Abstract

This paper explores a theoretical framework, the antecedent factors that shape it, and a practical interactive study for formalizing industry-university collaborations in the field of lighting. The framework uses an identity paradigm – an educational identity for the lighting industry and an entrepreneurial identity for universities. It further argues that such an identity exchange provides better avenues to address the performance of industry-university collaborations. These collaborations are viewed as learning interactions and decisions based on knowledge transfer between individuals from the lighting industry and universities. The proposed interactive study using survey research will be designed to enable participating individuals from the lighting industry and universities to heuristically evaluate the knowledge transfer required for establishing and maintaining successful industry-university collaborations. Responses are invited from interested individuals in the lighting industry and universities for developing a set of conditional propositions to improve the performance of such collaborations.
