TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a suitable framework with a few examples to illustrate its usefulness and propose a framework for describing the role and the future potential of universities as a part of national R&D and innovation systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate problems of technology transfer in public enterprises in the Caribbean, and illustrate how inadequate management of the technology transfer process by public enterprises imposes a heavy penalty on the performance of public enterprises on one hand and on development on the other hand.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the research carried out in contract research institutes, which are needed as a supplement to universities and industrial laboratories, and present a pool of competence that can be used flexibly by individual customers according to varying needs.

TL;DR: The author, using as a basis the extensive cases before his court from the areas of behavioral science and health regulation, offers a role for biotechnology's scientists based on the roles of experts from these other areas.

TL;DR: The author describes special problems in detecting infringement of patents, special requirements (such as depositing the relevant microorganisms in specified organizations), and unique problems of determining compensation for the inventors of genetically engineered processes and products.

TL;DR: In contrast to strategic thinkers like Sun-Tsu, Machiavelli, Clausewitz, Moltke, and Mahan, post-World War I theorists like Fuller, Liddell Hart, Douhet, and Mitchell made technology a key to their strategic concepts.

TL;DR: A model for enhancement of cooperative biotechnology programs among government, universities, particularly for university-industry relationships in the biotechnology area is concluded.

TL;DR: In a modern industrial country, the pursuit of knowledge is deliberate, conscious, and carried out on a large scale as mentioned in this paper, where knowledge was the key to survival then and it is the key for survival today.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a collection of papers on university-industry interactions, focusing on the use of technical resources to serve universities, industry, and society, with different objectives and objectives.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between technology and society is discussed in the context of anarchy in a multicultured, interdependent world, where incompatible cultures clash with each other and with the common technologies and organizations that sustain the world's rapidly growing population.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the impact of universities on the economic development of high-technology countries, with high value-added industries, whereas in countries with low-technology/value-added branches of industry, universities might contribute to important improvements.

TL;DR: The author reviews the origins of the public policy debate concerning recombinant DNA technology and Congressional consideration of legislation to regulate recombinantDNA research, and outlines a number of legislative initiatives that could impact the biotechnology industry and university-based research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of medium risk, medium-term R&D with mixed incentives is discussed, which constitutes an intermediary between the internationally open basic research society and the closed groups of development in individual companies.

TL;DR: The author describes how biotechnology relates to traditional corporate law and regulation, using as a basis public perceptions that this technology involves special hazards and has revolutionary implications, and concludes by noting the substantial future impacts biotechnology might pose for the law.

TL;DR: In industry, it is exhausting to try to be realistic about markets; the expectation is that a clever notion or product would, somehow, be saleable at a profit as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of other countries indicates that modes of cooperation and degree of interaction between universities and industry in the chemical field vary greatly and that strong anti-industry sentiment precludes most collaboration, whereas in Germany all professors of chemical engineering must come from industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors delineate those issues which are likely to confront the division of labor approach to American participation in scientific macro-projects and suggest ways to resolve these issues Three policy options appear to be especially promising: developing a data base defining the international division of labour in science; facilitating National Science Foundation leadership in cooperative efforts; and utilizing a line item in each agency budget for international science activities.
