The Structures Interaction Model Of Universities And Business

Abstract

At the moment, effective interaction between higher schools and business environment in Russia is not built, which undoubtedly prevents the country from moving to a new stage in the development of society and catching up with developed countries in the field of innovative technologies. We have identified the main factor constraining the development of cooperation between universities and business, which is mainly due to the underestimation of university education involvement by high-tech companies. In this paper, we proposed a new interaction model for innovation process actors (universities, business, government) based on the Leydesdorff triple-helix model, the implementation of which is possible provided that the universities fulfill their integration function. In many developed countries, universities already fulfill this function in full, making an incommensurable contribution to the development of the national economy. The integration function of universities can be interpreted as a flow of knowledge created and appropriately supported by the efforts of universities through the activities coordination of all participants. Thus, thanks to the integration function of universities, the most favorable environment for the introduction of innovative activities in general arises and the status of higher schools is increasing. We have also developed a methodology that allows us to select the most priority researches in the transition from the regional level to the district level and from the district level to the national level, thanks to which it is possible to improve the efficiency of the proposed interaction model.
