Abstract: University to industry knowledge transfer within university-industry alliance has become an essential element of the research endeavours both in academic institutions and industrial sectors. It contributes significant resources, not only financial resources but also intellectual resources, to the companies related. By managing it, they expected to invest on the development of university research and business research capabilities on current research strength, and to link the research strength to solve the problem within the industry which leads to the improvement of performance, not only of the companies, but also the academic institutions' performance. This paper discusses and develops some propositions of university to industry knowledge transfer within university and industry alliance that explain antecedents (knowledge attributes, organisational attributes, network attributes) and consequence of university to industry knowledge transfer and the role of uncertainties that might affect the relationship between university to industry knowledge transfer and the alliance performance. Institutional perspective is used to develop some proposition to explain the relationships between variables in the proposed framework of university to industry knowledge transfer.
