“…Also, the determinants of the innovative impact in University-Industry collaborations (Messeni Petruzzelli & Murgia, 2020) and its impact on the productivity of academic research (Garcia, Araújo, Mascarini, Santos, & Costa, 2020). Additionally, recent systematic reviews (Nsanzumuhire & Groot, 2020) Regarding university-industry collaboration processes, three topics of interest stand out: interaction channels, mechanisms and barriers that these collaborations face. Likewise, it is highlighted that there is still a gap in research regarding this issue in developing countries, compared to developed ones (Nsanzumuhire & Groot, 2020 (Chryssou, 2020).…”

Collaboration processes between universities and companies are increasingly relevant for the generation of new knowledge and for promoting innovation. However, the literature highlights the need to delve into the factors that drive and favour these collaboration dynamics. Thus, the present paper aims to identify the success factors in university-industry collaboration processes. For this purpose, a scoping review was performed. We conducted a search in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, in order to find documents related to the subject until 2019. As a result of the scoping review, 17 success factors were identified, classified according to the four internal facilitators: structure, strategy, knowledge and relations.

Online purchasing, and hence e-commerce packaging production and use, have grown steadily in recent years, and so has their environmental impact as a result. This paper reviews the evolution of packaging over the last century through a compilation of scientific literature on e-commerce packaging focusing on its environmental side. The primary aims were to identify research gaps in e-commerce packaging and to propose new research lines aimed at reducing its environmental impact. A systematic search of abstracts was conducted to identify articles dealing with sustainability in e-commerce packaging in order to better understand changes in materials and formats, identify problems such as oversizing and allow prospective readers to become acquainted with the latest innovations in materials, sustainability and logistics. Based on existing research, packaging materials and technology evolved rapidly until the 1990s. Later, however, it has become increasingly difficult to further reduce their cost and environmental impact. Also, some packaging products continue to be made from non-renewable materials and thus restrict growth of e-commerce. Further research is needed with a view to producing new packages from renewable sources such as cellulose-containing materials, which are widely available in nature, or from recycled cellulose-based materials such as cartonboard. Improving distribution processes with new, more effective tools could additionally help alleviate the environmental impact of packaging. Similarly, new production processes such as additive manufacturing and 3D printing might help optimize package volume and shape, thereby facilitating more sustainable production through, for example, reduced CO 2 emissions. Currently available technology can be useful to rethink the whole e-commerce packaging paradigm, which has changed very little over the past few decades.

“…Frølund, Murray and Riedel [90] provided the example of university-industry forms such as R&D cooperation, consortia membership, student hackathons, and collaboration on publicly funded research. Nsanzumuhire and Groot [91] reported, from their systematic literature review from the context perspective of university-industry collaborations, that the majority of the cooperation they found are publication, patent and license, R&D joint project, contract research, consultancy, students and staff training, conference and meetings, and spinoff. Furthermore, research from the EU experts disclosed that R&D collaboration, mobility of students, and consulting are the most frequent forms of collaboration between universities and industry from a business point of view [14].…”

“…Therefore, an option is a collaboration with universities in order to search for external knowledge and resources to complement their capabilities. The universities provide several forms of collaboration [38,90,91]. However, the start-ups adopt collaboration patterns that are consistent with their interest, and facilitate them to achieve their goals.…”

Road to Sustainability: University–Start-Up Collaboration

Considerations on sustainability have growing attention not only for scholars and businesses, but also for almost everyone. However, accomplishing sustainable progress is complicated and cannot be completely reached by single individuals or organizations. Consequently, entrepreneurs striving for sustainable change might search for collaborations with universities to overcome their resource and technology constraints. A quantitative research method was employed to explore the value of such collaborations. Data were gathered via questionnaires, between February and March 2020, from entrepreneurs/start-ups that are spin-offs of the ten leading higher education institutions in Berlin and Brandenburg (Germany). Correlation and logistic regression disclosed that start-ups with different sustainability goals employed dissimilar formats of collaboration with universities. Ecological-oriented entrepreneurs tend to utilize all three forms of university–start-up collaboration. On the contrary, social-driven start-ups are not likely to adopt any kind of collaboration with universities. While ventures with economical SDGs are prone to employ product and prototype development along with support from professors. The study extends the knowledge about the search for collaborations of start-ups when pursuing different SDGs. In the practical domain, this research can encourage entrepreneurs to cooperate with universities in order to achieve their sustainable goals beyond incubation and acceleration. Additionally, it can also trigger universities to supply resources for supporting start-ups, especially social-driven ventures, to facilitate them to accomplish sustainability as well as to reach the third mission of universities in terms of supporting society.
