Abstract
University research-based technological opportunities are often created and exploited through joint corporate and academic entrepreneurship activities such as university-industry research collaborations. This dissertation aims to understand what determines a good match between faculty and firms involved these relationships. Firm-faculty collaboration is approached as an endogenous matching process driven by the synergy in knowledge-creation capabilities of the partners. This theoretical model is applied to investigate whether and when attributes such as knowledge breadth and depth, scientific and technological capabilities are complements or substitutes in knowledge creation, and to assess their relative importance in the matching of faculty and firms.
