Measuring Knowledge Transfer in Innovation Projects: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

Collaboration of organizations with universities and research institutes is a way of decreasing not only the time but also the cost of R&D activities in innovation projects. This paper is a study on knowledge transfer measurement models in order to analyze their metrics and identify the use of techniques for measuring the flow of knowledge between companies, public research institutes, and universities in national innovation surveys. The comparative analysis of these models is part of a study to evaluate the ways to measure the impact of universities on society through innovation projects.
