Improving the efficiency of the knowledge and technology transfer process for the purpose of strengthening the link between science and industries is one of the European key challenges. Due to constrained public budgets the investments in research requires that organizations participating in public funded research are capable to play a strategic role in the technology and knowledge transfer process. Even if the European framework programs have already established several mechanisms to improve the contribution of funded research projects to the innovation process, the success in sustaining these investments is far below its real potential. Technology transfer activities take place in quite different ways, depending on traditions, resources and economic structures, but always are depending on active commitment and participation of the involved actors within their organizational structures. Conventionally innovation and technology transfer is treated as a black box that is studied by comparison of its input and output or using statistical data. An approach introduced in this paper is a "white box" approach, i.e. it is taken an attempt to express innovation and technology transfer activities as decomposition into a set of single processes and their performance descriptions. This paper provides an overview of related literature in the area of impact assessments, as performance of university-industry collaboration mainly is based on these indicators. It is discussed that there is a need for more flexibility and an alternative approach based on capability assessments is introduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
