and differentiated boundaries supported in the literature by Szelenyi and
Bresonis (2014). Moreover, there is a surveys explain the investigation the
knowledge flows among and between project managers and project man-
agement office members (academicians), using a mixed-methods approach
(Müller et al. 2013).

The academia – industry nexus is somehow one of the most captivat-
ing, productive, and important network in the whole of business discovery
and development, even if at times this alliance is not always harmonious
(Molly, Ployhart, and Wright 2011). The latter is example from the natu-
ral sciences (Sanchez-Serrano 2011). The impact of academic findings has
governed every aspect of business development, from the initial identifica-
tion of targets to the understanding of economic and knowledge pathways
of students, academicians and business executives. It may therefore be sur-
prising that despite the great productivity of the academia–industry rela-
tionship, interaction between academia and industry in recent years has
been under attack (Sanchez-Serrano 2011; Bansal et al. 2012). The authors
explores these important issues in this paper and launch a case study to im-
prove this and next nexuses, while ever since the beginning back in the
middle- to late-1800s, the business has had an extremely close nexus with
academia (Sanchez-Serrano 2011).

Without the chemical, physiological, and biological academic discov-
eries that took place in Europe throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the
pharmaceutical industry would never have come into existence. In the time
of services there is a need for co-productive academia – industry nexus in
the service economy for innovations and for higher gross domestic product
(GDP). The later appertain even colossally for developed and East Europe-
an countries (Mihók et al. 2015).

Slovenia should take a path of Western countries (Mihók et al. 2015)
while launching the benefits for innovations and higher GDP (Juselius
2009). Since the industry’s early years, when universities in France, Britain,
and particularly Germany, followed by universities in the United States,
provided the industry with an massive prosperity of expertise, brainchild,
and innovation that were translated by industry into products and more re-
cent into services. The impact of academic discoveries has enormous influ-
ence (Sanchez-Serrano 2011).

Scientific collaboration between academia and industry has a long his-
tory in the United States and abroad reported by Haller (2014). The ethi-
cal pitfalls of scientists of patents dealing directly with industry stimulat-
ed much public discussion, with a resultant of repercussion demoralizing
collaboration as studied by Haller (2014). This evolution is discussed, and
