Dr. Vitradesie Noekent, M.M., dissertation aims to uncover the mechanism of interaction, the stakeholders who interact, and the interaction media in the downstream process of the research and innovation results of universities in Indonesia. Using the theory of stakeholder identification and prioritization with a qualitative approach in the form of a single case study at three tertiary institutions, this dissertation formulates six types of university research and innovation outcomes that are labeled: knowledge production, community empowerment, industrial collaboration, pre-commercialization, socio-economic impacts, and commercialization. In general, the rotation of research and innovation results in tertiary institutions in Indonesia is a dynamic and non-linear process. In practice, the findings of this dissertation have implications that tertiary institutions are natural incubators that create a supportive environment so that the stakeholders of the research outputs can exploit and explore entrepreneurial initiatives that produce academic, economic, and social impacts. This dissertation suggests that higher education governance should be directed at understanding behavior that emphasizes paradigm changes, creating a climate of multidisciplinary collaboration in science, and transformational leadership that recognizes active contexts as determinants of individual behavior.
At the closing event, Nurul Indarti, Sivilokonom, Cand.Merc, Ph.D. as the Promoter congratulated promovendus and at the same time being proud and relieved for the achievement of the doctoral degree. Furthermore, the MD FEB UGM Program Manager Coordinator advised that the downstreaming of research can be published on the reputable journal. (RP)
