Popis: Research consortia represent a new organizational form which clarifies and highlights barriers and solutions to efficient and timely technology transfer. Using interview, archival, and survey data collected on MCC (the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation), it is suggested that four variables-communication, distance, equivocality, and motivation-are central to technology transfer processes within and between organizations.
