Open Science and Open Innovation
The SSRN website posted an abstract of a book by Joel West and Markus Perkmann: “Open Science and Open Innovation”: “We investigate how firms work with universities in the course of their innovation activities. We provide an overview of three main modes of direct interaction between firms and universities: IP licensing, research services and research partnerships. We highlight the significant role of relationship-based modes of interaction which include research services and research partnerships between firms and universities. While some of these relationship-based interactions enable appropriation via intellectual property rights, others are more aligned with the norms of open science and create benefits for firms by generating basic knowledge, creating skills and enabling follow-on innovation.
