Tiivistelmä
The literature on university engagements in regional development is broad and diverse. A broader
comparative investigation of how to align the university-industry linkages (UILs) to address the desired
regional needs and collective and reciprocal involvements of regional actors to achieve identified focal
outcomes is still lacking. The aim of this paper is to conduct a comparative investigation on the key
trends of development trajectories of UILs in advanced and emerging country contexts concerning
desired regional needs and unveil the dynamics of the orientations of interaction approaches. For that,
the article carry out a literature based investigation on selected six advanced and emerging economies
(Japan, South Korea, Finland, China, India, Thailand) which have demonstrated certain similarities in
economic activities, university research and teaching conditions under the respective country groups.
The data are analysed based on content analysis method. The paper demonstrates that UILs in India
and Thailand are limitedly diversified while Chinese experiences reflect certain similarities to the
contexts in advanced economies. In the country group of advanced economies, it reflects better
commitments and engagements of university sector in relation with Finnish context compared to
other countries. The paper highlights the key focused outcomes identified in the development
trajectories of UILs and the specific orientations of UILs, based on the desired regional needs of
respective countries. Additionally, the potential lessons that could be identified are also shown.
