Abstract Are IndustryUniversityResearch Institute (IUR) collaborations helpful to the realization of the main goal (good academic performance) of the universities? This issue has not been fully investigated so far.By taking the research universities' academic teams that participate in IUR collaborations as the research sample,this paper attempts to explore how three types of partnerships (i.e.,academic exchange relationship,academic participation relationship and academic commercialization relationship) that research universities form with industries influence the academic performance by using the methodologies of theoretical deduction and empirical analysis.This paper finds that these three types of IUR collaborations affect the academic performance of research universities in different manners.More specifically,the academic exchange relationship does not significantly influences the academic performance of research universities,and the academic participation relationship has a significant positive linear effect on the academic performance of research universities,while the academic commercialization relationship demonstrates a negative and statistically significant influence on the academic performance of research universities.Moreover,this study also presents some inspiration for research universities regarding how to properly maintain the collaborative relationship with industries to improve the academic performance.
