“…Interestingly, universities and companies might have different roles in knowledge transfers. While university scientists often initiate knowledge transfer, companies take on more managerial roles afterwards (Goel et al 2017). However, as stated by Goel et al (2017), a technology transfer system that solely relies on this allocation of roles may not be sustainable.…”

What makes industry–university collaboration succeed? A systematic review of the literature

Industry-university collaborations (IUCs) have received increased attention in management practice and research. The need for innovation in today's business environment and the ambition of policymakers to commercialize academic knowledge intensify this trend. However, although research has devoted considerable effort to finding the determinants of success for interfirm collaboration, much less is known about IUCs. This article presents the results of a systematic review of the literature on the collaboration between industry and universities. We perform an extensive analysis of research published on industry-university collaboration projects with the objective of distilling factors that influence the success of such collaborations. We propose a novel conceptual model, which synthesizes our empirical results, and use it to organize and categorize influencing factors and their interrelationship within the collaboration process. Based on our review of existing literature, we identify an agenda for future research in this domain.

“…However, there are control factors to examine the impact of knowledge sharing on achieving the objectives of UIC [33]. These control factors include obligations to get external research funding [34], professors' attitudes towards UIC [35], the degree of applied research [36], the number of employees under professors' supervision, professors' years of experience, size of the partner organisation, and the type of partner organisation (i.e., whether it is a private company, a public organisation, or a not-for-profit organisation).…”

University–construction industry collaboration (UIC) has become an essential part of driving innovation and fostering construction industry growth. Measuring the performance of such collaboration is an emergent field of study that is scattered through the current literature. This study aims to identify the UIC performance indicators advocated by the top-cited references, and map UIC performance indicators in the context of the state of Qatar. The present research evaluated the literature related to measuring the performance of UIC, considering publications in selected scientific databases over the period of 2004 – 2020. The publications were obtained through a search of the Science Direct, Emerald Insight, Scopus, Web of Science, Springer Link, SAGE, Research Gate, and Taylor & Francis Online databases. Keywords used in searching for publications included university, construction industry, business, cooperation, collaboration, relation, performance, and measurement. The findings were discussed and confirmed in the context of Qatar’s education and innovation ecosystem through semi-structured interviews with two renowned scholars who are involved in UIC. The study revealed that both universities and the construction industry are increasingly focused on measuring the performance of collaboration through specific performance indicators. The results show that both universities and the construction industry share some interests when it comes to four key performance indicators. These performance indicators are (1) the number of registered patents, (2) the number of patent applications, (3) the number of innovations (process/marketing/product/organisational), and (4) the number of publications. This study contributes to a general understanding of measuring UIC performance and defining trends in this research field. It also highlights research limitations and provides an arena for future research in the field. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091688 Full Text: PDF

“…Huggins and Prokop [20] explore the knowledge network structure of university-industry ties and they find that network structures between universities and other actors, principally firms, influence the patterns of regional innovation and development. Using a sample of 833 German manufacturing firms, Goel et al [21] reveal that university scientists have somewhat higher difficulties initiating collaborations with large firms than that with small firms.…”

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the complexity and rapid change of technological innovation, more and more enterprises seek to develop and research (R&D) institutions to cooperate with green innovation. In order to promote the cooperation efficiency of green innovation, this paper develops a multi-stage game model to analyze the optimal strategies of the enterprise, the university and the policy-maker with consumer learning and government subsidy. Then the paper compares the difference of optimal subsidy between the single-stage green innovation cooperation and the multi-stage green innovation cooperation. The research shows that consumers' initial learning factors and green innovation cooperation cycle have a significant impact on the optimal input level of the enterprise and the university and also have a significant impact on the optimal subsidy of the government. The specific government subsidy and subsidy ratio depend on the comprehensive role of consumer learning factors and the green innovation cooperation cycle. In the end, we propose that the government should subsidize the university at times when the initial consumer learning factor is low; the government subsidy should be properly lagged when the initial consumer learning factor is high.
