The problem of cooperation between science and business

Journal Title: Marketing Instytucji Naukowych i Badawczych - Year 2018, Vol 28, Issue 2

Abstract

The indicator of innovativeness of the Polish economy is among the lowest indicators in Europe. Research has shown that one of the reasons for this is low level of cooperation between science and business. Problems of cooperation of the sector of science and the sector of companies result to a large extent from a big difference in the organizational culture of the two communities. What distinguishes the two communities from each other is the perception of business issues, form of communication, the approach to solving disputable issues, approach to temporal and financial limitations, or even the way of building interpersonal relations. Changing this state of affairs requires time and patience, working out methods of building cooperation and learning from each other. In the article a diagnosis of chosen reasons for the unsatisfactory level of cooperation between science and business has been carried out and recommendations concerning methods of changing this situation have been presented. Theses • The main problem in building cooperation between the scientific and the business community results from major differences in organizational cultures of the two communities. • The key reasons are associated with the issue of differences in communication and building relations. • The change of the situation requires also changes in legal regulations, which should favour projects conducted in partnership of science and business. However, what is crucial are activities influencing the change of approach and mentality of the scientific community.
