Abstract ▼ AI-Helper

The relationship between geographical proximity and academics' formal and informal knowledge-transfer activities in the network is analyzed with a mixed research method. With social network analysis as a basis, we have explored the networks between academics and firms in the 16 regions of South Korea. The result shows Seoul and Gyunggi are identified as central nodes, meaning that the academics in other regions tend to collaborate with firms in these regions. An econometric analysis is performed to confirm the localization of knowledge-transfer activities. The intensity of formal channels measured by the number of academic papers is negatively, but significantly associated with the geographical proximity. However, we have not found any significant relationship between the formality of the channels and geographical proximity. Possibly, the regional innovation systems in South Korea are neither big enough nor strong enough to show a localization effect.

문제 정의

In particular, Korean universities have contributed to industry through informal channels, such as graduates and consulting, during the last half of the century. Considering the specific characteristics of the Korean universities mentioned above, this research aims to provide an investigation of the network structure of Korean universities and firms.

가설 설정

● Are there any differences between the formal and informal networks of academics and firms?

제안 방법

Accordingly, in order to fill the gap in the existing research suggested above, this study adopts the mixed approach of social network analysis and regression analysis. In particular, this study focuses on the link (i.
93 %. In order to check the response bias, an independent two sample T-test was carried out according to various characteristics of the academics, such as career, gender, discipline, the country of training, and location.
Accordingly, in order to fill the gap in the existing research suggested above, this study adopts the mixed approach of social network analysis and regression analysis. In particular, this study focuses on the link (i.e. university-industry linkage) as well as the characteristics of the nodes (i.e. gender, age, and geographical location) of the two actors. In other words, in the university-industry network, the two actors are regarded as nodes, and the linkages are demonstrated as links.
This study explores the university-industry network structure in terms of the characteristics of the channels of knowledge transfer (e.g. the degree of formality) as well as the characteristics of the actors (e.g. geographical proximity or closeness to Seoul). To do this, we applied a mixed methods approach combining a social network analysis and an econometric approach.

대상 데이터

The web-based survey questionnaire was distributed to 18,523 professors in 56 Korean universities in science and engineering from the 28th of May until the 11th of June in 2007. The process took two weeks to complete; moreover, in order to increase the response rate, e-mails encouraging replies were sent to the professors who had not replied to the survey after one week.
