Abstract: | In this study, we respond to calls for further investigation on why and how scientists choose to commercialize their research.
Mowery (University entrepreneurship and technology transfer: process design, and intellectual property, Elsevier, Oxford 2005), in his criticism of the US-system, emphasizes the need for multiple channels between university and industry. His argument
makes the case of Sweden interesting, where the researchers own the intellectual property of their research. Sweden thus constitutes
a unique case where data can be found on which choices researchers make in a setting where a variety of channels for transfer
are available. Our empirical data, collected through case studies, allowed for the expansion of the typology for mechanisms
for transfer of academic research as well as the development of a typology for determinants for researchers’ choice to engage
in transfer of research. Apart from those contributions to the theoretic discussion, the data also provided policy implications. |
