AB  - Against a background of increasing international competition and rapid technological
change, universities and industry have often engaged in collaboration as a means of
improving cross-unit transfers of the resources, capabilities, and knowledge. It is well
acknowledged that innovation has become a strategic source in creating sustainable
competitive advantages for firms. Since innovation is increasingly related to a firm’s ability
to assimilate and exploit external knowledge, firms are facing challenges of accessing
knowledge and sources of innovation. One of the sources for accessing external
knowledge is the knowledge generated in universities. Therefore, the objective of this
project is to review the literature on university-industry interactions and to identify the
characteristics of firm which influence its ability in utilizing scientific knowledge transferred
from universities. A number of factors are discussed which may influence the knowledge
firms obtain from interactions with university researchers. They include: size, absorptive
capacity, R&D intensity, Structure, Strategy, Culture, and Trust.
