Journal Article
Enhancing University–Industry collaboration: the role of intermediary organizations
2022
Overview
We evaluate the role of intermediary organizations in fostering University–Industry (U–I) joint R&D by examining the characteristics of firms that interact with universities via these organizations vis-à-vis firms that interact directly with the university’s departments. We find that firms interacting via intermediary organizations are smaller, with less knowledge capabilities and geographically closer to the university, than counterparts. Thereby, our findings provide support to the view that intermediaries contribute to a broader diffusion of knowledge by enhancing U–I links with small firms. Cultural and organizational barriers are more significant among firms interacting directly with the university, whereas cognitive and cost barriers are more relevant among firms interacting via intermediaries. Geographic proximity has a preponderant role in U–I links highlighting the importance of mid-tier universities to regional growth in less technologically advanced regions.
