Biological model for technology transfer in university-industry-government partnerships
by Elizabeth Starbuck
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 8, No. 6/7/8, 1993

Abstract: This paper proposes a technology transfer model using an analogy with a biological process, appropriate to one of the US National Science Foundation's Engineering Research Centers (Center for Interfacial Engineering, University of Minnesota). This biological model incorporates earlier ideas on the diffusion of technology, involving movement of information across organizational boundaries, transmitters and receptors, and gatekeepers.
