The State and University-Industry Collaboration: Deriving Insights from Taiwan's Top Private University

摘要


The paper explores university-industry collaboration (UIC) in Taiwan's top private university. The study aims to draw insights from UIC case studies, and complement existing quantitative approach on the studies of UIC in public universities. The paper explains the government's role as an enabler of UICs in Taiwan in general, and Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU) in particular. The paper describes and discusses the knowledge transfer process, strengths, constraints, conflicts and potentials of four UICs case studies derived from CYCU's UIC administrative center, the Executive Operation Office for Industry-Academia Cooperation (EOOIA). The paper shows that the state plays an important role as an enabler to UICs, and that private funding from the small and medium enterprises in UICs create a least cost model for knowledge and technology transfer as well as internship for students engaged in learning cutting-edge knowledge and actual products development. The study argues on CYCU's strengths and weaknesses in deep engagement of UIC and provides suggestions to avoid the high turnover of CYCU's high performing academics from leaving for premier universities. Academics who engage deeply in UICs should be given more flexibility. The paper concludes that CYCU is heading towards an entrepreneurial university in its own style and uniqueness as a private university.
