Research aim is to analyse trajectories of development of commercial companies that collaborate with higher education and research institutions (HERI). In the first chapter of the dissertation the epistemological validation of organisational development is presented, the trajectory of development of commercial company is conceptualised, collaboration between commercial companies and HERI, the circumstances and conditions of formation of trajectories of commercial companies are considered. In the second chapter of the dissertation the methodology of research on trajectories of development of commercial companies in collaboration with HERI is validated. In the third chapter of the dissertation the results of empirical research are considered in accordance with the individual characteristics of dimensions of a trajectory of development of a commercial company after applying qualitative content analysis and comparing the statements of informants from three different groups. Having systematized the results of qualitative content analysis the hierarchical cluster analysis was performed and the types of trajectories of trajectories of development of commercial companies in collaboration with HERI. Theses to be defended: 1. Trajectory of development of commercial company can be successfully analysed by combining theoretical approaches of open systems theory, resource theory, and the concept of dynamic capabilities. 2. Internal and external forces make different effects on development of commercial companies: internal forces stimulate and (or) hinder it, external forces stimulate and (or) limit it. 3. Trajectory of development of commercial company is a two-dimensional phenomenon comprising the dimensions of time and change. |
