THE GENESIS OF INTERORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATIONS IN THE SCOPE OF ACADEMIC INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Today higher education coexists in close relationship with the real economy under its needs. The generation of innovations by business and higher educational establishments is one of the most important factors in the economic development of the country. Academic industrial partnership due to the obvious presence of the synergy effect of interorganizational engagement contributes to collaborative generation of innovations and their widespread application and implementation. The “University”-“Business” cooperation model creates an academic industrial partnership environment and also enables the synergy effect of interorganizational engagement. Thus, due to the relevance of the subject, it is proposed to distinguish interorganizational innovations as a different type of innovation. This approach requires the formulation of a definition of interorganizational innovations and poses several questions to the researcher. What are interorganizational innovations? To what extent have interorganizational innovations been studied in Russian and foreign scientific literature? What are the characteristics of interorganizational innovations? Is it possible to manage interorganizational innovations? How to manage them? What place does interorganizational innovations occupy or can occupy in generally accepted classifications of innovation? The listed questions, some of which are answered in this article, determine the trajectory of further research. This study sequentially analyzes scientific works covering interorganizational innovations. The scientific novelty of this study is the complement of the existing theoretical approaches with the definitions of “interorganizational innovations”, “innovation management” in the context of interorganizational engagement as well as determining the trajectory of further research including finding the place of interorganizational innovations in the generally accepted and most relevant classifications proposed by relevant studies.

Keywords: academic industrial partnership, types of innovation, interorganizational engagement, interorganizational innovation, innovation management
