Framework for Cultivating the Technology Transfer based on the Analysis of Technology Transfer Network

Abstract

Recently the technology transfer is defined as a shared two-way process of knowledge technology, know-how, best practice and so on from the various technology providers to the various techniques recipient. In order to cultivate the technology transfer, it is necessary to diagnose the technology transfer network. However, most researchers have tried to verify the efficiency and effectiveness of technology transfer network based on the case studies. Therefore, in this research, we derive the new framework for diagnosing the technology transfer network based on social network analysis. By analyzing and visualizing the technology transfer network, the framework provide chance to grasp the opportunity that can lead to technology innovation. Further, the framework support technology recipient to understand the connectable point of an important technical mediation and core technology brokerage within the technology transfer network.
