“…One of several ways through which HEIs can improve employability among built environment students is to foster collaborations with the construction industry. According to several researchers, university and construction industry collaborations (UIC) fosters the diffusion of knowledge, improves research and development (R&D) and create patent opportunities, thereby contributing to the economic development of any society (Ankrah et al , 2013; Chaves et al , 2016; Aliu and Aigbavboa, 2018). Also, UIC provides several opportunities for students to attain work experience which is made possible due to effective collaborations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impacts of university and construction industry collaborations (UIC) activities in developing the employability of built environment graduates. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a quantitative approach wherein data was obtained from professionals across academia, construction industry and government establishment within the South African built environment. A total of 204 questionnaires were administered to these professionals to provide information regarding the subject matter under question. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was adopted to examine possible relationships among identified factors that were obtained from a review of extant literature. SEM was performed using analysis of moment structures (AMOS Graphics, version 26) in testing the model and a best-fit was achieved after various model selections and validation tests were conducted. Findings The final model revealed that graduate employability can be improved through UIC as effective university-industry linkages provide students with mentoring opportunities and exposure to relevant training which improves their job market prospects and ultimately increases their professional relevance in the long run. Practical implications To continuously enhance the employability of students before graduation, universities are required to foster collaborations with the industry as such linkages are critical to the development of the future custodians of the construction industry. Originality/value There have been several generalized statements as to which of the UIC activities contribute to graduate employability. Therefore, through the use of SEM using AMOS, it was possible to state precisely the UIC constructs that are statistically significant and contribute to graduate employability.

“…A survey by Chaves et al (2015) of 1,005 research group leaders at Brazilian universities showed that firms do not usually seek interactions with these institutions in order to obtain high-level research and experimental development. According to them, the most common channels of knowledge transfer from universities to firms are training of human resources, consulting activities, and the provision of routine services such as measuring, testing, and quality control.…”

“…However, they argued that the performance of Brazil's universities was impaired by poor 268 de negri & vianna rauen performance on the part of the KTOs: "[A] significant fraction of Brazilian academic patent applications remains abandoned due to the lack of specialized staff to help in writing and to shepherd the application through the patenting process in universities." Along with the launch of the Industrial Property Law (1996) and the Innovation Act ( 2004), Chaves et al (2015) consider that the Brazilian government has implemented other important measures to stimulate university-industry interactions since the mid-1990s, including the establishment of new lines of S&T funding such as the abovementioned Sectoral Funds and the use of tax breaks for firms that propose joint R&D projects with universities and public research institutes.…”

This book represents a major step towards reaching a systematic approach to the measurement of knowledge transfer practices and outcomes." hu zhijian, President, Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development "Unlike most existing work in this area, this book emphasizes that firms benefit from academic research not only through formal but also more informal channels and from open science, and that there are tensions, as well as complementarities, between these two." bhaven sampat, Associate Professor, Columbia University "Enabling access to cutting-edge research is vital to tackling the challenges countries face, and for policymakers, it is thus ever more important to identify which knowledge transfer practices work and which do not. This research is critical in this regard." pippa hall, Director of Innovation and Chief Economist, Intellectual Property Office, United Kingdom "This book does an excellent job of identifying key metrics that should be measured by knowledge transfer offices."

Сибирский государственный аэрокосмический университет им. академика М.Ф. Решетнева, г. Красноярск, Россия ПРЕДПОСЫЛКИ И ПРИЗНАКИ ИНТЕГРАЦИИ ВЫСШЕЙ ШКОЛЫ В МИРОВОЕ ИННОВАЦИОННОЕ ПРОСТРАНСТВОАннотация. Становление инновационной экономики носит глобальный характер и сопровождается ростом численности инновационно-ориентированных объектов не только в отдельно взятой стране или группе развитых стран, но их пространственным расширением по всему миру при одновременном формировании глобального инновационного пространства на базе меж-и наднационального инновационного процесса. Под влиянием объективных процессов инноватизации и глобализации инновационной сферы кардинально меняется роль высшей школы, которая становится одним из субъектов создания и продвижения инноваций в глобальном масштабе. Исследованию высшей школы как субъекта мирового инновационного пространства посвящена данная статья. В статье рассматриваются проблемы интеграции высшей школы в мировое инновационное пространство. Целью исследования является выявление предпосылок, обусловливающих формирование субъектности высшей школы в качестве одного из участников глобальных инновационных отношений, а также описание основных признаков интеграции высшей школы в мировое инновационное пространство. В качестве методологии исследования использованы положения системного подхода, позволяющие рассматривать интеграцию высшей школы в мировое инновационное пространство в виде сложной модели, в которой система высшей школы является частью системы более высокого порядка, а именно системы мирового инновационного пространства. Это позволило выделить совокупность исходных условий, или предпосылок интеграции, являющихся причиной возникновения результирующих признаков интеграции. Особое внимание уделено анализу международной инновационной деятельности некоторых ведущих университетов мира, которые в определенной степени можно было бы охарактеризовать как вузы, интегрированные в мировое инновационное пространство. Результатом работы стала структуризация предпосылок и признаков интеграции высшей школы в мировое инновационное пространство, позволяющая расширить научную базу практической деятельности отечественных вузов, направленной на формирование конкурентных преимуществ в сфере глобальных инноваций, а также на решение актуальной задачи создания в России университетов мирового уровня.Ключевые слова: инноватизация высшей школы; интеграционные процессы в мировом инновационном пространстве; признаки субъектности высшей школы в мировом инновационном пространстве.
