Drivers and Barriers of University-Business Cooperation Sample Clauses

Drivers and Barriers of University-Business Cooperation. The representatives of the companies were also asked to provide information on the factors that facilitate their cooperation with higher education institutions and the barriers to university-business cooperation. The general list of drivers of university-business cooperation is the following, with the most common driver on the top: • Existence of mutual trust and commitment ⦋1⦌ • Existence of shared motives ⦋2⦌ • Prior relationship with HEI ⦋3⦌ • Interest of HEI in accessing practical knowledge ⦋4⦌ • Close geographical distance of HEI ⦋5⦌ • Access to HEI's R&D facilities ⦋6⦌ • Financial resources for working with HEI ⦋7⦌ Table 3.1: Comparison ranks of drivers of UBC among employers, academics and HEI representatives Sources: EMCOSU analyses, Xxxxx et al. (2011b, 67) • Flexibility of HEI ⦋8⦌ Drivers of UBC Employers Academics and HEI representatives Existence of mutual trust and commitment 1 1 Existence of shared motives 2 2 Prior relationship with HEI 3 3 Interest of HEI in accessing practical knowledge 4 4 (Interest of business in accessing scientific knowledge) Close geographical distance of HEI 5 6 Access to HEI's R&D facilities 6 8 (Access to business-sector research and development facilities) Financial resources for working with HEI 7 5 Flexibility of HEI 8 7 However, there are few differences among EMCOSU countries. In Hungary the prevailing factor is interest of higher education institutions in accessing practical knowledge and in Bulgaria the existence of shared motives. Besides those two facilitating factors the companies reported quite to a large extent that the driver for their cooperation with universities is also prior relationships with them. The least often factors that were reported as facilitating factors of university-business cooperation are of a financial nature and the flexibility of higher education institutions, however one cannot say whether they are meant also as barriers. It is interesting to note that the results of a research among academics on the most important drivers for university-business cooperation are the same. They rated the existence of mutual trust, mutual commitment and shared goals as essential drivers of cooperation (Xxxxx and others edt. 2011).
