“…There are substantial synergies between these channels: while face-to-face and frequent interactions may not require a formalized-contractual relationship, they are crucial to improving the effectiveness of formal, longterm research agreements. Second, broad engagement also contributes to strengthening the firm's capacity to balance and align conflicting interests arising from the distinct system of incentives between academia and industry (D'Este and Patel, 2007). Therefore, it can be expected that working across different channels may raise transaction-related barriers, while at the same time the increased breadth of interaction will lower orientation-related barriers.…”

Although the literature on university-industry links has begun to uncover the reasons for, and types of, collaboration between universities and businesses, it offers little explanation of ways to reduce the barriers in these collaborations. This paper seeks to unpack the nature of the obstacles to collaborations between universities and industry, exploring influence of different mechanisms in lowering barriers related to the orientation of universities and to the transactions involved in work with university partners. Drawing on a large-scale survey and public records, this paper explores the effects of collaboration experience, breadth of interaction, and interorganizational trust on lowering different types of barriers. The analysis shows that prior experience of collaborative research lowers orientation-related barriers and that greater levels of trust reduce both types of barriers studied. It also indicates that breadth of interaction diminishes the orientation-related, but increases transaction-related barriers. The paper explores the implications of these findings for policies aimed at facilitating university-industry collaboration.

“…Adding to this, regional studies (in Brazil, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, among others) analyzes the innovative activity of firms inside science parks, and the channels used to transfer knowledge among institutions (Cohen, Nelson and Walsh, 2002;Etzkowitz, Mello and Almeida, 2005;Perkmann & Walsh, 2007;D'este & Patel, 2007;Bekkers & Freitas, 2008;Lin & Tzeng, 2009;Østergaard, 2009;Radosevic & Myrzakhmet, 2009;Yang, Motohashi and Chen, 2009;Ratinho & Henriques, 2010).…”

“…Although recent articles demonstrate that such channel of knowledge transfer rarely contribute to high value knowledge transfer between university and industry (Østergaard, 2009), other articles present that this kind of knowledge transfer is considered one of the most important link between scientists and companies (Cohen et al, 2002;D'Este & Patel, 2007).…”

“…For example, Austrian companies find contract research and consulting as the most important channel of knowledge transfer, followed by collaborative research and joint PhD supervision (Schartinger, Rammer, Fischer and Fröhlich, 2002). On the other hand, in UK the most common way of knowledge transfer is trough meetings and conferences, followed by consultancy and contract research (D'este & Patel, 2007).…”

The Silent Run: New Issues and Outcomes for University-Industry Relations in Brazil

In order to develop innovations, companies are establishing University-Industry (U-I) relations which are explained in theories like the Triple Helix. Maybe this traditional view it is not enough to describe what happens in Brazil. Followed by a growth of articles published internationally, companies in technologically stable industries seem to be incorporating high-tech outcomes from universities, boosting sectors that once were apparently inert. This research will propose a different approach on U-I relations, focusing on the Knowledge Flow. Results show that agriculture companies are increasing their relations as much as engineering companies. Such relations are mainly based on raw technologies or applied solutions. Start-up firms' relations are mainly based on informal contacts and patents are not used to protect technologies. The Silent Run shows that companies which appear to be technologically stable are now upgrading trough U-I, and patents does not seem to be the first option when protecting new technologies.

“…Academic consulting is widely practiced (D'Este and Patel, 2007;Meyer-Krahmer and Schmoch, 1998). Many universities encourage staff to provide consulting by allowing them to spend usually 20% of their time on outside activities (Schmoch, 1999).…”
