The role of universities in supporting economic development has
been explored in studies emphasizing the mechanisms of technology
transfer and knowledge spillover. However, in addition to
intellectual capital, university scientists bring other resources
into research collaboration and contribute to firm partnerships in
both direct and indirect ways. This book develops the concept of
resource spillover, which captures the various ways in which firms
can benefit from collaborations with university scientists. The
study categorizes the resources possessed by university scientists
into intellectual capital, social capital, and positional capital,
and tests the impact of each on the performance of firms. Using a
sample of new nanotechnology-based firms in the United States, the
study finds that firms benefit from research collaboration in terms
of both increased research capability and research output and
improved public relations and research credibility. The work
contributes to the university-industry technology transfer
literature and is useful to managers and policy scientists who are
developing research partnership programs or intermediary
organizations.
