Industrial Marketing Management, Research Policy, Part of Springer Nature. We can identify a number of avenues for future research into knowledge transfer related to academic engagement. Therefore, these do not fully reflect the trust related concerns we encountered in our analysis. Collaboration experience with the specific partner also increases trust in that the partner will handle sensitive information carefully. 2013a). %%EOF
Also Perkmann et al. Researchers are expected to put sufficient effort into understanding the needs of the industrial partner; this becomes especially important during the engagement phase (Canhoto et al. In the following part we will discuss the findings from the literature we reviewed. Inter- and intra-organizational knowledge transfer: A meta-analytic review and assessment of its antecedents and consequences. 32(2), 203227. Higher Education, The possibility for interactive discussion for the coordination of goals is important to keep industrial and academic expectations aligned (Johnson and Johnston 2004). 1998; Santoro and Gopalakrishnan 2001). Attending to the noted significance of "context" in IT resistance, we carried out this review to understand how the "context" of healthcare in the extant HIT resistance literature has been studied. 40(4), 539552. 2023 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. The term research generated results for a broad range of terms used to indicate collaborations such as joint research, collaborative research, contract research and so on. This review aimed to explore the relevance of knowledge transfer as a concept for theory development regarding academic engagement and to give an overview of literature that addresses knowledge transfer in academic engagement. Communication practices on the other hand are very important for the quality of knowledge sharing. We could also compare previous research outcomes and draw new conclusions by connecting empirical results with theoretical explanations and by identifying dissimilarities that require more research. Before the spread of writing, oral literature did not always survive well, but some texts and fragments have persisted. 2015). 2014). 2015). Using a synthesised technique for grounded theory in nursing research. Bjerregaard, T. (2009). Reduced ambiguity in return improves absorptive capacity and the understanding of the goals and needs of the partner. Resultantly, academic reputation and previous personal ties are important drivers for establishing collaborations (Pinheiro et al. Ankrah, S., & AL-Tabbaa, O. Project management tools can be helpful in the communication of progress and the relation between goals and outcomes (Wallin et al. In the end we identified relevant papers in 26 different journals. (2008) identified absorptive capacity and ambiguity as important factors. 0000188193 00000 n
Plewa, C., Korff, N., Baaken, T., & Macpherson, G. (2013a). 2015). The debate also extends into the wider academic community, where no consensus exists. xb```f`d`e``)cb@ !6v@N#HPD88@m7+U@L4|b|%v,LRajiXc)91Lf|6zl2 Fs:$DeNN&F^7i_R* GSu[tt WYD66zdmP4t:+ -2+ >fcz@d

EXTANT | English meaning - Cambridge Dictionary 15(4), 625647. 30(1), 2144. Trust and communication help to overcome both, cognitive differences and differences in goals. Frequent meetings and deliberation are key to recognize and solve differences (Morandi 2013; Plewa et al. Canhoto, A. I., Quinton, S., Jackson, P., & Dibb, S. (2016).

It is an aggregated term for various knowledge characteristics of which the tacit nature (Polanyi 1966), complexity and the limited possibilities for specification (Simonin 1999) are the most important. 0000016254 00000 n
Use of the literature review to plan and conduct a study requires that you critically PDF Should Accountants Upskill? Evidence from Demand for Auditors with Different goals relate to the different ways in which business and academia benefit from knowledge. European Journal of Innovation Management, 2007; Thune 2009). Nevertheless, knowledge transfer seems an interesting perspective for theory development for research into academic engagement. Reflecting on the challenges of choosing and using a grounded theory approach. (2016). Extant literature identified knowledge differences and differences in goals resulting from different institutional cultures as important barriers to knowledge transfer. 2010;17(4):8-17. doi: 10.7748/nr2010.07.17.4.8.c7920. fduWdr6sH( H7R 1@~-87Y9Ck

