Capturing Knowledge

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the dynamics of knowledge transfer from universities to firms, the book examines the dual benefits of such partnerships: immediate private gains for firms and broader long-term societal benefits. It begins with a literature review, followed by an overview of the Small Business Innovation Act of 1982 and the role of universities in SBIR projects. Empirical analyses highlight how university collaborations influence the success of SBIR-funded initiatives, ultimately assessing both private and public gains. The conclusion synthesizes these insights.
