Abstract: Although the literature on university-industry links has begun to uncover the reasons for, and types of, collaboration between universities and businesses, it offers little explanation of ways to reduce the barriers in these collaborations. This paper seeks to unpack the nature of the obstacles to collaborations between universities and industry, exploring influence of different mechanisms in lowering barriers related to the orientation of universities and to the transactions involved in work with university p… Show more

“…This dilemma is likely to be particularly prominent in relationships between industrial firms and PROs, in which dissimilarity can be regarded as substantial due to the tension between academic and commercial activities (Ambos et al, 2008). Collaborative tensions and barriers between firms and PROs have been acknowledged in the literature; however, it is necessary to better understand the factors that mitigate or reduce these barriers over time (Bruneel et al, 2010). It is likely that further knowledge concerning how firms and PROs can mitigate collaborative challenges will contribute important implications for how collaborative firms and PRO partners can benefit more from university-industry collaboration and thereby increase their ability to create innovation capabilities.…”

“…A mutual lack of understanding concerning working practices and expectations has been found to be a barrier to university-industry collaboration (Bruneel et al, 2010), and building cognitive social capital may be a way to overcome this challenge.…”

“…Finally, a further area of future analysis that would facilitate an improved understanding of knowledge-based urban development is to open the 'black box' on these types of networks in order to examine the partner selection process and the operational functioning of such networks (Bodas Freitas et al 2013;Bruneel et al 2010). …”

“…Enterprise managers often engage on these collaborative projects, accepting the need to create transitory CoPs as a discursive strategy, not really instinctively buying-in to need for it (Swan, Scarbrough et al 2002). Previous general research on university-business collaboration have identified trust as one of the strongest mechanisms for lowering the barriers to effective interaction, but have not identified where trust is important o rat what phase of the collaboration (Bruneel, D'Este et al 2010). This study identifies it as being particular important during phase 1 & 2, and particularly between enterprise manager and associate, again stressing the pivotal role that the associate plays in negotiating this trust and its impact on their ability to deliver on the tangible deliverables (increased revenue and profitability).…”
