(2016) who discusses three levels of collaboration, low, high and deep, and links them to different knowledge exchange practices. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Definitions.net. Cohen, W. M., & Levinthal, D. A. Azevedo Ferreira, M. L., & Rezende Ramos, R. (2015). (2004). The extant literature and focus group-based studies covered 28% and 3% of primary studies. However, there are other ways for academics to ensure application of their knowledge these practices focus predominantly on knowledge exchange (Salter and Martin 2001; Alexander and Childe 2013). Innovation: A knowledge transfer perspective. The capability of firms to absorb new knowledge depends on the shared knowledge base of the academics and the firm employees. Corley, E. A., Boardman, P. C., & Bozeman, B. 1). k Use of the literature review to plan and conduct a study requires that you critically Coordination is often effected informally between project managers from both sides (Barnes et al. This can be justified when we follow the logic that academic engagement is a specific form of inter-organizational collaboration or alliance (see for example Galan-Muros and Plewa 2016). The need to go through the whole knowledge cycle in both phases distinguishes collaborative research from other learning processes. 42(2), 423442. 0 Knowledge that can be made explicit can be transferred through prototypes, formulas or manuals. MoU instead of formal contract, informal reporting), or as Powell et al. Sangwan, V., , H., Prakash, P. and Singh, S.

Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. For absorptive capacity, trust is foremost a mediating factor, because it increases the willingness to share knowledge. Cyert, R. M., & Goodman, P. S. (1997). Additionally, academic knowledge and expertise is valued higher than industrial knowledge. (2008) and literature that discussed such differences was therefore included. 2007; Wang and Lu 2007). To what extent might the strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and delimitations MeSH Furthermore, trust influences the formalization of communication. This, however, did not provide many useful results. Intermediaries mainly help to reduce cognitive differences, and experience primarily helps to resolve differences is goals. The next step was to analyse the papers we selected. Links and impacts: The influence of public research on industrial R D. Management Science, In high collaborations the firm contributes through the identification of research problems, grounding the design and data collection in the application context and by assisting academics in making decisions. Reduced ambiguity in return improves absorptive capacity and the understanding of the goals and needs of the partner. Estrada et al. We started our review with identifying barriers and facilitators . The ceiling to coproduction in universityindustry research collaboration. 10(1), 6588. Latin exstant-, exstans, present participle of exstare to stand out, be in existence, from ex- + stare to stand more at stand. This means that we will focus on research partnerships, collaborative research, contract research and consulting while collaborations with limited interaction or that require little or no new research are excluded. Web. L!n5B6z< dr:p ": Oy@9u[;&p2i>EpOh< Collaboration experience with the specific partner also increases trust in that the partner will handle sensitive information carefully. Second, there is a fear that academic partners, unintentionally, share sensitive knowledge with other companies, due to a lack of experience with handling sensitive knowledge (Ulhi et al. We searched in: titles, keywords and abstracts using the terms: Universitybusiness, universityindustry academic engagement and research partnership (other terms for university such as Academ* and Higher Education science did not yield additional results), combined with one of the terms collaborat*, cooperation*, partnership*, engage*, relation* research alliance*. 20(3), 272285. This study combined results from 75 papers on knowledge transfer to re-evaluate previous quantitative findings from inter- and intra-organizational studies. Over the past decades, research into academic engagement increased. Entrepreneurial universities and technology transfer: A conceptual framework for understanding knowledge-based economic development.

The numerical value of extant literature in Chaldean Numerology is: 3, The numerical value of extant literature in Pythagorean Numerology is: 6. Big data analytics capabilities: A systematic literature review and research agenda. Also, providing the industrial partner the possibility to delay the publication to arrange IP rights reduces this barrier (Hadjimanolis 2006). In spite of that, they are frequently mentioned as barrier, they are not well researched. Mowery, D. C., & Shane, S. (2002). 2014). A case study of SMEuniversity research collaboration in the context of a small peripheral country (Cyprus). Because industrial partners lack the time to dive into the data and feel unequipped to participate truly in the academic debate (McCabe et al. This was necessary as literature on research partnerships is widespread. We noticed that trust issues for research partnerships differ from those for business-to-business collaborations. Measuring the performance of research collaborations. 2016) and providing data and insight in the application context (Barnes et al. Zhu, F., & Hawk, S. (2015). 30(3), 509532. 43(4), 365380. They result in ambiguity, problems with knowledge absorption and difficulties with the application of knowledge. In S. Shane (Ed. 35(7), 975993. The relevance of ambiguity and absorptive capacity in the context of UI collaboration was confirmed by Santoro and Bierly (2006). financial industry, innovation/technology and law/regulation. This enables him to translate results which facilitate application and implementation (Gertner et al. This could be due to a difference in focus, as Ankrah and AL-Tabbaa (2015) focus on negotiations in the pre-collaboration phase and their data included many results related to academic entrepreneurship, while the papers we analysed focus on the execution of the project and research partnerships. In the following part we will discuss the findings from the literature we reviewed. The Canadian Journal of Sociology, 2013). 0000135970 00000 n Bridging the gap between university and industry: Three mechanisms for innovation efficiency. International Journal of Management Reviews, The paucity of extant data in GT studies is of concern as is the dearth of literature on methods of preparing extant data for analysis in GT studies. J Clin Nurs. This needs to be confirmed by future research. Inter-firm R&D partnerships: An overview of major trends and patterns since 1960. Although university income from academic engagement outranks income derived from selling intellectual property (IP) (Perkmann et al. If they are regularly updated they help to keep goals and research work aligned. We therefore included literature that discussed these factors, but also other forms of relational capital. 2015; Steinmo 2015; Wallin et al. When letters make sounds that aren't associated w One goose, two geese. The .gov means its official. Slider with three articles shown per slide. Geuna, A., & Muscio, A.

