Many have written about the challenges that industrial research organizations face in trying to transfer the technology they create to other organizations. Research pursues a long and winding road from the proof of concept of a technology in the lab to the adoption of that technology by others and its use for corporate benefit. To follow the road to its end requires persistence, determination, ...

It is widely believed that an important factor underlying the rapid growth in China is increased foreign direct investment (FDI) and the transfer of foreign technology capital, which is accumulated know-how from investment in research and development (R&D), brands, and organizations that is not specific to a plant. In this paper, we study two channels through which FDI can contribute to upgradi...

TT centers on the communication of information that is intended to accomplish a task. TT is a particularly difficult type of communication; often it is ineffective. TT is becoming a major management focus and involves a range of organizational, informational, and behavioral challenges to getting knowledge (ideas and products) from research to process and market applications in a cost effective,...

A survey was conducted In 1970 and 1971 of the communication patterns of 1,500 research and development scientists and engineers working in Ireland. The techniques used in studying individual firms were adapted to suit the conditions within the country. The findings of this survey indicate that if international transfer of technology is to be fostered, more attention should be paid to the devel...

This paper reviews the background and concepts relevant to understanding knowledge and technology transfer in the Internet2 project of UCAID. Drawing from presentations at the Knowledge and Technology Transfer Panel at the Internet2 Sociotechnical Summit, this paper suggests opportunities for research on technology transfer among UCAID collaborators working on new developments for advanced netw...

to empower the farmer villagers, execution of training programs including semi-presence training, open training and virtual training is essential. the main purpose of the present research is to determine the factors affecting the enabler trainings to farmer villagers with an emphasis on the component of culture and education technology using the interpretative structural modeling together with ...

The Image Understanding Environment (IUE) provides a large, robust, well-documented, C++ hierarchy and tool suite to support Image Understanding research and technology transfer. This paper describes the additions and improvements that have been made to the IUE since its rst public release at IUW'96.

Inverse lithography technology (ILT) treats photomask design for microlithography as an inverse mathematical problem. We show how the inverse lithography problem can be addressed as an obstacle reconstruction problem or an extended nonlinear image restoration problem, and then solved by a level set time-dependent model with finite difference schemes. We present explicit detailed formulation of ...

This paper analyzes the effects of a potential spillover on technology transfer of a multinational enterprise and on the host country policy. In particular, we examine how both parties’ incentives can be controlled through the ownership structure in an international joint venture. In contrast to existing arguments we show that spillovers must not always have negative effects on technology trans...
