“…Hayter (2016) finds that social networks of faculty and graduate entrepreneurs drive the growth of university entrepreneurial ecosystems. Meng et al (2019) evidence how knowledge transfer from the direction of university to industry evolves across different phases of academic entrepreneurship within an ecosystem.…”

Collaboration between industry and academia necessitates the management of entrepreneurial dynamics within ecosystem contexts. However, such partnerships perpetuate numerous challenges that, without effective management, can impact upon the ecosystem as a whole. Limited research to date has addressed the challenges affecting these university-industry partnerships and ascertained their impact upon ecosystem management. This study identifies the challenges pervading university-industry partnerships across entrepreneurial ecosystems, with a view that through an exposition of such challenges, more specific strategies could be implemented to address them. Questionnaires were distributed to key ecosystem stakeholders, requesting their perceptions of the key challenges affecting their collaborative relationships. Empirical data was analysed utilising fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to deduce the configurational nature of the conditions. Results reveal mutually exclusive solutions grounded upon distinct combinations of conditions, constituting distinct pathways to ineffective ecosystem management. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, as well as acknowledged limitations of this study and suggestions for future research.

“…It makes academics earn personal income, gain awareness of general economic needs and orient their research towards applied goals. It may connect them to industrial researchers with specialised frontier knowledge, and widen their network so that more opportunities to raise funding and find professional exits for their students and collaborators arise (Meyer-Krahmer and Schmoch, 1998;Balconi and Laboranti, 2006;Meng et al, 2019;Henningsson and Geschwind, 2019). For firms, interaction with universities may bring familiarity with state-ofthe-art ideas, the chance to sub-contract specialised scientific work which would be too costly to develop in-house, or indirect benefits derived from signalling the ability to collaborate: attraction of good scientists, strategic alliances with other firms and a better position to get R&D grants (Santoro and Chakrabarti, 2002;Maietta, 2015;Guerrero et al, 2019).…”

Fiction lagging behind or non-fiction defending the indefensible? University–industry (et al.) interaction in science fiction

University-industry interaction has supporters and detractors in the scholarly literature. Whereas policymakers have mainly joined the former, science fiction authors have predominantly enrolled the latter. We illustrate how the genre has been critical to university-industry interaction via the analysis of the most positively acclaimed novels from the 1970s to date. We distinguish the analytical dimensions of type of conflict, and innovation helices involved other than university (industry, government, society). By doing so, we merge two streams of literature that had not encountered before: university-industry interaction and representations of science in popular culture. A methodological novelty is the creation of an objective corpus of the literature to increase external validity. Insights include the relevance of the time context, with milder views or disinterest on university-industry interaction in science fiction works after the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act; and the lack of an academic or policy narrative about the benefits of university-industry interaction so convincing as to permeate into popular culture. Discourse is crucial for legitimising ideas, and university-industry interaction may have not found the most appropriate yet.

“…Although the resource-based view and knowledge-based view have developed rich conceptual arguments rapidly in recent years, knowledge management (KM) scholars realize that it is still a big challenge for firms to integrate and transform data into useful innovation resources, and for them to create, acquire, and apply knowledge for sustainable firm innovation and performance [5,11]. Current literature of knowledge management has investigated a multiple of factors in knowledge management, including organization level [22,23], individual level [24], and the impact that industry or environment relationships have on a firm's knowledge management [25].…”

How to exploit the precipitated internal and external knowledge to build dynamic capability in the era of big data remains a big challenge for innovation and business sustainability. This paper documents a novel perspective to address this challenge by exploring the double screen innovation knowledge management practice in Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd. (COMAC). Drawing from the literature on knowledge management and knowledge-based view, this paper elaborates how the new type of knowledge management practice represented by the case of Double Screen Innovation (DSI) in COMAC could help enterprise build sustainable core competence, which provides new perspective for multi-level knowledge management towards business sustainability. DSI, as a novel way of knowledge management, optimizes the micro-level knowledge co-creation and sharing and macro-level organizational learning mechanisms to accelerate the knowledge accumulation and dissemination within the organization. The process of knowledge creation, transformation, and application helps to integrate and transform big data into useful business information, thus provides an endless driving force conducive to the establishment and promotion of the core competencies of enterprises.
