ABSTRACT EEC-9726306 BEHRENS It is not unusual for Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers to form partnerships between two or more universities. These partnerships provide access to more research expertise than is resident at a single university and hence create stronger centers. Although the research strengths of each university and the degree to which the research integrates is typically well understood before two or more universities join together to form a center, the managerial and administrative issues may not be. Differences in organizational culture, management philosophy and bureaucratic procedures, if not addressed, can break up an otherwise fruitful partnership. The objective of this project is to develop a tool, for use by two or more universities planning to enter into a partnership, to focus discussions on these non-research related issues. This tool would use the business alliance lifecycle model based on a marriage metaphor developed by Kantor et.al. as a conceptual framework. The tool would be an annotated checklist containing items that potential partners must discuss before entering into a partnership, such as what the "target market" for the envisioned center is. Included under each item would be a short discussion about why consideration of that item is important.

摘要EEC-9726306 BEHRENS 工业/大学合作研究中心在两所或两所以上大学之间建立伙伴关系并不罕见。 这些伙伴关系提供了更多的研究专业知识，而不是居住在一个单一的大学，因此创建更强大的中心。 虽然在两所或两所以上的大学联合起来形成一个中心之前，每个大学的研究优势和研究整合的程度通常是很好的理解，但管理和行政问题可能不是。 如果不解决组织文化、管理哲学和官僚程序方面的差异，可能会破坏本来富有成果的伙伴关系。 该项目的目标是开发一种工具，供计划建立伙伴关系的两所或更多大学使用，以集中讨论这些与研究无关的问题。 该工具将使用基于Kantor等人开发的婚姻隐喻的商业联盟生命周期模型作为概念框架。 该工具将是一个附有注释的清单，其中载有潜在合作伙伴在建立伙伴关系之前必须讨论的项目，例如设想的中心的“目标市场”是什么。 每个项目下将简短讨论为什么审议该项目是重要的。
