Indicators of universityâindustry knowledge transfer performance and their implication for universities: evidence from the United Kingdom
The issue of what indicators are most appropriate in order to measure the performance of universities in knowledge transfer (KT) activities remains relatively under-investigated. The main aim of this paper is to identify and discuss the limitations to the current measurements of university-industry KT performance, and propose some directions for improvement. We argue that university-industry KT can unfold in many ways and impact many stakeholders, and that, especially in highly differentiated university systems, choosing indicators focused on a narrow range of activities and impacts might limit the ability of universities to accurately represent their KT performance. Therefore, KT indicators should include a variety of activities and reflect a variety of impacts, so as to allow comparability between different institutions and avoid the creation of undesirable behavioural incentives. To illustrate these issues empirically, we discuss the case of the United Kingdomâs Higher Education âBusiness and Community Interaction (HE-BCI) survey
Participation and commitment in third-party research funding: evidence from Italian Universities
The paper examines data on third party research of Italian departments and develops a two stage model in which the first stage examines the binary decision to engage into third party research, the second the intensity of third party research as a share of department research budget
