處在知識經濟的時代，知識成為市場的競爭工具，如何透過良好的產學合作模式來提昇產業的競爭力成為當今重要的議題。本文之目的主要在以交易成本理論去探討產學合作情境中之控制機制，藉由國科會補助之生技產學合作個案，專訪個案中之產學雙方來實際檢視此研究。並於最後對產學合作研發案提出適當的合作模式之建議。

It has been an important issue on how to get universities to better contribute to the innovation process, especially in the knowledge-based economy. This paper aims to explore the control mechanism in the university-industry partnership through the framework of transaction cost theory. I conduct an empirical study of the collaborative process by providing the research-based evidence that focuses on the perspectives of two sets of faculties in a research university and a biotech company. The optimal control mechanisms will be suggested in the context of the uncertainties and ineffective communications in the R&D joint research projects.
