Process and Impact
Introduction
This title was first published in 2000: Due to budget cuts and competitiveness pressures, determining the outcome of technology transfer from government R&D laboratories to private industry and entrepreneurial start-ups is of increasing interest.
Case Studies and Methodology
This book presents a series of case studies of successful technology transfer by examining the same list of topics for each case. It presents a format for analyzing the cases, topic by topic - a methodology that could be used by any R&D laboratory.
Legislation Impact
The book also goes one step further and compares the cases that took place prior to national technology transfer legislation with those cases that took place after passage of such legislation.
Evaluation and Policy Context
An additional feature is the summary of existing attempts to measure and evaluate technology transfer. This follows a background section on the technology policy context.
Findings
The analysis finds that there is a significant commercial impact from government laboratory transfer using this approach.
