Despite a wealth of efforts that examine separately the role
entrepreneurs and universities play in economic development, no
systematic effort has been made to examine the role universities
play in promoting economic development through entrepreneurship.
This book fills that gap, focusing on policy aspects of
government-university partnerships with a discussion both of best
practices and problematic strategies. The book begins by tracing
the history of American government-university-industry partnerships
that have promoted economic development. In succeeding chapters,
well-known scholars focus on linkages in different domains such as:
technology transfer, innovation networks, brain drain,
cluster-based planning, and manufacturing. Practitioner
commentaries follow many of the chapters in order to present an
evaluation of the arguments from the perspective of someone
directly involved in the fostering of these relationships.
Non-technical and accessible in nature, the chapters summarize
existing knowledge and research in order to help policymakers,
foundations, university officials, business leaders and other
stakeholders create and enhance partnerships between universities
and governments that encourage economic development through
entrepreneurship.
