Nowadays, the changes in the dominant economic models, the emergence of knowledge-based economy and the lack of research budgets have caused the academic and research centers to pay attention to the commercialization of research findings. Although, there exist some studies pertaining to this topic, most of them have dealt with natural sciences rather than humanities and soft technology. To brid...

Technology entrepreneurship is a new topic in the field of Information Systems, although attempts to handle this phenomenon have been made in the management and technical literature in the past. Furthermore, complex technology artifacts are yearly the output of compound research projects developed by highly skilful individuals. The exploitation of these artifact is the process to address more p...

Abstract How do advanced materials ventures overcome the daunting commercializati...

We examine why commercialization of interdisciplinary research, especially from distant scientific domains, is different from commercialization of inventions from specialized or proximate domains. We argue that anticipated coordination costs arising from the need to transfer technology to licensee firms and from the need for an inventor team’s members to work together to further develop a techn...

The purpose of this study is to calculate the quantitative and qualitative contribution intellectual property rights owned by startups for successful commercialization. In 4th industrial revolution economy, rights, which play an important role in job creation economic growth, a very startups. particular, are most asset startups, it necessary promote sustainable growth through efficient manageme...

When startup innovation involves a potentially disruptive technology – initially lagging in the predominant performance metric, but with a potentially favorable trajectory of improvement – incumbents may be wary of engaging in cooperative commercialization with the startup. While the prevailing theory of disruptive innovation suggests that this will lead to (exclusively) competitive commerciali...

In recent years, much governmental investment has been committed to R&D in the area of information technology industry. However, its commercialization rate is reported to be lower than expected. In order to prevent such waste, feedback information obtained from the rigorous evaluation of the finished R&D project needs to be utilized for future selection of new projects. The main purpose of our ...

As digital technology over open networks evolves, commercialization of video streams is coming of age. Traditional models for video stream commercialization suffer from copyright infringement as digital technologies allow for easy and low cost reproduction of digital content. Models for the commercialization of video streams that preserve copyrights and scale well to a large number of users wou...

Using a new dataset encompassing more than 2,200 inventions made by Max Planck Society researchers from 1980 to 2004, we explore how licensee and technology characteristics affect the licensing and commercialization of technologies from public research. We find no evidence that spin-offs and external licensees systematically differ in their likelihood of successful commercialization. Technologi...

In order to gain insight into the public's perspective on using the minimally invasive technique transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as an enhancement tool, we analyzed and compared online comments in key popular press articles from two different periods (pre-commercialization and post-commercialization). The main conclusion drawn from this exploratory investigation is that public pe...
