Empirical Investigation of the Roles of Prior Knowledge and Learning Activities in Technology Transfer
This study analyzes 120 university–industry technology transfer projects. A significant positive relationship was found between the learning activities performed by the firm during the development and implementation stages of the technology transfer project and the benefits to that firm from the project.
Assessing the Relative Performance of U.K. University Technology Transfer Offices: Parametric and Non-Parametric Evidence
The authors present evidence on the relative efficiency of United Kingdom (UK) university technology transfer offices (TTOs) using data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier estimation. Findings indicate that U.K. TTOs exhibit low levels of absolute efficiency.

Technology Transfer through Backward Linkages : The Case of the Spanish Manufacturing Industry
The aim of this paper is to examine technology transfer through backward linkages between multinational entreprises and local suppliers. Results show strong evidence on technology spillovers through backward linkages, especially in the case of export-oriented affiliates and fully-owned affiliates.
Technology Transfer: Bringing Innovation to NASA and the Nation
The report concludes organizational changes, budget difficulties, and a significant increase in privately funded research and development (R&D) nationally are hindrances for NASA in its technology transfer efforts.
Analyzing the Effectiveness of University Technology
Transfer: Implications for Entrepreneurship Education
The authors review and synthesize the burgeoning literature on institutions and agents engaged in the commercialization of university-based intellectual property. These studies indicate that institutional incentives and organizational practices both play an important role in enhancing the effectiveness of technology transfer.
Regional Integration And North-South Technology Diffusion: The Case of Nafta
The authors examine the impact of NAFTA on total factor productivity in Mexico through its impact on trade-related technology transfers from OECD countries. Trade-related technology diffusion is estimated with the use of a measure of trade-related foreign research and development.
