“…22,29 The external partnerships, which are defined as technology transfer or information sharing between transferors and transferees, bring new business sources and information and provide to improve business skills and management strategies of start-ups. 32,33 The social norms and performance-based culture in the community is also connected with the opportunities of external partnerships for start-up companies. In other words, these cultural and social norms can lead to effective collaborations between public and private institutions or between multiple entities.…”

This study explored the effects of the innovation system of start-ups and community support and resources on business performance of start-up companies using a survey of 213 start-ups across the different industry sectors in South Korea. In this article, we adopt the partial least square of structural equation model for analyzing the structural relationships of venture creation activities. First, the findings show that both the local community support and external partnership have significant impacts on the social norms and performance-based culture, but the path coefficient of local community support is somewhat greater than external partnership. Second, the test results also indicate that discovery and exploitation, which can be recognized as the major factors of innovation system in the start-up companies, are highly associated with their dynamic capabilities. Moreover, the dynamic capabilities can be also affected by the social norms and performance-based culture due to the paradigm of open innovation. Third, with regard to the total effect, the combination of discovery and local community support plays a central role for improving business performance of start-ups amid a rapidly changing market and economic environment.

We investigated the probabilities of acquisition of requisite human capital by new entrants in the institutional network. Graph theories applied in complex social networks using multi-attribute decision models were employed for our study. We coupled the dynamical and complexities of social network analysis with BASS-SIR epidemiological model to ascertain sustainability in the light of internal and external forces in the human capital acquisition. The results show that a new entrant’s ability to acquire human capital within the network increases rapidly and reaches a steady state by the third month. The fractional analysis indicated that a combined effect of internal and external injection of knowledge into the network sees entrants acquiring the required knowledge and work world skills in a relatively shorter time. Finally, the discrete and continuous analyses revealed that relatively even and continuous patterns of information flow reduce the time of reaching a steady state in the industry. We recommend a strong policy on continuous and even rates of training, a high rate of information flow such as internal and external training with the emphasis on internal training systems to gain competitive advantage.

“…Part of the literature has considered the technology transfer at transnational level, both as a mechanism in which country acquires, develops and uses technology knowledge 14 as well as the process of transferring the knowledge and concepts from one country to another. 15 This article maintains such an approach at country level, aiming to describe quantitatively the environment in which technology transfer evolves by means of the network science paradigm.…”

“…In general terms, SNA can be considered as an archetype that abstracts social life in terms of connection structures among entities (communities 19 ) and measures of centrality. 20 For this second level, some approaches were presented in technology transfer literature, such as in the study by Vonortas, 21 where SNA is used in order to evaluate R&D programs; in the study by D'Alise et al, 14 in case of clusters of pharmaceutical industries; and in the study by Verspagen and Duysters, 22 where a particular, complex network organization is used to model technological alliances.…”

This article offers a network perspective on the collaborative effects of technology transfer, providing a research methodology based on the network science paradigm. We argue that such an approach is able to map and describe the set of entities acting in the technology transfer environment and their mutual relationships. We outline how the connections' patterns shape the organization of the networks by showing the role of the members within the system. By means of a case study of a transnational initiative aiming to support the technology transfer within European countries, we analyse the application of the network science approach, giving evidence of its relative implications.
