“…Yet as the multiplex nature of university-industry relationships is increasingly recognized, attention has shifted to forms of interaction that involve direct collaboration between academics and industry (Cohen et al, 2002;Perkmann and Walsh, 2007). Such collaboration encompasses licensing with inventor collaboration (Agrawal, 2006), university-industry research centres (Adams et al, 2001) and collaborative research (Behrens and Gray, 2001). …”

“…Some authors report positive feedback effects between research productivity and involvement with industrial partners (Mansfield, 1995;Van Looy et al, 2004). Others are sceptical as they point to the detractive effects of industry collaboration for academic research (Behrens and Gray, 2001;Slaughter and Leslie, 1997). Surveys also suggest that at least some academics hesitate to engage with industry, fearing that commercial orientation might distract from academic relevance (Howells et al, 1998;Lee, 1996).…”

“…One study that used a stratified sample of graduate students from the same two engineering departments at six U.S. universities found that "the results failed to support claims that sponsorship by industry negatively affects student experiences or outcomes," and that there was no statistically significant difference in levels of academic freedom between industry-sponsored research projects and others. 461 how cAn the educAtIon system better move our students' InnovAtIons Into the mArketplAce?…”

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank at the cutting edge of designing innovation policies and exploring how advances in information technology will create new economic opportunities to improve the quality of life. Nonprofit, and nonpartisan, ITIF offers pragmatic ideas that break free of economic philosophies born in eras long before the first punch card computer and well before the rise of modern China. ITIF, founded in 2006, is dedicated to conceiving and promoting new ways of thinking about technology-driven productivity, competitiveness, and globalization for the 21st century.ITIF publishes policy reports, holds forums and policy debates, advises elected officials and their staff, and provides an active resource for the media. It develops new and creative policy proposals, analyzes existing policy issues through the lens of bolstering innovation and productivity, and advocates against policies that hinder digital transformation and innovation. The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

“…Although the amount may appear relatively low, the proportion increases if the public matchfunding provided for many industrial projects are included, with Behrens and Gray (2001) estimating that industrial funding directly influences approximately 20-25 per cent of research funding at universities. Therefore, industrial funding has become a significant driver of university performance in the knowledge-based economy.…”

Networks, Space and Organizational Performance: A Study of the Determinants of Industrial Research Income Generation by Universities

This paper examines the extent to which both network structure and spatial factors impact on the organisational performance of universities as measured by the generation of industrial research income. Drawing on data concerning the interactions of universities in the UK with large R&D-intensive firms, the paper employs both social network analysis and regression analysis. The analysis finds that the structural position of a university within networks with large R&D-intensive firms is significantly associated with the level of research income gained from industry. Spatial factors, on the other hand, are not found to be clearly associated with performance, suggesting that universities operate on a level playing field across regional environments once other factors are controlled for.
