Conclusion -- Appendix 1: Organizational Charts Indicating Technology-Transfer Organizations -- Appendix 2: Methodology -- Notes -- References -- Index This study analyzes two world-renowned universities - Yale and Cambridge - their investment in technology commercialization, and the outcome of this contribution in their local economies. This book has three main arguments: the way in which a university goes about improving its technology-transfer capability matters; by choosing a particular path of change, the university also changes its role and its ability to contribute to the region; and not all changes will positively affect the local economy.Innovation and technology in the world economy.Universities and collegesEconomic aspectsCase studiesTechnology transferCase studiesBiotechnologyTechnology transferCase studiesAcademic-industrial collaborationEconomic aspectsCase studiesUniversities and collegesEconomic aspectsTechnology transferBiotechnologyTechnology transferAcademic-industrial collaborationEconomic aspects338.4/3378Breznitz Shiri M.1614809MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812415503321The fountain of knowledge3944766UNINA
