Model to Measure University's Readiness for Establishing Spin-Offs: Comparison Study

Abstract

Spin-off is a company that exploits a university or research, intellectual property that is characterized by the maturity of a technology. University Spin-Offs (USO) is an enterprise of which the business activity is founded on a technological development or innovative concept developed at the university. The study aims to develop a framework to measure the readiness of the university spin-offs and analyzing to know the actual conditions and the ideal, and supposed to be establish the university spin-offs. Variables that used in this research are inventor, technology transfer office and the university. The results of this paper are a model used to measure university readiness for establishing spin-offs considered by the optimal time that is used to launch a spin-off company, components of university spin-offs establishment.

Model to Measure the Readiness of University Testing Laboratories to Fulfill ISO/IEC 17025 Requirements (A Case Study)

“…There have been many researchers studying about the readiness level of a system. Sutopo et al [68] developed a framework to measure university readiness for establishing spin-offs considering the optimal time that is used to launch a spin-off company. Lokuge et al [69] conceptualized a formative multidimensional construct to gauge organizational readiness for digital innovations.…”
