“…The discussion explored the ways that OI accelerates innovation and the need to align the goals of both university and business. Although a number of scholars have recommended holistic management practices within the Malaysian university sector such as increased top management commitment, funding expansion and building trust (Thiruchelvam, ; Wong et al ., ), there has been little evidence of this. Gaps in innovative efforts have been noticeable between university research interests and commercial or business interests.…”

Increasing calls from university stakeholders to optimise innovation capabilities has never been more urgent given the increasing link between industry and universities. However, innovation activities that underpin the commercialisation attempts of universities are seldom translated into commercialisation success. This is mainly attributed to poor management of innovation processes between innovation networks. Empirical evidence indicates that trust relationships between innovation actors are difficult to achieve because of the perceived risk of disclosure, managerial complexity and conflicts of culture. The purpose of this review paper is to examine how open innovation within universities enhances innovation practices that lead to commercialisation success. Other connecting variables that embody trust, motivation to innovate and strategic leadership are equally important. Several hypotheses are developed, and a research model connects the innovation constructs. This paper is expected to make a significant contribution to connecting literatures that inform successful university‐led and industry‐led partnerships. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This paper explores the effective roles of public research institutions (PRIs) in social innovation and understand the element of communal support in researchers-farmers partnership. The case study on Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) reveals that the partnership between researchers and farmers is limited. The only productive and formal channel for researchers to reach the farmers is through agricultural extension agencies. It found that there are three elements that drive sustainable social innovation in agriculture: (1) quality research by PRIs; (2) efficient extension agency in disseminating knowledge to farmers; and (3) productive farmers in delivering high-yields farming. This paper claimed that the presence of partnership between researchers in PRIs and farmers is the crucial pivot in ensuring innovation reaches the target group. The study also found the potential of civil society organizations to transform farmers into more active innovation actors in the agricultural innovation system.

Malaysia and Nigeria fall within the paradigm of developing countries seeking greater economic competitiveness in a global business environment. Both have developed policy framework and implemented strategic plans for the development of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) as an indispensable part of economic growth, employment creation and economic transformation towards evolving into an advanced nation by the year 2020.Malaysia through SME has moved from efficiency-driven to innovation-driven economy through effective mechanisms. While Nigeria SMEs is still facing tremendous challenges andthreats in achieving economic transformation, despite the strategic policies, institutional framework sets as a priority by the Nigerian Government in ensuring SMEs performance This paper focuses on how Nigeria can learn from Malaysia experience in enhancing SMEs growth for economic transformation and government support through the blend of technology expertise and entrepreneurial skills. This is essentially a general review paper using a descriptive method for the assessment of the Government’s support to SMEs performance focusing on sources of financing and technological programs that have been put through for economic transformation. Following assessment, Malaysia duplications of SME success can be sought from Nigeria in achieving his economic blueprints of vision 20: 2020. This will be proposed as a guide for policy makers in Nigeria and for the people in helping and encouraging SMEs and youths by creating enabling and conducive environment to execute.
