The Academic – Industry Cooperation and the (Long) Road from Strategy to Competitiveness ALBULESCU Viorel Liviu1,a*, NEAGU Corneliu1,b , DOICIN Cristian1,c , TONOIU Sergiu1,d 1Faculty of Engineering and Management of Technological Systems, POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest, Romania avalbulescu@icf.ro, bneagu_corneliu@yahoo.com, ccristian.doicin@cont-edu.pub.ro, dsergiu_ton@yahoo.com Keywords: academic-industry cooperation, technological resources, entrepreneurship, innovation Abstract.
Methodology, Results and Discussion The proposed analysis takes into account a focusing (i) macroeconomic, based on relevant data for 12 selected countries (three advanced economies and world leaders in innovation, three emerging countries and six former centralized economies) and (ii) microeconomic, supported by a national study conducted on a target group of 505 companies in manufacturing industry, distributed in all eight development regions of Romania (195 with Romanian capital and 310 with foreign capital).
The microeconomic perspective of the proposed analysis is given by the national study "The technology resource management at the level of the innovative firms", prepared, organized and completed during January - June 2014 by the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, by the contribution of the Faculty of Engineering and Management of Technological Systems, which has proposed to know the degree of interest of companies from manufacturing industry in collaboration with academic sector (universities, institutes, foundations etc), barriers to the innovation process, real difficulties in absorption and implementation of technologies, effects of the economic crisis.
The good practice in advanced countries, most OECD countries, emphasize that an efficient national innovation system (NIS) requires policies, programs and resources allocated in a motivational, coherent and stable flow, with accurate targets, in a symbiosis that does not alter the principles of the market economy, the government being a "player" interested in medium and long term effects, the competitiveness becoming the priority for all participants actively involved.
According to the proven best practices in advanced countries, the triple helix academic-industry-government has the force required to support the correlation between innovation, competitiveness and economic growth, but it must be associated with (i) a self restructuring of the triad and (ii) a general change in mentality.
