Strategies to Evaluate a UniversityIndustry Knowledge-exchange Programme

-Evaluating exchange programs.

Evaluation of a university-industry knowledge exchange programme

Provide industry with research- trained personnel equally at home in academic and
industrial settings, leading to more effective knowledge exchange, and raising the
level of knowledge- intensive skills in industry.

-Methods of evaluating exchange programs.

Programme theory evaluation

Outcome analysis

Policy discourse analysis

Qualitative network analysis

-Effects on innovation systems (p.480)

nnovation and knowledge- exchange activities are conceived as being embedded in

institutional frameworks which, together with previous patterns of interaction, to
some extent restrict the choices open to actors.

nnovation processes are thought to be partially path- dependent.

deally, new and lasting constellations and networks might be expected to spur the
development of, and in turn be re-inforced by, new instituonal rules governing action
and interaction, representing systemic change.

Australian and New Zealand University Students Participation in

International Exchange Programs
-

Explanation of exchange programs

Which students may gain such international knowledge and skills

Studies in the US and Europe have shown that students acknowledge that
participation in student exchange programs are benefical, but very few students
take this opportunity.

Benefits of exchange programs

Yachimowicz (1987) found that American college students, who studied abroad
for one year, demonstrated an increase in cultural and political knowledge while
those who did not participate in the program did not demonstrate such learning.

Qualitative analysis of Zhais (2000) study revealed that students global

perspective, intercultural sensitivity and openness to cultural diversity were
enhanced after participating in an exchange program.

Knowledge exchange and networks: a new destination for tourism internships?

The article meta after title will be split in order to highlight authors

Notes:

Destination networks

The industry partners are often considered to benefit from the arrangement,
primarily through recruitment opportunities and achieving corporate and social
responsibility objectives.

Supplementary host benefits can include knowledge exchange, such as receiving

innovative ideas and the latest theories from the students, as well as developing a
collaborative relationship with the university.

Knowledge of exchange programs

The objectives of the internship programme were to provide student participants

with a real-world and integrated learning experience through the medium of an
internship, and facilitate applied research outcomes for industry and enhance
academic-industry partnerships and engagement through knowledge exchange.

Detailed comparing between other topics

Importantly though, there are wider benefits associated with internship

programmes, for the educational institution, they can enhance their relationships
with the community and leverage off business and organisational resources to
enhance students learning experi- ences, as well as for the businesses and
organisations that host interns. Indeed, one of the most commonly recognised
benefits for participating organisations is that internships can be a valuable
opportunity to recruit staff

Research results

Respondents were unanimous in the benefits of the programme for students,

theyve had a lot of practical experience in areas they would not have had by just
doing a university course (IP-11) and I gave them lots of different scenarios of
how their life will be in hos- pitality if they choose it (IP-11). Interestingly though,
the traditional benefits of intern- ships, such as recruitment, which have been a
focus of the literature to date, were not so prevalent for the organisations
participating in TRIP. Only 13% of participants claimed that potential recruitment
opportunities were a factor in their decision to participate in the programme. Half
of the respondents maintain that it was not a factor that influenced their decision
at all, while the remaining participants had not considered this in the decisionmaking process; I really hadnt thought it through that far (IP-1), but were not
averse to the potential, no, no, just a happy accident at the end maybe (IP-5).
