Universities in the Western countries have become complex organizations involving many kinds of activities. Since the Second World War, the traditional functions of universities - academic research and higher education - have expanded simultaneously as universities have taken on a whole variety of societal service functions often termed the university's third mission (Clark 1998). From the beginning of the 1980s, a central part of this changed landscape has been the commercialization of university research results. According to a number of analysts, this alteration, fostered by competitiveness-oriented national innovation policies (Slaughter and Rhoads 1996), has led to the intermingling of public university and private business activities. Four different conceptions of such hybridization can be identified.
