Abstract

The collaboration with academia is important for firm to develop new product in the knowledge-intensive industries. Although both firms and universities can gain benefits, activating a joint research collaboration does not necessarily guarantee its success. Geographic proximity, prior relationship or knowledge proximity with academic partners may be insufficient for sustaining an effective collaboration. This study scrutinizes firm’s collaborative capabilities to win the cooperation of academic partners and enhance the inter-organizational coordination in the execution stage of collaboration. Based on the results of multiple-case study, this research would shed light on the management of collaborative innovation and provide practical guidance for managers at firms to develop effective university-industry collaborations.
