“…In accordance with this research stream, the impact of spatial proximity on the innovation and technology creation, as well as the regional developments, is a prime focus area ). However, the empirical studies of partner proximity studies report mixed results, which can be attributed to the interlinkages between different types of partner proximities, in addition to other partner technological and relation attributes (Muscio and Pozzali 2013;Petruzzelli 2011). Therefore, partner proximity is a multifaceted cluster exploring the interplay of partner proximities in conjunction with the partner absorptive capacity and exploitative/explorative capabilities (Bishop et al 2011).…”

“…The academic understanding of U-I partnership's evolvement and outcomes may benefit from exploring the interplay of different types of proximities and associated dynamics (Muscio and Pozzali 2013;Presutti et al 2017). Here, future studies could further examine whether and how a specific type of proximity can foster the development of other proximity types-for example, spatial proximity may lead to social proximity-as well as whether one type of proximity may replace another depending on the context in which the U-I collaboration is embedded (Crescenzi et al 2017).…”

The substantial acknowledgement of university-industry (U-I) collaborations as promotor of economic progress, innovativeness and competitiveness fostered a continuous research engagement. At the same time, the U-I literature experienced a notable increase in the past decade, transforming into a multi-faceted and ambiguous research field, characterised by highly complex interlinks. The recent transformation hinders a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments in research directions and their clear delineation. Therefore, the purpose of this bibliometric literature review is to examine the evolution of the field and identify the primary emerging patterns. This paper employs co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling techniques to analyse the U-I publications dataset. The findings indicate that the U-I collaborations research can be systematically clustered, resulting in an interconnected ecosystem consisting of three levels: individual, organisational and institutional, respectively. Thus, this review presents the immense contribution that the analysis of U-I collaborations makes to various research streams. Building on these findings and employing qualitative content analysis on the clustered publications, the paper develops a research agenda that encourages future investigations of previously overlooked features of U-I collaborations in general, and their role across levels of analysis, contexts and stages of the collaboration process in particular.

“…The more complex is an invention, and thus its absorption difficult, the more difficult becomes inter-institutional transfer (Petruzzelli, 2011;Czarnitzki et al, 2012;Woerter, 2012;Muscio and Pozzali, 2013). In a technological landscape where most patents are owned by the private sector, the picture could appear grim for the diffusion of complex inventions resulting from public sector research.…”

Document publié chez l'éditeur commercialDocument issued by the commercial publisher Mention légale:Legal notice:In all cases accepted manuscripts should link to the formal publication via its DOI AbstractThis article explores whether the relationship between the breath of technological integration (recombination distance) and the breath of an invention's subsequent application (basicness) is moderated by the sector of activity (private or public), sciencelinkage strength and industry characteristics. Our analysis of Canadian nanotechnology patents granted between 1990 and 1997 shows that although private organizations generally yield smaller rates of basic inventions than public organizations, increases to recombination distance by the former increases invention basicness at a higher rate; increasing reliance upon basic science moderates the relationship between recombination distance and basicness; and increases to recombination distance in emerging sciencebased industries increases invention basicness at a higher rate. These findings have implications regarding the debate around the efficiency of the academic enterprise model. organizations, increases to recombination distance by the former increases invention basicness at a higher rate; increasing reliance upon basic science moderates the relationship between recombination distance and basicness; and increases to recombination distance in emerging science-based industries increases invention basicness at a higher rate.

Technological innovation drives competitiveness and productivity of nations. The university-enterprise relationship (RUE) is determinant for the generation of an efficient innovation. The entrepreneur-researcher binomial (E-R) is the core process research and development (R & D) and technology transfer and knowledge (TTK). Despite efforts to improve RUE, little has been done to strengthen the relationship between E-R. This study confirms the existence of a gap between entrepreneur and researcher (ERG), it allows us to understand the importance of empathy in collaboration and identify factors affecting the relationship. The data were obtained by the exploratory and transversal approach, through interviews and questionnaires Likert. The sample consisted of expert researchers who have participated in joint innovation projects with entrepreneurs. The results indicate that 75% of researchers surveyed perceive the existence of an ERG under collaborative R & D and TTK. 78% of scientists see empathy as a significant variable for joint projects. The study revealed that only 16% of the factors affecting RUE influence the relationship of the binomial E-I significantly.
