Characteristics of Knowledge Interactions between Universities and Small Firms in Japan

Nobuya Fukugawa

Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, pg01106{at}srv.cc.hit-u.ac.jp

Based on university-level data, characteristics of industry-university linkages in Japan were examined. The results of statistical analysis present a contrasting picture regarding the characteristics of knowledge interactions according to the size of industrial partners. On the one hand, on the basis of direct connections, university-based scientists with high research potential are linked with large firms in broad areas through highly interactive spillover channels such as joint research. On the other hand, through the intermediation of liaison offices, university-based scientists with low research potential are linked with small firms, through less interactive spillover channels such as technical consultation.

Key Words: innovation • small firms • spillover • universities
