“…The literature identifies various ways of processing this transfer of knowledge: the proximity and geo-graphic concentration of companies, research centres and related industries (Feldman, 1994;Storper and Scott, 1995;Audretsch et al, 2005;Koo, 2005;Goldstein and Drucker, 2006); the level of university expenditure on research (Varga, 2000); social networks (Breschi and Lissoni, 2007); and cooperation between companies (Gebrekidan and Awuah, 2002).…”

Knowledge is increasingly perceived as a fulcral factor to company competitiveness. As the transfer of knowledge is one of the key functions of knowledge intensive business services (KIBS), this research seeks to analyse how the transfer of knowledge takes place between the higher education sector and KIBS type firms. The empirical results show that cooperation between KIBS and universities occurs irrespective of the typology (whether professional or technological in focus). We also empirically establish how geographic proximity is the factor bearing greatest influence over cooperation while such cooperation proves to have a positive impact on the company capacity to innovate. We furthermore find that this innovation capacity also drives a positive company financial performance.

“…Many rationales and justifications were offered for inter-firm relationships such as strategic alliances. These included the ability for partner firms to acquire knowledge [19], share risks [20], access markets [21], spread costs [22], pool resources [23], and achieve strategic objectives [24].…”

Part 2: Regular PapersInternational audienceEnterprise modeling frameworks are concerned with the representation of social phenomena and researchers have proposed a number of notations and techniques for depicting social behaviors. However, coopetition, which is a specific type of social interaction, has not been explored in the enterprise modeling literature. Coopetition, which refers to simultaneous cooperation and competition, has been studied extensively in the social sciences where conceptual theorizing and empirical fieldwork have established it as a prominent field of research. It is regularly observed in dealings between many kinds of enterprises, such as businesses and governments, where it has been analyzed at both inter- as well as intra-organizational levels. Coopetition is especially relevant for enterprise modeling because goal alignment/convergence can yield cooperation among actors while goal conflict/divergence can lead to competition among actors. In this paper we (a) present an overview of academic research into coopetition, (b) discuss the requirements for representing coopetition, and (c) propose future work that will be relevant for the modeling and analysis of cooperation, competition, and coopetition between enterprises

Este artigo investiga a interação universidade-empresa no Brasil, utilizando informações reportadas pelo diretório dos grupos de pesquisa (GPs) do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). A amostra foi composta por informações de 2.623 empresas e 1.663 grupos de pesquisa (GPs), sendo estes distribuídos em 193 instituições de ciência e tecnologia (ICTs). Para esta, foi conduzida uma análise de redes sociais, na qual foi possível identificar padrões de interações entre empresas e ICTs nas diferentes áreas do conhecimento: diferiram em quantidadede atores e convênios - tamanho e estrutura da rede, mas foram similares em nos principais tipos de relacionamento. Pelo caráter da amostra, asuniversidades públicas mostraram-se como principais atores nucleadores. Ademais, alguns destes atores se repetem como nucleadores em diferentes áreas do conhecimento.Company-university interaction network in Brazil: an analysis of social networksAbstract: This article investigates the interaction university-firm in Brazil, using information reported by directory of research groups from CNPq. The sample wascomposed of information from 2,623 firms and 1,663 research groups (GPs), these being distributed in 193 institutions of science and technology (ICTs). For this,was conducted an analysis of social networks, in which it was possible to identify patterns of interactions between firms and ICTs in the different fields of knowledge:differ in amount of actors and edges - size and structure of the network, but were similar in on the main types of relationship. By the character of the sample, the public universities showed as main core actors. In addition, some of these core actors are repeated in different fields of knowledge.Key-words: technological change; firm-university interaction; social network analysis.JEL: O30, O32, C69.
