 ms shape their interactions with universities to build economic\, intell
 ectual and reputational capital?\n\nAuthors – Muthu De Silva\; Federica 
 Rossi and Nicola Searle\n\nAbstract:\n\nThe success of university-indust
 ry collaborations (UICs) very often depends on how they are initiated: t
 he initial decisions made on the form of collaboration\, and how to appr
 oach collaborators\, can have crucial implications on how the collaborat
 ion will develop and achieve success. In this study\, we investigate how
  firm’s intention to build different types of capital - economic\, intel
 lectual and reputational - affects their views concerning the most effec
 tive form of interaction and their choice of how to approach the univers
 ity. Our empirical analysis builds on an original dataset collected thro
 ugh an online survey of 190 British firms that collaborate with universi
 ties\, integrated with additional firm-level variables gathered from sec
 ondary sources\, and a further set of in-depth interviews with 16 of the
  survey respondents. Our findings suggest that firms that intend to deve
 lop economic capital from UICs are more likely to find channels that sup
 port knowledge acquisition as effective\, whereas firms that intend to d
 evelop reputational capital are more likely to find interaction channels
  that support knowledge co-creation as effective. Instead\, firms that i
 ntend to develop intellectual capital from UICs consider both knowledge 
 acquisition and knowledge co-creation interaction channels as effective.
  In turn\, firms are more likely to initiate interactions through instit
 utional-level sources when they perceive interaction channels that suppo
 rt knowledge acquisition as effective\; they are more likely to initiate
  interactions through individual-level sources when they perceive channe
 ls that support knowledge co-creation as effective. This way we advance 
 our understanding of capital building as simply an output of successful 
 UICs\, to an objective which influences firms’ decision making in the in
 itial stages of the collaboration. Our findings thus offer practical imp
 lications to firms and universities as to how they should initiate inter
 actions depending on the intensions of firms to develop certain types of
  capital.\n\nSpeaker's Bio:\n\nMuthu De Silva is a Professor of Innovati
