Managing a microsatellite development programme within the university environment

Article Abstract:

Managing SUNSAT, a microsatellite development program at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, involves similar management functions needed to successfully implement an industrial project. A potent combination of leadership and administrative abilities are required. Within a university research environment, management skills must be bolstered by a secure technical basis and the capability to nourish human resources in an atmosphere where academic liberty is highly encouraged.

Science parks and university - industry interaction: geographical proximity between the agents as a driving force

Article Abstract:

Geographical proximity proves to be unimportant with regards to strengthening of formal links between university and industry. An analysis of a British science park reveals that formal links associated with research activity is not strengthened or affected by geographical proximity. On the other hand, study shows that informal and human resources links are positively affected by geographical proximity through the establishment of science parks.
