Objectives , Agreements and Matching in Science-Industry Collaborations : Reassembling the Pieces of the Puzzle (2003, methodology): “Thursby et al. (2001)used data from the Association for University Technology Managers (AUTM) survey and built their own survey of 62 TTO managers.”
The nexus between science and industry: evidence from faculty inventions (2012, background): “6 consulting activities, in which no university resources were used.10 Interviews with TTO personnel further revealed that presumably less than 50% of the inventions made at universities are not commercialized through university TTOs but directly with an industry partner (Thursby et al., 2001).”
Entrepreneurship from the Ivory Tower: Do Incentive Systems Matter? (2004, background): “The potential value of incentive systems seem particularly important—to both faculty and their departments—given that in over 70% of technology transfers, faculty involvement in commercializing the technology is necessary even after a license agreement is signed ( Thursby et al., 2001; Markman et a”
Inventing and patenting activities of scientists: in the expectation of money or reputation? (2010, background): “Thursby et al. (2001) argued that scientists who specialize in basic research may not disclose because they are unwilling to spend time on the applied R&D required to interest business in licensing invention.”
University patenting and its effects on academic research: The emerging European evidence (2006, background): “11 See, among others, Blumenthal et al. (1997), Campbell et al. (2000), Cohen (2001), Nelson (2001), Thursby et al. (2001), Campbell et al. (2002) and Jensen and Thursby (2002).”
Fostering university-industry R&D collaborations in European Union countries (2015, background): “Several drawbacks to university involvement with industry have also been identified in the literature (Thursby et al. 2001).”
The Disclosure and Licensing of University Inventions (2003, neutral): “Thursby et al. (2001) report that, even for industry funded inventions, less than 5% of the universities in the survey allow faculty ownership of inventions.”
Entrepreneurial practices in research-intensive and teaching-led universities (2016, background): “However, in some instances, rigid administrative rules enforced by TTOs and inflexibility of university units can stifle commercialisation activities (Siegel et al. 2004; Thursby et al. 2001).”
Engaging the scholar: Three types of academic consulting and their impact on universities and industry (2008, background): “According to a US survey, 71% of outlicensed inventions (including to spin-offs) required inventor assistance for being successfully commercialized (Thursby et al., 2001).”
Are Faculty Critical? Their Role in University-Industry Licensing (2003, background): “…well beyond simply disclosing research, with faculty often identifying licensees as well as working with licensees in further development (see, for example, Agrawal and Henderson 2001, Colyvas et al. 2002, Jensen and Thursby 2001, Lowe 2002, Thursby et al. 2001, and Thursby and Thursby 2002).”
Pathways to impact and the strategic role of universities: new evidence on the breadth and depth of university knowledge exchange in the UK and the factors constraining its development (2012, neutral): “…et al 2005; DiGregorio and Shane, 2003; Krabel and Muller 2009; Landry et al, 2006; O'Shea et al 2005 and 2008); university licensing (Shane, 2002; Thursby et al 2001); patents (Azoulay et al, 2007; Fabrizio and Di Minin, 2008; Owen Smith et al 2001); and science parks (Phan et 2005; Siegel…”
