Abstract

A quantitative analysis of innovation activity and its relation to traditional academic activity at Chalmers University of Technology is presented. A list of 14 yardsticks of faculty performance is given and compared with the innovation activities. A description of the steadily increasing patent application and spin-off company activity at Chalmers is presented. The undergraduate grades of spin-off company founders are compared with those of non-founders. The average grades in the two groups are very similar, but the spreads in grades of the individual students in the two groups are significantly different. Spin-off company founders tend to have a wider spread in grades than non-founders. A study of science citations vs patent applications for 44 researchers/inventors at Chalmers reveals a strong positive rank correlation between these two activities.
