The author examines the case of the University of Warwick and its institutional strategies for partnership with a variety of external organizations. He argues that universities need to change their missions, and to show strong leadership and an enterpreneurial approach to adapt to their local, national and international markets. In particular, the paper looks at the considerable success of the Warwick Manufacturing Group in developing training programmes and research in partnership with industry.

Analyze of university-industry-research cooperation’s characteristics which the university is the main target, and each case has been specifically addressed, characteristics of the cooperation were discussed, and detailed analysis of the relationship between the characteristics of the main features of each. From the perspective of their own cooperation feature, further discusses the characteristics of cooperation.

This chapter describes the Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) program, its genesis, operations, record, and impact. Founded in 1987, MIPS provides funding, matched by participating companies, for university-based research projects that help Maryland companies develop new products. Startup companies find the program attractive in leveraging their scarce resources in a non-dilutive, non-debt manner and effective in enlisting expert faculty and students in developing their company products. The State of Maryland finds the MIPS program attractive because of its significant economic impact and its high-multiple return of tax dollars to the State. The University System of Maryland faculty have embraced the program for the industry collaborations created and research funding provided. The effectiveness of the MIPS program is greatly enhanced by Maryland's robust innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem built up over decades, a build-up whose acceleration coincided with the 1983 creation of MIPS' parent organization, now known as the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute.

The preceding three chapters showed how changes in the policy environment, driven by a newfound political concern with innovation, allowed specific market-oriented practices to grow and spread across universities in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This chapter examines how the market logic embodied in those practices became increasingly influential throughout academic science during the 1980s. The success of biotech entrepreneurship, university patenting, and university-industry research centers encouraged additional experiments with and expansions of market-logic activity, only some of which were successful. The 1980s also saw a new wave of expansion of older market-oriented activities, like research parks, that had stagnated during the 1970s.

This chapter examines the development of a new market-logic practice in academic science, namely the creation of university–industry research centers. It begins by reviewing the origins of this practice, then tracks its early development as well as limits to its growth and spread. It then goes on to examine policy decisions that removed these limits and replaced them with incentives, and considers how political concern with the economic impact of innovation contributed to these decisions. The chapter concludes with a look at the subsequent takeoff of this practice, followed by a discussion of the conditions that appear to have been necessary for this takeoff to occur.
