AbstractThe research study set out to analyse critically the nature of university-industry linkage and how it is perceived by higher education in Vietnam. The author first reviews the nature of university-industry linkage in term of historical background, mechanisms, activities, benefits, adverse impacts and different perspectives from university and industry. He contends that university-industry linkage is increasingly favoured by universities and industry in both developing and developed countries as a solution to the improvement of teaching and research quality, and competitiveness and productivity. The case study of corporate relations at ESCP-EAP-Paris was developed and analysed to illustrate the practices of linkage. The lessons learnt from the case are valuable to Vietnamese universities in formulating and managing university - industry relations. By exposing both positive and negative side of university - industry linkage and its effects on universities, the author aims to analyse the Higher Education System in Vietnam on the aspects of development and research capacity and financial source diversification, evaluate the perceptions of Vietnamese faculty members through their experiences and future prospects of university - industry linkage, and strongly recommend the development of university-industry linkages to improve the performance of higher education as a whole.
