“…With regards to KSTE, the university-introduced innovation is a mechanism for knowledge spillover and some academic motivations act as knowledge filters in the creation of university-born innovation, while some are captured by entrepreneurial intentions. Although Simmons and Hornsby (2014) have introduced a stage based model of AE, in which individual faculty members, university, industry and government motivations are seen as the first stage in this process, according to most references found when researching for this model development (Ndonzuau et al, 2002;Rasmussen, 2009;Rasmussen, 2011;Wood, 2011;Secundo & Elia, 2014;Thomas et al, 2020), university-sourced innovation alone initiates the process of AE.…”

“…Investment of time in an informal interaction with the industry positively affects the research collaboration [39]. Thomas et al highlighted the role and importance of individual actors in academic entrepreneurship as enablers for the lab to market journey [40]. Team competency and motivation have vital influences on the absorption of technology in an innovation alliance [41].…”

Technology transfer is one of the facets of academic entrepreneurship and acts as a vital element of the innovation system. It forms a sustainable link between research and business communities. A holistic model for successfully transferring technology in developing countries is an unmet need in the context of technology transfer from public-funded academic research institutions to small and medium enterprises. In this work, we developed a conceptual model and undertook an empirical study for the determinants of successful transfer. A questionnaire was prepared and administered to key stakeholders involved in technology transfer. Overall, 321 respondents participated in the survey with congener demography. The conceptualized input factors, viz. micro-level, meso-level, and macro-level factors, are significantly interrelated. The contribution of input factors towards the successful transfer of technology was extensively analyzed and tested using covariance-based structural equation modeling. The results show that the model is a good fit. The study revealed that communication, innovativeness, knowledge, quality of the product, and motivation were the five most important factors for successfully transferring technology.

“…Finally, university technology transfer may compound this potential agency conflict around userfocused human capital investment applications. Faculty work within a university ecosystem that must support entrepreneurial activities in order for research output to emerge into the marketplace (Thomas et al, 2020). Specifically, research outputs are owned, at least in part, by the originating university and must be developed with the support of the university technology transfer office.…”

This paper outlines the development of a prototype application to estimate the human capital investment of education-career selections. We explain the need to deliver the right information, to the right person, at the right time using a customizable, individualized, just-in-time format. We illustrate how a collaboration between academia and FinTech might leverage the power of distributed expertise to support human capital investment planning via robo-advising. With 112 research-based default parameters, the application can provide detailed financial estimates in seconds. The prototype includes an interface to customize 12 key parameters allowing for extensive exploration of career and education pathways. We illustrate technical elements, the complexity of comprehensive personal financial projections, psychological obstacles, the potential for agency conflict, and balancing academic rigor with user experience. We also offer some insight into challenges and opportunities of this pre-seed venture.
