Evaluating a Technology Transfer and Commercialization Support Program: A Korean Case Study
Soonwoo Daniel Chang (The State University of New York (SUNY Korea))
Abstract
The study analyzed the effectiveness of a technology transfer and commercialization support program to Korean technology transfer offices and firms. The study created a logic model to design a questionnaire to analyze how the support program, directly and indirectly, affected the technology transfer offices and the firms’ performances. The study found that technology transfer offices are focused not only on potential firms’ excavation activity to process the technology transfer but also on providing strategic support to provide practical assistance to the firms’ needs. Not only has the number of technology transfer cases increased during the two-year program duration, but other activities, such as technical guidance and various strategic consulting for commercialization of the transferred technology, have also appeared to have increased considerably. Support program has helped strengthen the firms’ internal capabilities, expand new market capabilities, and increase the firms’ indirect performances.
