Annotation: Joint efforts to produce new technology are marked by complicated interrelationships. Studies that seek to measure outcomes of public/private collaborations mostly measure output quantitatively in terms of papers, patents, etc. and some qualify the more subjective benefits. Examining how successful partnerships work involves many sub-factors.
