Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we use the database of academic paper and patent to consider the characteristics of researchers' research area and networks and study the impact of industry-university collaboration research on research productivity of firms and universities empirically. As a result of panel data analysis of the effect of industry-university collaboration on firms' patent application activities and firm performance, it was suggested that industry-university collaboration promotes firm patent application and increases sales and gross value added. In addition, as a result of analyzing the determinants of industry-university collaboration from a university perspective, it was suggested that the existence of university research administrator (URA) and industry-university-government collaboration coordinator encourages the implementation of industry-university collaboration.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的意義は、企業の研究開発活動に影響を与える要因として、従来から指摘されていた企業規模や競争状態等にくわえて、産学連携も検討する必要があることを示したことにあります。産学連携が企業の研究開発生産性を向上させ、売上高や粗付加価値という企業パフォーマンスを向上させる可能性を定量的に確認できました。社会的意義は、企業の研究開発生産性を向上させる科学技術イノベーション政策として、産学連携を促す施策が有効に機能することを定量的に示したことにあります。また、産学連携を促す政策として、リサーチ・アドミニストレーター等の研究推進支援人材を適切に配置することが有効であることを示したことも社会的意義と言えます。
