Past success
Many ideas have come to life earlier because of the collaboration (from Watson, Almaden, Zurich, Tokyo, … at IBM) with universities Relational database RISC (and other processor architectures) RAID SiGe Semiconductor process technologies System Reliability
…
Many of which have gone on to make the research ubiquitous, researchers famous, and revenue for the corporation.

But, how does this collaboration go on?
Are students getting the right training to work and succeed in this global collaborative workplace?Many students got the experience of working in small, physically
co-located teams at university; identical to the workplace of the 1960s and 1980s.
Are universities able to sustain collaboration with a globally dispersed corporate team?Corporations may develop a single innovation with teams that
span the USA, Canada, Germany, India, China and Japan. Different parts of the innovation get developed in different locations. How does a university collaborate?(Very different from the early database days when most of the IBM work was centered in either Silicon Valley with a little work in Poughkeepsie – easy to pick the leaders and work with them.)
