“…While it is recognised that a key component of the engagement between universities and companies is knowledge (Chiang, 2011), the two cultures are considered to have different knowledge dispositions. Universities have, according to Chiang (2011), an expert knowledge disposition, which means that academics are concerned with knowledge dissemination, publishing, peer recognition, reputation, academic freedom, independence, open science, public good, basic and upstream research, discovery, openness and sharing. In contrast, companies have a commercialised knowledge disposition (Chiang, 2011), mainly focusing on applied and downstream research, profit, end products and secrecy to protect their own commercial interests and preserve their competitiveness in the market (Chiang, 2011).…”
