Alliance raises many knowledge transfer and interfirm learning issues that have implications for how the alliance partners manage their cooperative learning activities in the alliance system. Many of these implications are grounded in the assumption that partners in the alliances have routines for transferring knowledge, learning, gaining management efficiencies. Thus organisations can support ...

results of an evaluation of the impact of agricultural science and technology (as and t) policy system institutions on efficiency and technical change in kenyan and ugandan agriculture are presented here. data envelopment analysis was used to derive efficiency and technical change and logistic regression applied to delineate as and t institutions that induced efficiency and technical progress. ...

technology transfer relationship between academic and productive sector possess a major concern in the modern societies. it is considered as a process by which knowledge and research result or technology for using, improving and/ or developing outputs, products and production processes are exchanged between the two sectors. although university- industry technology transfer is fundamental to the...

Research Institutions (RIs) in last decades have been involved in both production of technological applications and commercialisation of research results for the sake of technology transfer. These tasks are frequently taken as overlapping by both practitioners and theory, whereas they should be ideally separated. The present paper focus on the latter, by questioning why RIs have to be involved ...

The issue of technology transfer has been viewed from many different perspectives. In this case the focus is on the process of (production) technology transfer. One of the difficulties in studying international technology transfer is the definition of technology. The many technology definitions that exist are either too ‘loosely’ formulated or they require thorough expert knowledge. This result...

Industrial demands for more compact heat exchangers are a motivation to find new technology features. Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) is introduced as a promising phenomenon for heat transfer enhancement mechanisms. Similar to any new technology, EHD has not been understood completely yet and requires more fundamental studies. In boiling phase change phenomena, nucleation is the dominant mechanism i...

course contents of b.sc. and even m.sc. or ph.d. programs in electrical power engineering in our country is mainly based on conventional; technologies employed in different sectors of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. electricity industry in iran has been successful in localization and transfer of technology from foreign countries and research centers and universities ha...
