Higher education system and the ‘open’ knowledge transfer: a view from perception of senior managers at university knowledge transfer offices

Autoría
Hossein Sharifi, Weisheng Liu, Hossam S. Ismail

Resumen
Higher education institutions (HEIs) have become increasingly entrepreneurial. Such a shift is highly dependent on the managers of university knowledge transfer offices whose perceptions can be critical in this transformation. This study examines such senior managers’ perceptions concerning the ‘open’ paradigm in relation with the management aspects of university knowledge transfer (UKT). Using the Q method based survey of senior UK practitioners the study discovered patterns of perspectives in the knowledge transfer management. Four shared perspectives of management towards ‘open’ (versus ‘closed’) UKT were found including: (A) interconnectivity oriented management; (B) performance led management; (C) internal focused management; and (D) reconciliation oriented management. Despite each perspective’s distinct stance, the perspectives share a central concern that interconnectivity and flexibility are the key characteristics of the future university knowledge transfer office management, and that business model based approach to the management of UKT is critical to a successful transformation to entrepreneurial university.

Resumen

Purpose

The aim of this paper is to provide evidence of the relationship between the governance structure of universities and the universities’ knowledge transfer (KT) performance outcomes measured in terms of university spin-off firms university spin-offs (USOs).

Design/methodology/approach

The universities’ board of directors has been analyzed under three profiles: the incidence of internal directors belonging to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) faculties, the incidence of women directors and the incidence of external directors.

Findings

The findings provide evidence of a significant and positive association, for southern Italian state universities, of the presence of university STEM directors and the establishment of university spin-offs (USOs).

Originality/value

The article is original as, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no study, except for the paper by Meoli et al. (2019), examined the governance of universities in relation to the establishment of academic spin-offs.

Innovación

De acuerdo con el manual de Oslo de la OCDE (2018), una innovación es un nuevo o mejorado producto o proceso (o una combinación de ambos) que difiere significativamente de los productos o procesos previos de la unidad institucional y que ha sido puesto a disposición de potenciales personas usuarias (producto) o implementado en la unidad institucional (proceso).
