“…Firstly, in order to strengthen university-industry linkages, governments have implemented a variety of policy measures (e.g. the establishment of technology transfer offices in universities) not only in developed countries but also in developing countries (Etzkowitz et al, 2000;Sutz, 2000;Dagnino and Submitted, April 09, 2015 Velho, 1998). Additionally, in order to develop effective conditions encouraging collaborations between academia and industry, a great number of research projects have been carried out.…”

The relationship between geographical proximity and academics' formal and informal knowledge-transfer activities in the network is analyzed with a mixed research method. With social network analysis as a basis, we have explored the networks between academics and firms in the 16 regions of South Korea. The result shows Seoul and Gyunggi are identified as central nodes, meaning that the academics in other regions tend to collaborate with firms in these regions. An econometric analysis is performed to confirm the localization of knowledge-transfer activities. The intensity of formal channels measured by the number of academic papers is negatively, but significantly associated with the geographical proximity. However, we have not found any significant relationship between the formality of the channels and geographical proximity. Possibly, the regional innovation systems in South Korea are neither big enough nor strong enough to show a localization effect.

“…In other words, the relationship between academia and industry in developing countries does not show strong linkages, and this has largely been the case until today (Crane, 1977;Waissbluth et al, 1988;Sutz, 2000;Intarakumnerd et al, 2002). Therefore, some scholars (e.g.…”

“…Recently, developing countries as well as developed countries have witnessed a policy orientation towards strengthening the interaction between academic research and industrial application (Etzkowitz et al, 2000;Sutz, 2000;Dagnino and Velho, 1998). As the economy becomes more knowledgebased, universities' economic contribution to society through the transfer of academic knowledge through formal and informal channels (i.e.…”

Evolution of Universities and Government Policy: the case of South Korea

This paper investigates the two academic revolutions of the Korean higher education system. Since economic catch-up began in the 1960s, Korea has strongly encouraged the activities of its higher education system to serve industrial development as it has progressed through various developmental stages. At the 'strong regulation' stage, universities focused on the provision of technicians. As the need for higher education grew, the 'massive expansion' stage emerged. Finally, most recently, university research and its direct contribution to the economy have been invigorated by strong governmental support. Possibly, this is due to the fact that the Korean government has strongly controlled not only industry but also academia. As long as other East Asian universities have similar conditions to those of the development of Korean universities, we can generalise this model not only to universities in other East Asian countries, but also to universities in other rapid catch-up countries.

“…But none of the instruments affected over 50% of the projects, either at universities or companies, there being no single dominant instrument in the processes of cooperative research. Nevertheless, later studies showed that informal contacts are one of the most significant forms of relationship between university and industry on a worldwide scale (Sutz, 2000). Furthermore, other studies developed by Vedovello (1997Vedovello ( , 1998 classified the connections that take place in the relationships established between universities and companies as formal, informal and human resources for both technological development and other ends, and that includes a wide range of relationships that may occur among these actors, which can or must be termed as technological cooperation between universities and businesses (Raposo & Serrasqueiro, 2005).…”

The central aim of this article is to demonstrate the development and characteristics of an inter-institutional relationship with a view to perfecting existing technology in reducing the consumption of energy in household refrigerators and also to show the adequacy of the case studied for the most recent preconceived ideas concerning the development of Etzkowitz's Triple Helix. The study refers to the technological cooperation between universities and industries and the presentation of a successful experience in which the joint action of individual institutions led to technological gains for both parties. The data was collected from individual in depth interviews with the research coordinators at the both company and the university. The results obtained showed not only the efficiency of the joint research but also the success of the cooperation and the identification of the practice of new positions raised in recent studies. Thus, by studying the experience of these institutions in technological cooperation, we can see that the productivity and efficiency of the cooperation between the university and the company open up possibilities for contributing to the technological development of the country.
