University–industry relationships and open innovation: Towards a research agenda

Markus Perkmann, Kathryn Walsh · 2007 · International Journal of Management Reviews

Summary. Universities and industries increasingly collaborate to drive innovation through networks and partnerships.

They propose a research agenda focusing on how universities and firms find and match with each other, and how to effectively manage these collaborations.
