Summary Table of Contents Author Biography

Praise for Developing University-Industry Relations"This timely book is an excellent read and a very useful guide for those who work in the increasingly important area of the interface between universities and industry. It is a highly recommended collection of articles from several of the most significant programs in the U.S. and outlines the principles and operations which have made these programs successful."-John B. Simpson, president, University at Buffalo?"I was privileged to serve as Computer Science and Engineering department chair at th... MOREe University of Washington during the 1990s, when Bob Miller, Gerry Barnett, Pat Jones, and Chuck Williams developed what was widely regarded as one of the most innovative and successful software tech transfer practices in the nation. This must-read book is chock-full of insights from individuals with vast experience."-Ed Lazowska, Bill & Melinda Gates Chair in Computer Science and Engineering, University of Washington?"I read the whole book in one sitting on an airplane flight, and it is great! This is truly a useful primer for research administrators and many others in university administration. I couldn't wait to land and e-mail our management group to read this gem. I will come back to it often to help me explain, manage, and advocate for smart ways to build business-university relations."-Andrew C. Comrie, associate vice president for research and dean of the Graduate College, University of Arizona?"This book is a must-read with high heuristic value for university administrators wanting to augment university-industry relations. The chapters reveal the personal successes of practitioners at the cutting edge of this arcane business and how they were successful in developing and managing these relationships."-MRC Greenwood, chancellor emerita, University of California, Santa Cruz

Senior leaders in both universities and companies rarely have the time or expertise to master the details necessary to manage operations essential for effective university/industry affairs.

Developing University-Industry Relations draws on the experiences of some of the most renowned research universities on the U.S. West Coast and in Canada. Each campus has a solid record of providing a vital resource for the growth of their regional economies through innovative technology transfer and commercialization initiatives with companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Google, Discovery Parks, and Cohen-Boyer. In this book, the authors offer a wealth of exemplary best practices and proven strategies from these forward-thinking institutions. They show what it takes to sustain strong university-industry collaborations that will allow for successful technology transfer.�
