TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a systematic review of research on academic scientists' involvement in collaborative research, contract research, consulting and informal relationships for university-industry knowledge transfer, which they refer as academic engagement.Abstract:
A considerable body of work highlights the relevance of collaborative research, contract research, consulting and informal relationships for university-industry knowledge transfer. We present a systematic review of research on academic scientists’ involvement in these activities to which we refer as ‘academic engagement’. Apart from extracting findings that are generalisable across studies, we ask how academic engagement differs from commercialization, defined as intellectual property creation and academic entrepreneurship. We identify the individual, organizational and institutional antecedents and consequences of academic engagement, and then compare these findings with the antecedents and consequences of commercialization. Apart from being more widely practiced, academic engagement is distinct from commercialization in that it is closely aligned with traditional academic research activities, and pursued by academics to access resources supporting their research agendas. We conclude by identifying future research needs, opportunities for methodological improvement and policy interventions. (Published version available via open access)read more

Entrepreneurial practices in research-intensive and teaching-led universities
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the analysis of entrepreneurial activities to teaching-led universities besides their research-intensive counterparts, and find that the levels and geographical reach of the diverse set of entrepreneurial practices conducted by research intensive and teaching led universities differ significantly, and explore the underlying reasons for these differences through the lens of institutional theory and by utilizing the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique.
