Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter explores industrial PhD students, including their activities and their perceptions of the impact of their studies and of their role in university–firm interaction on firm innovation. The limited number of previous studies of industrial PhD students mainly focus on broader issues related to these students’ educational experience and learning outcomes (Thune 2009), whereas studies of PhD students moving to industry generally focus not on their activities during education but rather on what happens after graduation (e.g., Cruz-Castro & Sanz-Menéndez 2005; Garcia-Quevedo et al. 2011; Roach & Sauermann 2010). Here, we consider a specific empirical phenomenon, namely, industrial PhD students during their education, when they are simultaneously involved in both the university and the firm. Because little research considers our phenomenon, we address two questions through detailed qualitative research, within the empirical context of collaborative research in the field of engineering in Sweden. Given the lack of previous research on this topic, our first question is, How to define an industrial PhD student? To answer this, we consider the conditions for education and employment, their specific activities, and the frequency of activities bridging the university and firm. Then we seek to explore their perceived contribution to firm innovation during their education as PhD students, so our second question is What is the perception of how their activities impact upon firm innovation? To conceptualize this, we first present an existing conceptual framework for academic engagement with industry, and further elaborating on underlying concepts in order to develop a detailed analysis of the the micro-level activities of these PhD students. Our results identify several activities of these industrial PhD students that merit analysis in future research, and specifically in relation to the development of firm capabilities for innovation.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter analyzes why large multinational firms are willing to invest resources in long-term collaboration with leading universities. This chapter is based on interviews with the multinationals at universities in Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The issue of how and why multinational corporations are willing to invest in longer-term collaboration with universities relates back to the core of the ‘positive’ interpretation of the knowledge society for Europe – namely how to remain attract node for R&D. This chapter thus moves to the perspective of the firm, in their interactions with university-based researchers active in top universities in different fields.

How and why does cost efficiency of universities differ across European Universities? An explorative attempt using new micro data
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Bonaccorsi, A. (2014), Knowledge, Diversity and the Performance in European Higher Education. - Cheltenham, UK : Edward Elgar Publishers. - 9781783472000 ; , s. 267-291
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter analyses the cost efficiency of universities, through a cross analysis of universities in different European countries. The focus is on describing the cost efficiency of universities located in six countries, using new developed cross-national set of input and output variables, as well as series of exogenous variables. This approach allows us to explore cross-country variation in cost efficiency as well as the impact of institutional factors on efficiency variation. As such, we hope to contribute to the current debates in academic literature and policy circles about the various determinants of university performance and about the rationales for changing European higher education systems. Currently there are huge pressures to reform educational and research systems in European countries e.g. by providing better education to more people at a lower cost. Hence advances in understanding university performance across-national patterns are vital for further understanding and public policy reforms for the future. This chapter addresses how and why cost efficiency of universities differs across European countries.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter analyzes the main results, in terms of the four horizontal themes, namely ‘Emergent Strategies; Diversification and Specialization; Rethinking University-Industry Relations; and ‘Reflections’ This part of the chapter focuses upon what we have learnt theoretically and empirically about European universities learning to compete, through this book. The main focus of this chapter is on the implications for the future, of this new competitive regime, as universities, institutes of technologies and colleges move from social institutions to knowledge businesses. The future implications are presented in terms of restructuring the university sector at the macro level and in terms of strategies at the micro level. Hence, these conclusions are particularly relevant both for public policy and for decision-makers within universities, at all levels ranging from heads of research groups to vice chancellors and presidents.

What Does it Mean Conceptually that Universities Compete?
- 2009

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter asks what competition may mean for universities and other higher education institutions. The modern rhetoric states that universities compete but is hardly very precise in formulating what this entails. This chapter describes an evolutionary economics and innovation management perspective for understanding international trends and the responses of specific universities, but also comments upon the limits to such competition as regulated by government, laws etc. The chapter portrays universities as knowledge based service providers with a set of different stakeholders (students, firms, governments). From a selection perspective, the chapter analyses what type of outputs these stakeholders are interested in and what metrics there are in terms of assessing these outputs. This analysis is conducted in terms of characteristics of the university sectors in terms of value, resources and appropriation for education, research and ‘innovation’. This chapter thus addresses what competition and transformation mean for universities, focusing on universities within a global sector providing knowledge-based services.
