The new science and technology framework has challenged higher
education institutions in South Africa to create research
partnerships with industry, to contribute to growing a national
system of innovation. Through detailed case studies, this monograph
explores how one new organisational form typical of the knowledge
society, the network, is currently being created in practice, in
all its complex and contingent reality, in three high technology
fields. It is the volume in the working partnerships - higher
education, industry and innovation series. The case studies show
that knowledge networks are primarily shaped by the competitive
dynamics of the industrial sub-sector within which partner
enterprises operate, intersecting with the levels of scientific and
managerial expertise within higher education partner institutions,
and facilitated by government policy steering mechanisms and
intermediary partners. The intersection of interests gives all
partners a stake in the research project at the heart of the
knowledge network, and builds the levels of trust required to
succeed. The analysis highlights some of the possibilities and
constraints evident in the current policy context, suggesting that
state attempts to steer the system need to be more nuanced and
targeted, informed by the specificity of sectoral dynamics, and it
suggests that universities need to identify their own strategic
solutions to develop a flexible and adaptive institutional approach
to networks.