Creating effective universityindustry alliances: An organizational learning perspective. Academicpractitioner collaboration in management research: A case of cross-profession collaboration. 2012). The majority of the papers focuses on development and transfer of knowledge by the academic partner. 47(3), 400410. Academy of Management Journal, Industry and Innovation, 45(4), 830853. Knowledge transfer through rich, or interactive, media is preferred over indirect communication through reports, presentations, patents and so forth, as the latter are unable to transfer tacit knowledge (Alexander and Childe 2013; Sandberg et al. This requires the investment of time to develop a shared language and discourse (Al-Tabbaa and Ankrah 2016; Canhoto et al. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10961-018-9660-x, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10961-018-9660-x.

Our analysis offers practical advice for the management of academic engagement. Van Wijk, R., Jansen, J. J. P., & Lyles, M. A. In practice, the role of the industrial partner in data analysis and theory development is limited, even in deep collaborations. Making innovative use of academic knowledge to enhance corporate technology innovation impact. Design and the management of multi-institutional research collaborations: Theoretical implications from two case studies. Inkpen, A. C. (2000). Minerva, 47(1), 93114. Ancient literature comprises religious and scientific documents, tales, poetry and plays, royal edicts and declarations, and other forms of writing that were recorded on a variety of media, including stone, clay tablets, papyri, palm leaves, and metal. We therefore invite scholars to conduct more research into the relationships we proposed in our model. (2008) provided an interesting starting point for a more focused analysis, and integration of concepts. 2016; Mesny and Mailhot 2007; Plewa et al. A Comprehensive Review of Extant Research on Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Programs. Additionally, trust is reflected in the absence of formal control mechanisms. 37(7), 10191044. Mercy College New York. 22(7), 597624. 2011). 0 Ouzzani, M., Hammady, H., Fedorowicz, Z., & Elmagarmid, A. For each of the three topics we identified we will discuss the theoretical insights, their implications and the associated practices for successful knowledge transfer. Boundary spanners are often personnel that is exchanged between academia and industry during the course of the collaboration. Therefore, we recommend to carefully select knowledge partners and the persons who represent the company. Knowledge transfer in universityindustry research partnerships: a review. Because similarity in knowledge background is so important for absorptive capacity, we recommend that this is taken into account in partner selection. They sketch a much more dynamic exchange process, in which the industrial application of research outcomes directly influences academic research. They result in differences in language and different logics regarding what methods should be used. The use of project plans that outline goals and outcomes could facilitate this (Canhoto et al. 41(4), 464476. Technovation, Time orientation relates to differences in what is considered an acceptable period to reach goals, punctuality in meeting deadlines and the continuity of personnel (Barnes et al. Yet the trust scales used most frequently in the papers we reviewed are the ones intended for analysing business-to-business relations, developed by Saparito et al. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Administrative Science Quarterly, When tacit knowledge needs to be transferred this requires on the job training or the hiring of graduates who worked on the project. Chin, C. M. M., Yap, E. H., & Spowage, A. C. (2011). de Wit-de Vries, E., Dolfsma, W.A., van der Windt, H.J. implications of the extant research for charter schools and the US education system. In collaborations with low engagement the firm is seen as data source, while all research activities are controlled and conducted by the academic partner. Absorptive capacity: A new perspective on learning and innovation. In total we found about 890 unique papers. 1998). (2004). Polanyi, M. (1966). Sherwood and Covin (2008) found that trust is positively associated with tacit knowledge transfer, as trust increases open communication and the willingness to share knowledge. 2023 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. 2002). Zhu and Hawk (2015) show how academics at Stanford University and MIT (Michigan Institute for Technology) managed to maintain their academic freedom. 2011; Hadjimanolis 2006; Wallin et al. During the collaboration the quality of communication is important. (1996) call it, irrational. This paper aims to undertake a thematic review of academic papers on financial technology (FinTech) to identify three broad categories for the purpose of classifying extant literature. 2015). (2008) and relate them to literature on academic engagement. These differences can be handled through publication management and upfront arrangement of IP (intellectual property) rights (Azevedo Ferreira and Rezende Ramos 2015). Knowledge that has these characteristics is hard to identify, understand and transfer (ibid.). <<97E6A55745F74D43A4B0E2AFE32F05A4>]>> et al. Administrative Science Quarterly, In a CA, authors examine the main concepts, ideas and relationships of an issue presented by the extant literature, provide a critique, and in several cases, offer research propositions or a framework for future analysis. Experience with the collaboration partner has been found to mitigate problems relating to differences in goals, because it leads to more realistic expectations and better insight in the partners needs (Azevedo Ferreira and Rezende Ramos 2015; Steinmo 2015; Wallin et al. Michele ODwyer, Raffaele Filieri & Lisa OMalley, S. A. M. Dolmans, B. Walrave, N. van Stijn, Jos A. Alfaro-Tanco, Miguel Mediavilla & Amaya Erro-Garcs, Amalya L.

