Academic engagement
We provide a systematic review of the literature on academic engagement from 2011 onwards, which was the cut-off year of a previous review article published in Research Policy. Academic engagement refers to knowledge-related interactions of academic scientists with external organisations. It includes activities such as collaborative research with industry, contract research, consulting and informal ties. We consolidate what is known about the ind…
Academic engagement and commercialisation
A considerable body of work highlights the relevance of collaborative research, contract research, consulting and informal relationships for university–industry knowledge transfer. We present a systematic review of research on academic scientists’ involvement in these activities to which we refer as ‘academic engagement’. Apart from extracting findings that are generalisable across studies, we ask how academic engagement differs from commercialis…

Performing Greek Comedy
Alan Hughes presents a new complete account of production methods in Greek comedy. The book summarises contemporary research and disputes, on such topics as acting techniques, theatre buildings, masks and costumes, music and the chorus. Evidence is re-interpreted and traditional doctrine overthrown. Comedy is presented as the pan-Hellenic, visual art of theatre, not as Athenian literature. Recent discoveries in visual evidence are used to stimula…
Open innovation, the Haldane principle and the new production of knowledge
The paper looks at the system of knowledge production and innovation in the UK from a Mode 2 perspective. It is critical of policy that focuses on science and engineering, on distinctions between basic and applied research, and that looks to notions of the entrepreneurial university. Extensive survey work of individual academics and UK firms reveals an extensive range of linkages between academics and industry, many personal rather than instituti…
Outside Enterpreneurial Capital
This article investigates factors that affect rejection rates in applications for outside finance among different types of investors (banks, venture capital funds, leasing firms, factoring firms, trade customers and suppliers, partners and working shareholders, private individuals and other sources), taking into account the non-randomness in a firm's decision to seek outside finance. The data support the traditional pecking order theory. Further,…

The ‘Perseus Dance’ Vase Revisited
For 70 years the image of an apparent comic actor performing on a simple stage has been known primarily from the drawing by Gilliéron. This paper is founded on the first direct study of the Vlasto chous since 1935. The author compares the vase with the drawing, showing that while scholars ought to have been sceptical of Gilliéron, he was reasonably accurate. Interpretations of the imagery from Caputo, who first studied the vase (1935), to Schmidt…
Comedy in Paestan vase painting
The ‘phlyax’ vases of magna graecia are now known to represent actors and staging of Middle Comedy. More than half of the comic vases dating from the third quarter of the fourth century BC were painted in Paestum by Asteas and his circle, who were influenced by the Sicilian Painter of Louvre K 240. This paper asks whether these painters worked from direct observation of the theatre; and if so, whether the vases are evidence for details of perform…

Comic Stages in Magna Graecia
It has long been believed that the style of comedy depicted on southern Italian vases of the fourth century BC was a local Italiote form called phylax . A. D. Trendall, the leading authority on the vases, has consistently taken the view that the plays were ‘impromptu’ performances, ‘in which light, movable sets could be used to indicate the required background’. It is not surprising that this has become accepted history: the vases, it is believed…
Age, Size, Growth and Survival
This paper examines growth and survival amongst quoted and unquoted U.K. companies in the period 1975-85 and compares the results with earlier U.K. and U.S. studies. An examination of death rates shows that smaller companies had higher death rates but the largest and smallest companies were least vulnerable to takeover. Careful attention is, therefore, paid to problems of sample selection bias. It is shown that smaller companies grew faster than …
The Rise and Fall of the Golden Age
This chapter focuses on the six major OECD countries — France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States — during the ‘golden age’ and its aftermath. It follows the ‘regulation’ approach invented by French economists such as Michel Aglietta, Robert Boyer, and Alain Lipietz, and developed as well by Americans such as David Gordon and Michael Piore. It highlights the emphasis on the interaction of internal and external forces, forces…
Policy Review Section
In this Policy Review Section, Alan Hughes of the Small Business Research Centre, Cambridge University, examines trends in the small firm sector during the 1980s. A major part of the changes in the numbers of small firms in the UK manufacturing sector is shown to be the result of a change in the way the data are collected. Increases in the number of small businesses in manufacturing and the economy as a whole have been heavily concentrated in the…
