Kristel Miller, Rodney McAdam, Sandra Moffett, Allen Alexander, Pushyarag Puthusserry · 2016 · R and D Management

Summary. Universities transfer knowledge to regional innovation ecosystems through interactions with multiple stakeholders. This study identifies five key factors—human elements, organizational structures, knowledge types, power dynamics, and network characteristics—that determine how effectively stakeholders engage in knowledge transfer and apply it. The findings show that policymakers and practitioners need targeted interventions to strengthen knowledge exchange within regional innovation networks.
