Overview: This paper examines how innovation strategy influences firms' level of involvement with university-based research. The results suggest that firms with internal R&D strategies more heavily weighted towards exploratory activities allocate a greater share of their R&D resources to exploratory university research and develop deeper multi-faceted relationships with their university research partners. In addition, firms with more centralized internal R&D organizations spend a greater share of their R&D dollars on exploratory research conducted at universities. In contrast to other external partners, the authors' find evidence suggesting that universities are preferred when the firm perceives potential conflicts over intellectual property.
