“…Since there are marked differences in political and research ideologies in African nations, it is important that African nations begin to look at technology transfer methods that will suit the individual countries, based on these differences. A similar situation is seen in the studies by Novickis et al (2017), as well as Kalnins and Jarohnovich (2015), where country-specific solutions were developed as suggestive models for TT process flow.…”

“…In addition, there seems to be a problem with African higher education systems, both in terms of university study schemes as well as institutional abilities. Individual academics are also affected, as morale to research and create positive output is generally low (Novickis et al 2017). The availability of very little or no research and development funds (in some cases) also seems to worsen the situation (Oyedoyin et al 2013), resulting in extreme difficulty to initiate and maintain scientific research (Mohamedbhai 2008).…”

“…As part of the vision in many research and development (R&D) centers across Africa, research findings are now been given industrial backing, so that patenting and licensing can be achieved, thereafter leading to nationally relevant products and technology. Technology transfer generally requires a cultural shift in academia, beyond the usual research and teaching (Novickis et al 2017), thereby requiring the participation of researchers, policy makers and industry agents. Some scholars argue that university research commercialization is a second academic revolution for universities, from which the term entrepreneurial university has been coined (Vick and Robertson 2018).…”

All of Africa’s emerging economies are faced with developmental challenges, which can be partly ameliorated using effective University–Industry technology transfer. While technology transfer remains at the infant stage, sparsely documented, and with no complex ongoing processes in many African societies, Universities in Africa are making efforts in University–Industry collaborations aimed at bringing significant improvements to the continent in a bid to drive national innovation and regional economic development. In this paper, we attempt to evaluate the progress made so far by Nigerian Universities in technological innovation transfer, in order to suggest ways for possible future progress. To do this, crucial technology transfer resource factors (inputs), namely, the number of linkage projects funded by the “African Research Council” (ARC), consortium membership of the University’s technology transfer office, and the number of doctoral staff at the University’s technology transfer office, were checked against a set of performance measures (number of executed licenses, amount of licensing royalty income, number of spin-offs created, and the number of spin-offs created with university equity), using data envelopment analysis and multiple regression, respectively. Results suggest that Universities that possess better resource factors reported higher outputs on most of the performance indicators applied. In addition, it was observed that Universities with greater ability to effectively transfer knowledge had higher technology commercialization performance and financial sustainability. The implication of these results is that Universities in Africa need to develop in line with the technology transfer resource (input) factors suggested within this study, as this is the way to go for better performance.

“…In Latvia, there have been many complaints about research results not reaching the market. As a result, of this, the InnoSPICE model (Novickis et al 2017) was developed, which is a step beyond the traditional method ( Figure 2). According to Novickis et al (2017), the model provides an all-new approach to innovation by creating room for funding assessment.…”

Another pair of Latvian researchers, Kalnins and Jarohnovich (2015), also proposed the so-called "system thinking model" from TT, mainly because industries do not think universities can offer them any research outputs.…”

Models, Processes, and Roles of Universities in Technology Transfer Management: A Systematic Review

Universities play pivotal roles when research findings are to be adopted commercially. Although these roles vary from one country to another, effective patenting and licensing procedures, as well as eventual commercialisation of scholarly inventions, reflect hard work on the part of the University mediating between the researcher and the industry through technology transfer offices (TTOs) in order to ensure that knowledge-developers take motivational and monetary credit for their findings. This paper details some existing models, processes, and roles taken up in some countries where sharing of intellectual property exists, and links it up with aspects of university–industry technology transfer, such as policies surrounding patenting, government investment and marketing, and the process of academic entrepreneurship, among others. 22 articles were found via a systematic review of literature and analysed with respect to four identified areas of focus: internal strategy, investment and market, academic entrepreneurship and policy. Based on models, processes, and roles in reviewed studies, our results indicate that new models for technology transfer mainly stem from the fact that there is no universally accepted model in the literature. Furthermore, management of technology transfer is mostly the responsibility of TTOs in most countries. While university TTOs act as intermediaries to protect the interest of the author/inventor, issues such as poor relationships between universities and industry, as well as funding, remain major challenges in many emerging economies. In contrast, researchers in western economies are mainly challenged by financial motivation and recognition within the academic domains.
