Zusatztext "Very few scholars understand the commercial application of university science as well as Martin Kenney and David Mowery; they were among the first to analyze how critical technology transfer is for economic growth. To have these leaders of the field team up to edit a sterling collection of studies of university-industry relations in the University of California system is not only an intellectual treat, it is also a valuable service for those who want to manage the process more effectively."

Zusammenfassung Public Universities and Regional Growth uses nuanced case studies from throughout the UC system to examine the complex, bi-directional technology transfers between university researchers and regional firms. Inhaltsverzeichnis Public Universities and Regional Growth: Insights from the University of California Author(s): Edited by Martin Kenney and David C. Mowery book abstract This volume examines the evolution of university–industry relationships in research and innovation at six campuses of the University of California system, ranging from viticulture to computer science. This collection of studies enriches our understanding of the dynamics of university–industry relationships and regional economic development. Each chapter contains a historical analysis of the evolution of academic and industrial research, innovation, and regional development in specific research fields. The chapters provide a richer characterization of the bidirectional flow of individuals, ideas, and resources between industrial and academic research and innovation than appears in empirical analyses that rely on patenting, article citations, and licensing. The book's discussion of university–industry interactions at a leading public U.S. research university system adds to the literature on such private U.S. universities as Stanford and MIT and illustrates the heterogeneous relationships that have evolved at different UC campuses. The coverage of research fields is broader than recent historical studies, many of which have concentrated primarily on biotechnology or the life sciences generally. 1 Introduction chapter abstract This volume examines the evolution of university–industry relationships in research and innovation at six campuses of the University of California system, ranging from viticulture to computer science. This collection of studies enriches our understanding of the dynamics of university–industry relationships and regional economic development in several ways. First, each chapter relies on historical analysis of the evolution of academic and industrial researc...
