Science-based innovation in universities and diffusion through university-industry linkages are the keys to strengthening national innovation capability, especially for emerging markets. This chapter provides a critical overview of China’s innovation and technology transfer between the university and industry in the context of globalization and the new industrial revolution. By doing this, the chapter attempts to provide critical insights for relevant stakeholders—whether they be researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, government officials, investors, or international organizations—in China’s development, innovation, and technology transfer. The chapter illustrates three aspects related to China’s innovation and technology transfer in comparison with other major players in the field. Then it further analyzes the drivers and challenges of China’s science-based innovation and university technology transfer for understanding the future of China’s innovation and technology transfer.

Both university and industry are key actors of the national innovation system (NIS) of any country (OECD (1997) National Innovation Systems, OECD Publishing, Paris). Not only does the university or industry contribute to the knowledge production and transformation in the NIS as an individual actor but also the collaboration between these two institutions is increasingly a critical component of the NIS. This is truly illustrated either in developed countries or in developing ones. This article first reviews the current status of NIS in Vietnam to see the contribution of Vietnamese universities in knowledge transfer. Second, it describes the collaboration between university and industry in Vietnam by presenting the findings of a survey of 570 respondents, who are teaching at five Vietnamese technical and engineering universities to better understand the different types of university-industry (U–I) collaboration and motivations of and barriers to the university and industry linkage in Vietnam. Based on such findings, some recommendations to promote the university and industry linkage in research and technology transfer are proposed for the university, the industry and the government so that the Vietnam’s NIS will have more impact on economic development.

Two phenomena are converging on the American technological scene which offer challenging implications and opportunities to engineering education. The first relates to the impacts of the wave of small, entrepreneurial companies emerging on the American industrial scene. The second relates to recent developments in university structure and policy innovations to promote university/industry linkages and regional economic growth. Entrepreneurship is encroaching into academic life and policies and could well become a dynamic feature of the university world and its technology transfer activities.

The author examines a number of schemes and programmes that promote technology transfer and industrial R&D through university—industry linkages. He identifies the creation of receptor capacities, the establishment of networks of technology transfer and the adoption of appropriate science and technology policies as key elements in the success of such linkages.

Abstract The biopharmaceutical industry has been undergoing change for a number of years and that change is accelerating.  Larger pharmaceutical companies are acquiring smaller ones, companies are merging, laboratories are being closed, and the number of scientists performing research in the pharmaceutical industry is declining.  Overall, commercial industry, including the biotechnology industry, is becoming more interested in the benefits of collaboration with research institutions.Universities are also changing their view of relationships with industry.  Shrinking federal budgets are causing universities to look at other sources of revenue, including collaborations with industry.  Federal and state governments are also looking closely at the benefits of sponsoring university research, and in particular are seeking to accelerate commercialization of university discoveries not only to obtain the benefit of invested research dollars, but also for economic development and job growth.  Universities, and in particular university technology transfer offices, must understand these changes and adapt to them. This paper discusses the university/industry relationships, and the particular issues important to universities which shape that interface.

This study is based on visits made in 1975 to ten universities in the European Community, with the assistance of a short study-visit grant from the Commission of the European Community. The objectives of the investigation were to study the situation of a sample of the universities in other Community countries with which the University of Hull had a partnership agreement and to ascertain what changes were taking place in the three fields of student affairs, staff affairs and research and institutional attitudes and policies.

Universities play pivotal roles when research findings are to be adopted commercially. Although these roles vary from one country to another, effective patenting and licensing procedures, as well as eventual commercialisation of scholarly inventions, reflect hard work on the part of the University mediating between the researcher and the industry through technology transfer offices (TTOs) in order to ensure that knowledge-developers take motivational and monetary credit for their findings. This paper details some existing models, processes, and roles taken up in some countries where sharing of intellectual property exists, and links it up with aspects of university–industry technology transfer, such as policies surrounding patenting, government investment and marketing, and the process of academic entrepreneurship, among others. 22 articles were found via a systematic review of literature and analysed with respect to four identified areas of focus: internal strategy, investment and market, academic entrepreneurship and policy. Based on models, processes, and roles in reviewed studies, our results indicate that new models for technology transfer mainly stem from the fact that there is no universally accepted model in the literature. Furthermore, management of technology transfer is mostly the responsibility of TTOs in most countries. While university TTOs act as intermediaries to protect the interest of the author/inventor, issues such as poor relationships between universities and industry, as well as funding, remain major challenges in many emerging economies. In contrast, researchers in western economies are mainly challenged by financial motivation and recognition within the academic domains.

As If

Research on technology transfer, industrial liaison, cooperative research and other forms of cooperation between universities and industry tend to concentrate on the links between universities and firms as if they were the only players in the game. Thus typically, academic and policy literature describes the process of such collaboration, the organizational, legal, administrative arrangements and settings, the factors that enhance, or conversely, impede cooperation, and the outcomes, projected and real, that are attributed to the university—industry cooperation. This article, starting from a different premise, looks into university—industry liaison from the perspective of a regional system of innovation, identifying various institutions in such a system, and their communication and interaction. It is in this framework that the role of universities and the process of technology transfer is analysed.
