The book documents the range and significance of academic research contributions to the five industries "comparing the importance of different types of contributions, the multi- and interdisciplinary nature of these contributions, and the multiple vectors by which academic research is linked to each industry. The book calls for action to address six cross-cutting challenges to university-industry interactions: the growing disciplinary and time-horizon-related imbalances in federal R&D funding, barriers to university-industry interaction in service industries, the critical role of academic research in the advancement of information technology, the role of academic research in the regulation of industry, the impact of technology transfer activities on core university research and education missions, and the search for new pathways and mechanisms to enhance the contributions of academic research to industry. The book also includes findings and recommendations specific to each industry.Industrial efficiencyUnited StatesAcademic-industrial collaborationUnited StatesUniversities and collegesUnited StatesGraduate workComputer networksResearchUnited StatesMedical instruments and apparatus industryResearchUnited StatesAerospace industriesResearchUnited StatesFinancial services industryResearchUnited StatesIndustrial efficiencyAcademic-industrial collaborationUniversities and collegesGraduate work.Computer networksResearchMedical instruments and apparatus industryResearchAerospace industriesResearchFinancial services industryResearch338.060973National Academy of Engineering.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960834203321The impact of academic research on industrial performance4354608UNINA