(2000) and Hagedoorn (2002) concluded that there was a lack of research into transfer channels other than commercialization. Additionally, academic knowledge and expertise is valued higher than industrial knowledge. 10(1), 6588. Amabile, T. M., Patterson, C., Mueller, J., Wojcik, T., Odomirok, P. W., Marsh, M., et al. Secondly, trust is mainly researched in quantitative research in relation to general collaboration success. 0000189524 00000 n
The paper reports that FinTech promises huge potential for further study by various stakeholders in the FinTech industry from academia to practitioners to regulators. In the same study, tacitness and explicitness (related to knowledge ambiguity) moderated knowledge transfer negatively. IUO#&(y54PrP\ 2008).
Steinmo (2015), on the other hand, found that cognitive capital can be developed over time at the organizational level. (2008). The knowledge contribution from the industrial partner is reduced to formulating interesting research problems (DEste and Perkmann 2011; McCabe et al. Although university income from academic engagement outranks income derived from selling intellectual property (IP) (Perkmann et al. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies How can failure and success of knowledge transfer be explained? The main purpose of a review article is to critically analyse the extant literature in a given research area, theme or discipline, identifying relevant theories, key constructs, empirical methods, contexts, and remaining research gaps in order to set a future research agenda based on those gaps. Bloedon, R. V., & Stokes, D. R. (1994). 56, 8696. Journal of Product Innovation Management, 2015; Ulhi et al. (1990). The difficult search for compromises in a Canadian industry/university research partnership. Keywords: 30(12), 13911418. Also, there seems to be agreement that secondment, employee exchange and hiring graduates are important ways to transfer the tacit aspects of knowledge in both directions. Academicpractitioner collaboration in management research: A case of cross-profession collaboration. 2013). 25(2), 162179. Relationship dynamics between university research centres and industrial firms: Their impact on technology transfer activities. Industry and Innovation, Trust, communication, the use of intermediaries and experience are found as facilitators for knowledge transfer that help to resolve the identified barriers. Therefore, we recommend to carefully select knowledge partners and the persons who represent the company. Hunter A, Murphy K, Grealish A, Casey D, Keady J. And makes it easier to build on previous research. ), Economic development through entrepreneurship: Government, university and business linkages. The use of project plans that outline goals and outcomes could facilitate this (Canhoto et al. They provide a space for deliberation and feedback which increases the comprehension of results (McCabe et al. 0000000016 00000 n
Knowledge transfer through rich, or interactive, media is preferred over indirect communication through reports, presentations, patents and so forth, as the latter are unable to transfer tacit knowledge (Alexander and Childe 2013; Sandberg et al. Knowledge ambiguity refers to a situation where dissimilarities in knowledge result in inherent and irreducible uncertainty regarding what the underlying knowledge components and sources are precisely, and how they interact (van Wijk et al. Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Systematic Reviews, %PDF-1.5

Intergenerational trauma in Latinxs: A scoping review - PubMed If experience or management capabilities do not reduce cognitive differences, identifying suitable partners with matching knowledge backgrounds is an important success factor (Galan-Muros and Plewa 2016). In a CA, authors examine the main concepts, ideas and relationships of an issue presented by the extant literature, provide a critique, and in several cases, offer research propositions or a framework for future analysis. After this, we turn to theoretical insights about how knowledge differences and characteristics influence the effectiveness of knowledge exchange and absorptive capacity. You may adopt conventional methods, including phenomenological research, narrative-based research, grounded theory research, ethnographies , case studies, and auto-ethnographies. International Journal of Management Reviews, For each of the three topics we identified we will discuss the theoretical insights, their implications and the associated practices for successful knowledge transfer. Spontaneously sharing interesting knowledge that is not directly related to the specific project, experience and successful previous collaborations make partners feel that the other is genuinely interested in what is needed and improves insight in the partners needs (Al-Tabbaa and Ankrah 2016; Pinheiro et al. In this review we discuss which theoretical frames could deepen our understanding of universityindustry (UI) knowledge transfer, identify barriers and facilitators of knowledge transfer and use a practices perspective to identify ways to deal with these barriers. Nurse Res. Technovation, (2016) found that such routine based differences, meaning dissimilarities in working methods, could only be resolved when orientation based differences, meaning dissimilarities in goals, were settled. 0000122316 00000 n
A systematic review of literature consisting of 130 studies (social science research network [SSRN]-29 papers, Scopus-81, other sources-20) on FinTech is carried out in this thematic paper. Knowledge transfer through effective universityindustry interactions: Empirical experiences from china. The initial search strategy was to find papers discussing research partnership*, academic engagement or papers that combined scienc*, academi* or university with industry* or business, in combination with knowledge management, knowledge transfer or technology transfer. 2002; Gertner et al.

