TOWARDS BETTER UNIVERSITY–BUSINESS COLLABORATION:
The role of organisational, social and policy innovations
The issue addressed in this study is the low level of collaboration between university research and teaching and the Tunisian business sector. The aim of the research is to test the influence of organisational, social and political innovation on university-industry collaboration. The data used to test our conceptual model are drawn from the Global Competitiveness Reports published by the World Economic Forum and the Global Innovation Reports published by WIPO. Regression analyses show that university-industry collaboration is significantly influenced by the three dimensions of innovation, namely organisational, social and political innovation.
