TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the corporate-inspired strategic alignment framework for entrepreneurial universities and examine the strategic congruence among the individual, organisational and system levels and the functional congruences between knowledge and entrepreneurial capitals.
Abstract: The Open Innovation in Science literature suggests university knowledge creation should be followed by knowledge dissemination to industry and the public. Although several entrepreneurial university models have been proposed in the literature explaining the role of knowledge production, extant studies generally assume that the elements required by and involved in university outbound innovation are automatically aligned. This conceptual piece introduces the corporate-inspired strategic alignment framework for entrepreneurial universities.
In addition, this paper examines the strategic congruence among the individual, organisational and system levels and the functional congruence between knowledge and entrepreneurial capitals. It demonstrates how they can fulfil the increasingly complex role that they must play in science, industry, and society.

TL;DR: It is proposed that ecosystem search scope and problem complexity are key ecosystem-level factors that influence how TTOs support knowledge search, and it is argued that coupling, specialisation, centralisation, and formalisation are the key structural dimensions ofTTOs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate what fosters or inhibits data sharing behavior in a sample of 173 innovation management researchers and find that the stronger scholars perceive the comparative advantage of non-public datasets, the lower the likelihood of data sharing, while negative perceptions of increased data scrutiny are consequential in inhibiting data sharing.
Abstract: We investigate what fosters or inhibits data sharing behaviour in a sample of 173 innovation management researchers. Theoretically, we integrate resource-based arguments with social exchange considerations to juxtapose the trade-off between data as a proprietary resource for researchers and the benefits that reciprocity in academic relations may provide. Our empirical analysis reveals that the stronger scholars perceive the comparative advantage of non-public datasets, the lower the likelihood of data sharing. Expected communal benefits may increase the likelihood of data sharing, while negative perceptions of increased data scrutiny are consequential in inhibiting data sharing. Only institutional pressure may help to solve this conundrum; most respondents would therefore like to see journal policies that foster data sharing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between AM technologies and employment at the industry level, due to both market expansion and complementarity between labour and AM technologies, while no labour-saving effect emerges.
Abstract: In spite of the fast spread of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in several countries and industries, its impact on employment is still unexplored and theoretically ambiguous. On the one hand, higher product customisation and shorter time-to-market entail an expansion of the market, thus fostering labour demand; on the other hand, AM profoundly changes the way goods are produced and little evidence exists regarding the complementarity or substitutability between AM technologies and labour.
In this article, we contribute to fill this gap. We estimate labour demand functions augmented with a (patent-based) proxy of AM-related innovation in 31 OECD countries, across 21 manufacturing industries, over the 2009–2017 period. Our econometric findings show an overall positive relationship between AM technologies and employment at the industry level, due to both market expansion and complementarity between labour and AM technologies, while no labour-saving effect emerges. The importance of each mechanism, however, is heterogeneous across sectors.
