Abstract:
Exploitation of the knowledge generated by university research can bring social and economic benefits; thus, knowledge transfer between universities and industry is an important aspect of public policy. In many countries, including the United Kingdom (UK), universities have been developing the capacity to support the commercialisation of publicly funded research, typically by setting up centralised Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTOs). Previous studies have revealed that KTOs need a wide range of abilities to support the commercialisation of academic research, but our understanding of how these a

A private, nonprofit university in Mexico invested millions of U.S. dollars in a strategic initiative to build and operate technology-knowledge transfer parks (TKTP) with the mission of supporting the development of Mexican society's entrepreneurial capabilities. The university, however, lacked an assessment policy for gauging the effectiveness of the TKTP initiative. The purpose of this study was to explore stakeholder values about TKTP effectiveness in order to inform future assessment of TKTPs.

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the limitations to representing knowledge. It is concerned with the process of the formation and transfer of knowledge in design. It focuses on the component termed 'knowledge engineering'. This is an essential part of the process of designing knowledge-based systems. In this work, knowledge engineering is defined as: the process of selecting relevant information for a system and considering how that information is made available to the system as well as to the user. Traditional knowledge engineering supposes that all knowledge can be represented in a proposition

However, tourism scholarly research and industry practice have both been slow to import and apply knowledge management (KM) concepts. This research explored the transfer of knowledge between tourism organisations in Western Australia (WA). A conceptual framework was developed based on social capital theory and KM constructs. The developed research framework comprised four dimen
