Over the past several decades, industry-university cooperative research centers have revolutionized the way firms and universities interact with each other. Today, over 70 percent of industry-sponsored research is conducted within these centers. This book provides practical guidance on how to manage these linkage mechanisms. The editors and authors address every critical aspect of center management from start-up through technology transfer to succession planning. Every stakeholder group involved in these centers, including faculty, university administrators, industrial representatives, and government officials will benefit from the experience and evaluation-based strategies and best practices covered in each chapter.