Minerva, 47(1), 93114. 2011; Galan-Muros and Plewa 2016; Hadjimanolis 2006; Harryson et al. (2004). The paper summarizes the research and findings in this emerging field. 41(4), 464476. In relation to cognitive differences there seems to be agreement that secondment, employee exchange and hiring graduates are important ways to (bi-directionally) transfer the tacit aspects of knowledge and that Master and PhD students can play a particularly important role in this (Gertner et al. To align goals, projects often start with a project plan, which allocates tasks and responsibilities and milestones in detail (Barnes et al. 104, 115. Knowledge transfer in universityindustry research partnerships: a review, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10961-018-9660-x, The Complementarity Investment in University-Industry Collaboration, Establishing successful universityindustry collaborations: barriers and enablers deconstructed, Knowledge transfer to industry: how academic researchers learn to become boundary spanners during academic engagement, Values in UniversityIndustry Collaborations: The Case of Academics Working at Universities of Technology, Creating New Knowledge while Solving a Relevant Practical Problem: Success Factors for an Action Research-Based PhD Thesis in Business and Management, What makes industryuniversity collaboration succeed? 2013b; Ulhi et al. 2015). To provide a personal account of the factors in a doctoral study that led to the adoption of classic grounded theory principles relating to the use of literature. International Journal of Technology Management, Chapter 9 Methods for Literature Reviews When letters make sounds that aren't associated w One goose, two geese. Novice researchers considering grounded theory methodology will become aware of the contentious issue of how and when extant literature should be incorporated into a study. The paper summarizes the research and findings in this emerging field. (2002). A classic approach avoids a pre-study literature review to minimise preconceptions and emphasises the constant comparison method, while the Straussian and constructivist approaches focus more on the beneficial aspects of an initial literature review and researcher reflexivity.

In high collaborations the firm contributes through the identification of research problems, grounding the design and data collection in the application context and by assisting academics in making decisions. Administrative Science Quarterly, 0000187986 00000 n
The ease with which knowledge is transferred depends on the characteristics of knowledge, similarities in knowledge background and knowledge management capabilities. 2012). 2009 Aug;18(16):2251-60. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2702.2008.02684.x. But is might also be problematic for forms of engagement that require interaction relating to the use of methods and technology, like joint research or sharing facilities (Sandberg et al. Firm employees who interact frequently with researchers and follow the debate at academic meetings gain a deeper understanding of the working methods and knowledge produced by the researchers. Also, the literature mainly focuses on problems in the implementation phase. II. These forms of interaction have been referred to as academic engagement or academic partnership (Perkmann et al. PDF The U.S. Charter School Landscape: Extant Literature, Gaps in Research Sherwood and Covin (2008) found that trust is positively associated with tacit knowledge transfer, as trust increases open communication and the willingness to share knowledge. Again, regardless of the chosen approach to qualitative research, your dissertation will have unique key features as listed below. 2023. 31(3), 387408. We used the following steps and criteria (see Fig. As those have focussed on characteristics of researchers and institutions (Perkmann et al. In S. Shane (Ed. During the collaboration the quality of communication is important. In this paper we focus on these kinds of academic engagement which we define as research partnerships based on high relational involvement in situations where individuals and teams from academic and industrial contexts work together on specific projects and produce common outputs (Perkmann and Walsh 2007, p. 263). This is in contrast with the findings of Ankrah and AL-Tabbaa (2015), who argue that UI collaborations are managed as rational process: focusing on planned resource and knowledge transfer. Saparito, P. A., Chen, C. C., & Sapienza, H. J. The three main grounded theory approaches are classic, Straussian and constructivist, and the seminal texts provide conflicting beliefs surrounding the use of literature. 2014). If partners mainly interact through periodical meetings instead of personnel exchange the identification of suitable recipients within the firm, who have the right knowledge background is essential. (PDF) Understanding the concept of knowledge gap and knowledge Innovation: A knowledge transfer perspective. Therefore, it is often recommended to start with small projects, like student projects, and build to more complex collaborations and more fundamental questions from there (Buganza et al. Furthermore, trust influences the formalization of communication. 2011;18(4):6-10. doi: 10.7748/nr2011.07.18.4.6.c8636. 2014; Wang and Lu 2007).

Before turning to the analysis of the selected papers we will discuss the definitions of and relations between the factors identified by Van Wijk et al. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10961-018-9660-x, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10961-018-9660-x. 0000150299 00000 n
Epub 2009 Apr 3. 2016; Wang and Lu 2007). (2013). Agrawal, A. K. (2001). Michael T. Compton . They showed that technological relatedness and technological capability (which increases absorptive capacity) were the most important facilitators of knowledge transfer in UI collaborations. 2016; Sandberg et al.

We start with a general discussion on knowledge flows in academic engagement. k 0000016024 00000 n
Knowledge that has these characteristics is hard to identify, understand and transfer (ibid.). To which Daghfouss (2004) adds that systematic learning in relation to management skills does not significantly increase learning capabilities. This could be due to a difference in focus, as Ankrah and AL-Tabbaa (2015) focus on negotiations in the pre-collaboration phase and their data included many results related to academic entrepreneurship, while the papers we analysed focus on the execution of the project and research partnerships. Buganza, T., Colombo, G., & Landoni, P. (2014). l0+rylfStZ"^34 k| Surviving Grounded Theory Research Method in an Academic World Following previous research in the field of UI research (for example Perkmann et al. Nurse Res. Methods To examine the literature on charter schools, I reviewed research and scholarly studies available that reported evidence on the goals of the reform as outlined by the charter school concept. 2013b). (2015). There remains uncertainty over the relevance of experience and management capabilities to solve transfer problems related to knowledge differences. Novice researchers will have their own sets of circumstances when preparing their studies and should become aware of the different perspectives to make decisions that they can ultimately justify. Methods for Literature Reviews - HKT Consultant Industry and academia in convergence: Micro-institutional dimensions of R&D collaboration. European Journal of Innovation Management, Sandberg, J., Holmstrm, J., Napier, N., & Levn, P. (2015). 47(3), 400410. On the other hand, it would be interesting to gain greater insight into what knowledge academics require from firms, to enables them to provide relevant results and manage the knowledge needs of the firm. Tie strength influences trust positively. 58(5), 637651. How to say extant literature in sign language? This requires bidirectional knowledge sharing to identify relevant problems, share and develop new insights, and the transfer and implementation of knowledge or technology. Learning through joint ventures: A framework of knowledge acquisition. Shared goals are needed to reach a common understanding of the desired output and the interpretation of results (Tsai and Ghoshal 1998). 2007). Most of this research studied academic entrepreneurship (Agrawal 2001; Shane 2005), which includes patenting, licensing, joint ventures, spin-offs and so forth. Based on extant definitions, we develop a conceptual definition of DT as "a process that aims to improve an entity by triggering . Scandinavian Journal of Management, Understanding digital transformation: A review and a research agenda It is therefore much welcomed, that since 2013 more research has been conducted into how institutional differences influence knowledge transfer and collaboration success. 0000176313 00000 n
Yet the trust scales used most frequently in the papers we reviewed are the ones intended for analysing business-to-business relations, developed by Saparito et al. Read books and articles on the topics that you like the most. This discrepancy is partly explained by McCabe et al. The exact number varies, depending on the purpose of the literature review and the extant literature. Philbin, S. (2008). 2015). 2012; Wang and Lu 2007). 2). There seems to be a need for future research to improve our understanding of how cultural differences are managed.
