"when businesses are asked to identify their most frequently used and important sources of knowledge for innovation universities appear low on the list"

Specifically, 15th (UK) and 14th (US)

"In both countries internal knowledge within the business, customers, suppliers and other businesses were the dominant sources... followed by ...trade associations environmental and standard setting bodies and public and private sector consulting and advisory bodies" 2/
