“…For example, US universities (Fisch et al, 2014) have strengthened their position as leading universities in the world through close interaction with industries. European universities are possibly still stuck in their traditional roles as sources of social capital which does not embody commercial breakthroughs.…”

This paper introduces findings from a 2-year commercialisation project, KnoPro, where a Finnish university and few life science companies together with a number of intermediary organisations searched for business opportunities for academic research. The data of this intensive case study are organised in narrative episodes in which the actors attached versatile meanings to commercialisation. The episodes illustrate how academics approach commercialisation from the research perspective without true commercial efforts. They prioritise research and teaching ahead of commercialisation which constitutes a challenge for commercialisation. According to this study, successful commercialisation necessitates thinking in business terms, e.g. researchers should learn to use sales arguments when promoting their research.

“…According to Lynch & Baines (2004), the reputation of a university can be measured by the results of research that obtain a patent. Patents are related to the publication-quality (Fisch et al 2015). Therefore, publication quality is determined by the quality of the research conducted.…”

This study aims to test whether the expertise of human resources and the availability of infrastructure, can improve the reputation of universities. The variables were developed from the theory of Resources Based View (RBV). Furthermore, the development of these variables is described with Infrastructure, human resource skills, and reputation in increasing the competitiveness of universities. The data collection method used was questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire was prepared using the three variables in the study, namely human resources skills, infrastructure, and university reputation. The respondents of this study were 230 people. The respondent's profession as a whole is a lecturer. The questionnaire in this study used a measurement scale called the Likert scale. Subsequently, the data from the questionnaire was processed using Partial Least Square (PLS). Based on data collection, the results found human resources skills related to the reputation of the university. Infrastructure affects the strength of reputation and human resources skills. The results of this study show human resources skills and infrastructure greatly affect the reputation of universities. This is due to the ability of human resources supported by infrastructure will increase the competitiveness of the university.

Social networks are increasingly considered to be influential in explaining the knowledge transfer process. Despite scholarly efforts to integrate knowledge transfer and social network research, we lack understanding on how knowledge transfer networks emerge and evolve. We draw upon resource dependency theory and inter-organizational networks and collect patent data of 42 Double-First Class (DFC) universities to study structural properties of the Chinese university knowledge transfer network over time. Our results point to the existence of an increasingly complex yet remarkably efficient network. Universities and co-patent collaborations emerge in the network and act as knowledge bridges between other universities. The network moves from an early-stage single-centered network to a mature multi-centered network through a power-law pattern. Such movement allows for an aggregation phenomenon to appear as oligopolistic communities emerge and rule the network. While knowledge is more easily shared and accessible within communities, their existence also brings along control over knowledge bases embedded in those communities. Key universities take central positions within the expanding network, which allows them to gain control and easier access to knowledge. It also hints that it might be difficult for other DFC universities to become key players in the network. On an inter-regional level, our findings point to steadily increasing knowledge transfer activity, which is key to overcome the underdevelopment of some Chinese regions. Overall, this paper contributes to our understanding on the theoretical connection between knowledge transfer and social network dynamics, on how universities evolve through knowledge transfer networks, and on how their embeddedness translates into knowledge control, knowledge access, and knowledge bridges.
