A Study on the Influential Factors and the Changes of Universities in the Development of University Collaboration with Industry

本研究以大学教职员及联络员为对象，就产学合作成长指标进行问卷调查。调查显示，受访者认为合作研究是最合适的合作增长指标。根据调查所得数据，以合作研究项目数为目标变量，进行了多元线性回归分析。研究结果显示，政府补助与专任联络教授人数是促进合作的重要因素。接着，我们对1000名大学自然科学专业的教职员工进行了关于产学合作效果的问卷调查。调查显示，受访者认为产学合作对研究活动有负面影响，但对教育和整个大学运作有正面影响。

We conducted a questionnaire survey on the growth indicators of university-industry cooperation on the faculty and liaison staffs in universities. This survey revealed that the respondents consider the collaborative researches as the most appropriate growth indicator of the cooperation. Based on the data obtained in the survey, we carried out multiple linear regression analyses with respect to the number of collaborative research projects as the objective variables. The results suggest that the important factors for promotion of the collaboration are the government subsidies and the number of full-time liaison professors. Following that, we conducted another questionnaire survey on the effects of university-industry cooperation on 1000 university faculty members specializing in natural sciences. This survey revealed that the respondents consider the university-industry cooperation has a negative effect on research activities, but it has a positive effect on education and the whole university operations.
