| Abstract | University and industry collaborative relationships are now widely practiced in many countries and are increasingly important in some developing countries. This paper a ims to show what is similar and what is different about the rel ationships between how universities interact with industrial firms in developing as contrasted with advanced industrial e conomies. We report some initial findings from our research project conducted in Sri Lanka. Our survey of universities and some industry representatives shows that although universities mi ght lack infrastructure, skills and resources required to fully support academic entrepreneurship, there is evidence of som e interesting collaborative initiatives starting up. We also present some suggestions for promoting these types of interactio ns based on evidence gathered from holding a mini workshop with staff representing a variety of different industry sectors. |
