Organizational learning, entrepreneurial orientation, and the role of university engagement in SMEs (2016, methodology): “…universities to smaller firms include business assistance, extension services, and accelerator and outreach programs designed to transfer university expertise in new technologies and business practices to improve product performance, product quality, and process efficiency (Huggins et al., 2008).”
Mission impossible? Entrepreneurial universities and peripheral regional innovation systems (2016, background): “Recent research has started to strongly question the extent to which regional economic development can be achieved through the utilisation of localised knowledge spillovers (Huggins, Johnston, and Steffenson 2008; Power and Malmberg 2008; Kitagawa 2009).”
The Economic and Innovation Contribution of Universities: A Regional Perspective (2009, background): “…education institutions (HEIs) have come to be regarded as key sources of knowledge utilisable in the pursuit of economic growth, with knowledge commercialisation and transfer activities attaining a more important role within universities (Etzkowitz, 2003; Lester, 2005; Huggins et al., 2008a).”
Universities and open innovation: the determinants of network centrality (2019, background): “Furthermore, rising levels of national and transnational academic–industry partnerships demonstrate that neither firms nor universities consider knowledge flows to be necessarily spatially constrained (Huggins et al. 2008; Varga and Parag 2009).”
Knowledge flow and inter-firm networks: The influence of network resources, spatial proximity and firm size (2010, background): “Universities are increasingly viewed as important sources of knowledge for the business community, with a raft of policy initiatives to develop strong linkages (Kitagawa 2004 ; Lawton Smith and Bagchi-Sen 2006 ; Huggins, Johnston, and Steffenson 2008 ).”
