“…However, results from Figure 2 show a direct strong positive finding. Such a relationship is strongly confirmed by the research studies of Fernandes et al (2018) and Williams and Allard (2018), who emphasise the importance and effect of U-I-C in R&D on innovation. In fact, country economic strategies and policies have critical components that comprise of a balanced, mixed design relying on the presence of research associations, varied compositions of internal knowledge linked to salient R&D resources, which when all combined lead to economic success and regional innovation, according to Looy et al (2003).…”

“…It is apparent from our review of the literature and is noted by Simona and Salisteanu (2015) that high-income countries are affected by their R&D, innovation and human capital and these all reflect positively on countries' innovation. However, in the low-income category, none of these factors is adequate to anticipate higher innovation results (Fernandes et al, 2018). These findings are of great importance, as developed countries can achieve improved results in business excellence with less spending in R&D compared to developing countries.…”

“…The output of U-I-C in R&D affects the innovative process, product and technology (Fernandes et al, 2018). In research conducted on 141 universities in Taiwan, Maietta (2015) concludes that universities are motivated to create a U-I-C framework that engages students and staff in entrepreneurial events producing a climate of innovation and motivating innovation performance.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between university–industry collaboration (U-I-C) in research and development (R&D) and quality management and explore how the relationship is mediated by innovation. Design/methodology/approach Based on panel data consisting of 109 countries spanning over a five year period (2013-2017) this study investigates, through structural equation modelling, how this relationship is mediated by innovation. Findings The main finding is that there are positive significant direct effects between U-I-C and innovation and between innovation and international organization for standardization (ISO) 9001. Furthermore, the strength and significance of these relations are highly affected by the classification of income in these countries, which ranges from high and upper-middle to lower-middle categories. This paper concludes that countries in the high-income category have higher achievement in U-I-C in R&D, innovation and ISO 9001 when compared to the upper and lower-middle-income categories. Originality/value This paper demonstrates in the empirical study the value of collaboration in R&D between government, industry and academia, as it can encourage scientific research and contribute to quality management and innovation. This research is one of the very few studies to assess the country’s income classification effect on U-I-C in R&D, innovation and ISO 9001. It is recommended that more research is conducted on how countries not ranked in the high-income category could benefit from U-I-C in R&D to enhance innovation and quality management.

Risk Management in University–Industry R&D Collaboration Programs: A Stakeholder Perspective

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Current knowledge of risk management (RM) is mainly limited to single organizations. This paper investigates RM practices from a stakeholders’ perspective applicable to university–industry R&D collaboration (UIC) programs, a particular form of inter-organizational relationship. With a view to reducing the negative impact of risk associated with such UICs, and, as a result, increasing the success rate of the related programs and projects, an RM methodology has been developed from the perspective of the main stakeholders. The results reported here are based on a large-scale UIC between the Bosch Car Multimedia in Portugal and the University of Minho. Three research methods were applied in a complementary way: participant observation over seven years, analysis of various documents supporting the management of the programs and projects, and focus group involving seven key participants from different roles. The proposed RM methodology takes into account the three main stakeholders and their respective RM roles—Program Manager, Program and Project Management Officer, and Project Manager—and helps to manage the risks incurred by a UIC program while, at the same time, emphasizing the importance of taking the stakeholders’ perspective. In inter-organizational contexts, particularly in the case of university and industry, where there is a cultural gap between members, misunderstandings may occur about the role each key stakeholder should play. This paper provides a comprehensive guideline for the application of the methodology by means of a proposed set of specific RM practices. However, the research was conducted using a single case study, therefore limiting the results’ potential for generalization.

Human Capital as a Basis for the Development of a Modern University

et al. 2018

Modern world trends have a significant impact on the university and human capital as an important part of the university. From our point of view, an active process is currently underway and namely it is transition from a university-function, to a university-subject of change. Only a small amount of the university's academic staff have the necessary competences for the implementation of full-life projects and the ability to work in a project team, this is primarily due to the lack of soft-skills. In this regard, to assess the capitalization of the human resource in the university community, in this article propose to introduce the concept of capitalization index (CI), which takes into account the diversity of activities of the university staff (scientific work, teaching, interaction with students, etc.) and determines its effectiveness. This system allows us to supplement it with various components, depending on the trends of development of the university, and also shift the focus from one area to another (priority factor) and strengthen the significance of a certain type of activity (quality factor).
