Picking your partners: effects of faculty quality on university-industry relationships

WP No 070-Feb- 2009

Markus Perkmann, Zella King and Stephen Pavelin

We investigate how the research standing of universities informs academic researchers’ engagement with industry via collaborative research, contract research and consulting. We argue that the establishment of university-industry relationships is informed by three factors: faculty perceived complementarity with academic research; faculty efforts to attract industrial funding for research; and industry preference to work with highly skilled and reputable faculty. Using a dataset that covers all UK universities, we identify three matching scenarios. In technology-oriented disciplines, faculty quality is positively related to industry involvement.
