“…For instance, University cannot provide sufficient talent without Industry partnership to assist the education structure to match with the demand and at the same time, the Government role to direct policies and provide financial aids are significant to carry out the roles of University and Industry. Emerging studies from Jerome (17), Ankrah and Omar (25), and Chandran, Sundram (26) posited that the strength of TH is increasingly perceived as a vehicle to be responsive to the growing demand for more employable graduates to continue propelling the industries with innovations and creativity by facilitating technological advancement and efficient knowledge exchange which are important to fill the gap of insufficient skills among talent and increase collective knowledge, skills and professional trust (17:Snyder and Briggs, 2003).To further examine the effectiveness of Industry and University roles as actors in the TH model, notions of the -Industries have failed to attract local talent‖ and -Universities have failed to provide better education‖ have become subjects of debate in the issue of outflows talent abroad. Are Industry and University in Malaysia not attractive enough?…”

The Talent is viewed as a competitive issue. Meanwhile, Knowledge Talent is indeed required for shaping an innovative ecosystem sphere. Malaysia is still fighting the “Knowledge Talent” war due to the rising talent and skill gap between available graduates and industries’ demands. Profound collaboration between the Government, University and Industry known as Triple Helix (TH) model has been highlighted as the main driver to fill this gap. Providing an exploration of the fundamental conditions and contextual sensitivity that hinder university-industry linkages, this paper suggest the ideal TH model framework to fill the gap and provide a solid basis by considering institutionalism perspective in the Malaysia context. The evolutionary perspective stipulates better understanding of overlay in communication and gap between the Government, University and Industry to reshape the Knowledge Talent pool systems to fill the gap in contributing to the transition of a hybrid TH culture-taking root.

It described that the university engaged in basic and fundamental R&D while the industry engaged in incremental innovation which requires less R&D investment.…”

“…In addition, the study also disclosed factors that contributed to the level of UI collaboration such as lack of an intermediary role, absorptive capacity and collaborative initiative by the industry. Chandran et al (2014) suggested that collaborative R&D can be a good effort to increase the commercialisation output, but it requires close cooperation between UI and a proper institutional arrangement in coordinating the collaborative R&D.…”

The Triple Helix (TH) Model explains how the UIGs should work together as a team to create innovation and successful outcomes. However, due to differences in objectives, functions and mechanisms, such collaborations are difficult to form and sustain. The purpose of this paper is to document the perceptions of stakeholders involved in the Malaysian-based UIG collaborations, with respect to their strategic partnerships, under the coordination of the intermediary organization, Collaborative Research Engineering Science and Technology (CREST). A qualitative research based on semi-structured interviews and document analysis, was conducted to capture the manifestations of strategic partnership in each of the stages of the TH. Three particular themes surfaced within each stage of TH, namely, partnership evaluation, building relationship, and synergy in collaboration. In the partnership evaluation stage, the respective partners were interested to match their expertise with those of others and improve their own competitiveness, while in the building relationship stage, a trust-based relationship is expected to be of mutual benefit for all. In the last stage, transparency and facilitation become important in order to accomplish each of their respective goals. The role of the intermediary organisation across the stages builds from being a filter and legitimator and technology broker, toward providing resource support and funding. Nevertheless, its role as a mediator/arbitrator was poignant throughout all the stages.

“…This narrows down to the presences of a mismatch between the demands of the companies and the universities, and the roles played by each stakeholder in thecollaboration (Veera & Kaliani, 2013, Guerrero, Urbano, & Herrera, 2017. Hence, it is important to address this research gap, for it will provide insights to help industries and universities understand how academic collaborations can be intensified to spur innovation.…”

Innovation has been the key pillar of success for economic growth especially for developing countries. Malaysia is one resorting to both universities and industries to collaborate in a more engaging and concentrated fashion to accelerate innovation growth especially in the manufacturing sector. Despite the high number of university industry collaborations, the return rate of investments is low. This suggest a mismatch between the demands of both the university and industry. On that grounds, it is important to address this research gap, for it will provide insights to help industries and universities understand how academic collaborations can be intensified to spur innovation. The aim of this paper is to establish Technology Sharing as a conduit in University Industry Collaboration to intensifying innovation within the Malaysian Manufacturing Landscape. The paper is based on findings of a quantitative approach through survey questionnaire to determine a strong relationship on Technology Sharing through University Industry Collaboration as a source of innovation in the manufacturing industry. A total of 120 companies within the manufacturing landscape were survey and analysed using paired sample T-test. The mean scores were translated into percentages to amplify the magnitude of knowledge improvement and product development with Technology Sharing in manufacturing against the Business expenditure on R&D (BERD). The findings reveal, Technology Sharing through University Industry Collaboration improves knowledge within the company significantly. This generation of new knowledge is a source of innovation in product development to enhance the product/process/technology of the manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The findings also show that with Technology Sharing, companies’ absorptive capacity of new product development is significant. Improvement of knowledge translates into product development and augments innovation. This further ascertains the relationship of Technology Sharing in intensifying University Industry Collaboration to the growth of innovation within the Malaysian Manufacturing landscape.
