Zusammenfassung
My purpose is to review, synthesize and criticize the voluminous, multidisciplinary literature on technology transfer. To reduce the literature to manageable proportions, I focus chiefly not exclusively on recent literature on domestic technology transfer from uniÍersities and goÍernment laboratories. I begin by examining a set of fundamental conceptual issues, especially the ways in which the analytical ambiguities surrounding technology transfer concepts affect research and theory. My literature review follows and I emphasize technology transfer’s impact and effectiveness. I employ a ‘‘Contingent Effectiveness Model of Technology Transfer’’ to organize the literature. As the model’s name implies, it assumes that technology effectiveness can take a variety of forms. In addition to examining the more traditional effectiveness criteriathose rooted in market impacts- the model considers a number of alternative effectiveness criteria, including political effectiveness, capacity-building.
