Abstract: | Korean public research institutes (PRIs) are experimenting with a consortia approach for promoting public-to-private technology
transfer. This research examines the effectiveness of five regional technology transfer consortia operating in Korea from
2002 to 2006 and explores their characteristics including motivations, facilitators, barriers, and challenges. The paper reports
both quantitative and qualitative evidence. Archival and survey data were collected on the effectiveness and characteristics
of the technology transfer consortia. The proposition was supported that membership in these consortia can enhance the technology
transfer performance of participating PRIs. Reasons on how consortia increase PRI performance are discussed and four key drivers
are seen as being critical to increasing the effectiveness of consortia. Conclusions focus on lessons learned for policy makers,
PRIs, and consortia. |
