摘要：
Over the years, many tourism academics have expressed some concern about the paucity of university-industry cooperation, and particularly university-to-industry knowledge transfer (Frechtling, 2004; Xiao & Smith, 2007). This study aims at investigating the role of scientific excellence in academic engagement in knowledge transfer activities. Based on data obtained from scientists involved in tourism research we found that individual excellence, and especially participation in research projects as contractor, is positively related to engagement in knowledge transfer to industry. We also found a positive effect of getting the title of professor on knowledge transfer activities. Moreover, contrary to our prediction, we identified no association between institutional excellence and knowledge transfer initiatives.
