“…The publishing-patenting literature has provided mixed results (Blumenthal et al 1996;Bourelos et al 2012;Gulbrandsen and Smeby 2005;Van Looy et al 2004;Van Looy et al 2006), though these results are generally in favor of the "star-scientist" argument that patenting and publishing are complementary. However, the multi -factor nature of academic performance makes the analysis of patenting-publishing vulnerable to bias and there is still a lack of studies that can solidify the links and the direction within patenting and publishing.…”

Nanoscience is an innovation intensive interdisciplinary field, where science and technology are closely related during development. Sweden represents an interesting setting to examine how they are related, because a high fraction of the total Swedish academic patents can be classified as Nanoscience. Combining bibliometric data from Web of Science, patent data from EPO and data from Swedish universities, this paper identifies all authors and all inventors listed on patents who work at universities, within nanotechnology in Sweden. The main question we address is if prominent academic scientists in terms of scientific publications are also the ones who become academic inventors. Publications are examined in terms of published articles and invention in terms of patents. The paper uses a novel semi-parametric technique, namely a conditional regression in a matched sample, in order to isolate the effect of publishing on patenting. The novelty of this paper is that it applies a conditional logistic regression in matches of academic pairs in order to isolate the relationship between patentingpublishing in nanoscience. The empirical results show that academics who both publish and patent have on average more publications as well as more citations. Furthermore, having a higher number of citations can increase the probability of having a patent. Thus, by isolating the effects of publishing on patenting, this paper contributes by demonstrating that scientific prominence, indicated both by number of articles and citations, positively impact the propensity to take patents.

“…Nevertheless, it is often assumed that Sweden lacks entrepreneurial spirit in science and performs poorly in academic commercialization. A recent survey of 295 Swedish academic researchers (Bourelos, Magnusson and McKelvey 2012), however, indicates the opposite. It was found that Swedish university researchers have very positive attitudes towards patenting and spinoffs and a considerable share of them is also involved in concrete commercialization activities.…”

Stakeholder approach to the implementation of the ‘third mission’ of universities

The implementation of the ‘third mission’ by universities is a significant area of research that has been explored by many Russian and international experts. The ‘third mission’ means engaging with society. Alongside education and research, it is an important factor in the successful development of a contemporary university. In this article, we explore how stakeholder theory, which is successfully employed in the management of large organisations, may be applied for the development of mechanisms for effective implementation of the ‘third mission’ by universities. We identify the main problems in organising stakeholder interactions at Russian universities and analyse possible strategies to improve the situation. We use the examples of Polish, Swedish, and Russian universities to illustrate the practical aspects of interactions at different levels between universities and stakeholders., forms, and methods in the field. Further, we propose a classification of key stakeholders of universities, describe their mutual relations, interests, and resources available to them as well as reflect on stakeholder participation models in educational management. Our findings may contribute to better management at Russian educational institutions and benefit national education authorities.

The commercialization of the research results of the universities has gained strength, due to the juncture and interest for take of the potential returns that these have to offer. To this end, some universities have identified the creation of Spin-off as a direct technology transfer mechanism, which shows great economic benefits in the regions where they are developed. However, its creation process presents several challenges and risks that the actors involved must assume, so this article presents a review and analysis of the scientific literature on university spin-offs for the identification of reference practices associated with its creation. The results allowed to establish the bases of a conceptual model of the spin-off creation, identifying the reference practices for each of the different stages of the process, useful to provide stakeholders, a guide for the development of this type of academic entrepreneurship.
