SUMMARY:How public policy can stimulate the capabilities of firms to inno
 vate in traditional industry through academic engagement: The case of th

DESCRIPTION: This paper provides a detailed\, longitudinal case study of 
 university-industry interactions in the Swedish food industry\, from the
  1990s to the present\, analyzed as a case where public policy can stimu
 late the development of firm capabilities. Existing research\, both theo
 retical and empirical\, offers few insights into how university-industry
  interactions occur in traditional sectors. Based upon existing literatu
 re from all sectors\, this paper proposes an initial conceptualization\,
  which distinguishes between commercialization and academic engagement w
 ith industry. The case study\, set in the context of the Swedish food in
 dustry\, captures aspects of transformation and regeneration in this ind
 ustry\, which have been underway from the 1990s to the present. Based up
 on this analysis\, the conceptual model is revised. The model specifies 
 how public policy can stimulate the firms’ capabilities to innovate\, th
 rough academic engagement with industry\, and in traditional industries 
 where this type of firm capabilities did not previously exist. Hence\, t
 here are implications for how public policy can help regenerate traditio
 nal industry through the intersection of business innovation\, scientifi
 c research and the development of capabilities in firms.
