  • Summary

    Several policies and practices are involved in the successful transfer of knowledge from public research organizations to private sector firms for commercialization. To evaluate the effectiveness of these policies, metrics are used for benchmarking changes in performance over time. Most of the existing metrics focus on IP-mediated knowledge transfer, such as the number of patents produced by universities and the amount of license income earned. Thus, non-IP-mediated knowledge transfer gets viewed as unimportant and of low value. This chapter identifies data for measuring non-IP-mediated methods and recommends collecting metrics for other formal (collaboration, contracts, consultancy, etc.) and informal (from surveys of academics and firms) channels of knowledge transfer.
