Stanford and Silicon Valley: Lessons on Becoming a High-Tech Region
基于历史数据与档案，分析斯坦福大学在硅谷形成期（1945-1965）对当地企业的四种外联项目，发现其重点在吸引外部企业而非扶持本地初创企业，为其他地区建设高科技区域提供不同模式。
What role should the academic anchor play in the development of a high-tech region? Based on analysis of historical data and archival documents, this article explores the question by looking at an illuminating case, the relationship between Stanford University and Silicon Valley, the quintessential high-tech entrepreneurial region. During the Valley9s crucial formative years (1945-1965), Stanford had four principal programs of outreach to the local business community. In each case, Stanford9s default mode of industrial outreach was to seek satellite operations of established firms based elsewhere (such as Lockheed), while its assistance to indigenous firms (and start-ups) was ancillary at best. For those trying to establish a high-tech region elsewhere, the lesson may be not to try to replicate Silicon Valley9s contemporary university-industry relationship and the central role of entrepreneurship. The Valley9s formative years offer a different model for the contributions of an academic anchor to the development of a high-tech region.
