Abstract:
Fostering closer ties between industry and universities in order to achieve
better technology diffusion has become one of the major political issues in
Sweden. However, little is known to what extent industries participate in
scientific research, what their contribution is to knowledge production.
Against the background of the contemporary global changes that are taking
place in knowledge production, an attempt is made to capture the changing
pattern of industrial scientific research activities in Sweden. Like many
other countries Sweden is changing its pattern of conducting research.
Private firms are being increasingly integrated into national and
international academic networks and collaborate with a variety of players.
Cooperation and networking are proving to be ideal forms of scientific
production for firms. We show that knowledge production is to a decreasing
extent a self-contained activity in Sweden, and that through scientific
co-authorships firms, primarily foreign firms, are becoming important
players in Swedish industrial scientific research. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
