaborative experience, other writers warn of issues relating directly to the influence of industry, that can have an adverse affect on students. Randazzese 18 for example, raised concerns regarding industry's attitude toward collaborative research with universities. A survey of faculty members and affiliates of a collaborative research centre revealed that industry required applied research that was essentially short term and geared toward specific applications.…”