Contextual Positioning: Using Documents as Extant Data in Grounded Specifically, to understand where 37(2), 4448. There seems to be a need for future research to improve our understanding of how cultural differences are managed. This paper identifies practices that can facilitate knowledge transfer in university-industry (U-I) research partnerships by systematically reviewing extant literature. Login Zooming in and out: Studying practices by switching theoretical lenses and trailing connections. Research Policy, Amabile, T. M., Patterson, C., Mueller, J., Wojcik, T., Odomirok, P. W., Marsh, M., et al. While Muscio and Pozzali (2013) and Morandi (2013) found that more experience in interaction with firms does not change the perception of cognitive distance. The knowledge contribution from the industrial partner is reduced to formulating interesting research problems (DEste and Perkmann 2011; McCabe et al. 2002; Gertner et al. The role of relational trust in banksmall firm relationships. Research Policy, Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, The possibility for interactive discussion for the coordination of goals is important to keep industrial and academic expectations aligned (Johnson and Johnston 2004). Bringing together this literature on knowledge transfer enabled us to develop a stylised model that shows how different characteristics of knowledge transfer relate in the context of academic engagement (Fig. /S {X6X20Lu)Vsx mWL,;#Pe PX Before the spread of writing, oral literature did not always survive well, but some texts and fragments have persisted.

(2013). It is an aggregated term for various knowledge characteristics of which the tacit nature (Polanyi 1966), complexity and the limited possibilities for specification (Simonin 1999) are the most important. Journal of Management Studies, Though there is no well-defined process to find a gap in existing knowledge, your curiosity, creativity, imagination, and judgment can help you identify it. 0000189524 00000 n The exact number varies, depending on the purpose of the literature review and the extant literature.

Nurse Res. Trust also influences the contractual and organizational management of the collaboration. 41(1), 116145. 0000136159 00000 n Fear for a lack of common interests is reduced by building social capital, which includes, tie-strength, and collaboration experience with the particular partner (Pinheiro et al. They provide a space for deliberation and feedback which increases the comprehension of results (McCabe et al. The Journal of Technology Transfer, However, there is a need for more insight into the firms perspective on the involvement of students and Ph.D.s in research partnerships (Thune 2009), as most research discusses the academic perspective only. Mostly, because it reduces fear of opportunistic behaviour and, resultantly, increases the willingness to share information (Plewa et al. We used the following steps and criteria (see Fig. 2011; Morandi 2013). (2006). Bjerregaard, T. (2010). 30(1), 2144.

Bookshelf Cross Cultural and Strategic Management, His hypotheses is that in the case of radically new technologies knowledge is so different from existing knowledge that knowing how to organize the implementation of new technologies becomes more relevant. We found two promising lines of research. 44(2), 418431. Steinmo (2015), on the other hand, found that cognitive capital can be developed over time at the organizational level. The channels for communication during engagement are diverse and differ in their ability to transfer tacit knowledge and to deal with differences in knowledge backgrounds (Alexander and Childe 2013). Even though the literature review typically precedes the primary research study in most instances, it is very common for research to oscillate between the primary research study and the extant information. EXTANT | English meaning - Cambridge Dictionary 2002; Bjerregaard 2009; Sandberg et al. In this review we discuss which theoretical frames could deepen our understanding of universityindustry (UI) knowledge transfer, identify barriers and facilitators of knowledge transfer and use a practices perspective to identify ways to deal with these barriers. 12(5), 901918. We can identify a number of avenues for future research into knowledge transfer related to academic engagement.
