“…We introduce additional hypotheses to capture the effect on innovation of firmuniversity partnerships, echoing the findings of an important research stream on the meaningful role of universities for fostering innovation (Etzkowitz and Leydersdorff, 2000;Woerter, 2012;Bozeman et al, 2013;Breznitz and Feldman, 2013;Fukugawa, 2013). Specifically, the role of the university is analyzed in depth within the STI type of collaborations developed by firms (as opposed to other innovation agents such as technology centers and research excellence centers).…”

“…the 'triple helix' approach in which it catalyzes the effective interaction for innovation between the government and the business sector or the society as a whole (Etzkowitz and Leydersdorff, 2000;Breznitz and Feldman, 2013). According to several authors (Woerter, 2012;Bozeman et al, 2013;Fukugawa, 2013;Hewitt-Dundas, 2013), the university is expected to act as an agent that both interacts voluntarily and directly with companies at the same time that it also generates knowledge spillovers that are indirectly captured by those and other agents (i.e., small firms) (Audretsch, 2013).…”

STI–DUI learning modes, firm–university collaboration and innovation

In this study, the relationship between the use of collaborative agreements and the firm's innovation output is examined. Firms may innovate using partnerships linked to a "science and technology-based" (STI) mode of learning, as well as partnerships linked to a "learning-by-doing, by-using and by-interacting-based' (DUI) mode of learning. Within this view, universities are important STI partners that provide flows of science and technology driven knowledge leading to innovation. A fixed-effects logit estimation is applied on an extensive panel of Spanish manufacturing and service firms to analyze the separate and combined impact of collaborative agreements associated to STI and/or DUI modes of learning, with a special emphasis on the role of partnerships with universities. Even though STI and DUI partnerships are both important for product and process innovations, the results demonstrate that different types of collaboration are related to different types of innovation. While product innovation benefits more from the combination of DUI and STI partnerships, process innovation is more closely related to DUI partnerships. Apart from that, collaborations with universities, in combination with DUI partners, leads to a higher likelihood of product innovation. In contrast, process innovations are less dependent on collaborations with universities than on collaborations with other STI partners.

“…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). However, as the capturing of direct and particularly indirect effects of partner proximity remains challenging, researchers are encouraged to develop alternative outcome indicators to reliably estimate the effects of partner proximity in the context of joint R&D activities Fukugawa 2013). Moreover, our review points to the benefits of focusing the distance perspective research on partner centrality and closeness.…”

Mapping the field: a bibliometric analysis of the literature on university–industry collaborations

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 differences lie in the ways in which knowledge is generated, which range from social pressure on economic entities to the geographic proximity of the parties involved, public policies and the growing demand for knowledge. They also propose that the economy has gone from being driven by physical capital to being fueled by intellectual capital (Audretsch et al, 2013;Bozeman et al, 2013;Fromhold-Eisebith & Werker, 2013;Fukugawa, 2013;Bolling & Eriksson, 2016). Audretsch (2014), in turn, proposes that the role of universities in society (the emergence of business universities in response to demands by the forces that shape economic growth and performance), focuses its goals on providing solutions to the specific problems of society.…”
