I examine the potential impact of 36 innovation, technology and market characteristics that may determine, at an early stage assessment, the probability that R&D projects will later reach the market. Analysis is based on data from 561 R&D projects developed outside of established organizations. Administrative records contained subjective evaluations of 36 project characteristics conducted at th...

In recent years, companies have increased their use of internal and external sources in pursuit of a competitive advantage through the effective and timely commercialization of new technology. Grounded in the resource-based view of the firm, this study examines the effect of a company’s use of internal and external sources on multiple dimensions of successful technology commercialization (TC). ...

There are a number of procedures required by researchers to undergo before the outcome of their research products known as intellectual properties (IP) can get to the market for economic values. In this volume, researchers examine the interrelationships among these procedures, policy issues and communication flow with commercialization experienced by researchers in selected Malaysian higher ins...

ranked ninth in nano-science production, iran has a bright and hopeful perspective to exploit business opportunities and create wealth of this technology. universities and research centers as organizations in where researchers study, play an effective role in research commercialization. the purpose of this research is to identify and prioritize organizational factors affecting commercialization...

The paper presents a game theoretic model of technology cooperation where a developing country firm has the options of either developing an innovation alone, purchasing information or collaborating with a developed country firm.

though the worldwide age of nanotechnology dates back to almost half a century, it has become an influential technology in industry. nanotechnology has become a competitive advantage with a rapid growth rate for iran nearly for a decade. above all, the pursuit of competitive advantage in the field of nanotechnology involves the commercialization of academic research. based on the theoretical fo...

This paper provides a key driver-based conceptual framework that can be used to improve a firm’s success in commercializing technology and in new product innovation resulting from collaboration with other organizations through strategic alliances. Based on a qualitative study using an interview approach, strategic alliances of entrepreneurs in the food processing industry in Thailand are explor...

We offer empirical information on the correlates of commercialization activity for research projects funded through the US National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award program. Based on this analysis we suggest possible recommendations for improving this aspect of the performance of NIH's SBIR program. Specifically, we estimate a model of the probabili...
