关于创业型大学的争论引发了一个问题，即是什么促使学术科学家与工业界接触。本文提供了证据的基础上，调查数据的大样本的英国调查人员在物理和工程科学。研究结果表明，大多数学者与工业界合作是为了进一步推进他们的研究，而不是将他们的知识商业化。然而，在参与渠道方面存在差异。专利和分拆公司的形成完全是出于商业化的动机，而联合研究、合同研究和咨询则主要是出于与研究有关的动机。我们的结论是，政策应避免过度关注产业参与的货币激励，并考虑更广泛的激励措施，促进学术界和产业界之间的互动。
The debate on the entrepreneurial university has raised questions about what motivates academic scientists to engage with industry. This paper provides evidence based on survey data for a large sample of UK investigators in the physical and engineering sciences. The results suggest that most academics engage with industry to further their research rather than to commercialize their knowledge. However, there are differences in terms of the channels of engagement. Patenting and spin-off company formation are motivated exclusively by commercialization whilst joint research, contract research and consulting are strongly informed by research-related motives. We conclude that policy should refrain from overly focusing on monetary incentives for industry engagement and consider a broader range of incentives for promoting interaction between academia and industry.
