Boundary making and strategy making in knowledge-forming organisations

政府的政策致力于在知识经济中加强大学研究和商业产品开发之间的联系。然而，关于大学和非大学知识形成组织(KFO)之间的关系，以及什么政策和资源支持和调整它们之间的边界，人们知之甚少。不同的国家以不同的方式处理这些问题，部分原因是公共政策，部分是通过不同的内生动力。利用五个国家的案例研究，该项目将确定如何优化不同KFO之间的分工，同时保持各自的优势，并最大限度地扩大战略和创新的机会。

Government policy is devoted to bettering linkages between university research and commercial product development in the knowledge economy. Yet little is known of relationships between university and non-university knowledge forming organisations (KFOs) and what policies and resources sustain and adjust the border between them. Different countries approach these issues in distinctive ways, in part because of public policy, in part through different endogenous dynamics. Using case study research in five countries, the project will identify ways the division of labour between different KFOs can be optimised, while sustaining their respective strengths, and maximising the opportunities for strategy and innovation.
