Transcript of SCOPE OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER.ppt
Technology TransferTechnology transfer is the process of sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples of manufacturing and facilities among industries, universities, governments and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can then further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or services.

A technology developed by an organization for a particular purpose was further given to other entities in order to exploit its potential in some areas.
A transfer/transformation/transition process between the technology originator/possessor and the receiver
Technology Transfer DimensionsThe handing over of intellectual property (OEM
drawings, Operations Manuals, Industry Best practice ex EPRI, software etc) from one organisation to another – could be inter or intra organisations
The development of competence amongst people to be able to use technology they possess – on a spectrum of Awareness, to Knowledge, to Skill, to Competence, to Mastery – again either inter or intra-organisationally
Technology Transfer can only be said to be effective when the recipient (organisation or individual) is capable of routinely using and applying it as part of business – it has become part of the culture in the widest sense

Transferring levelInternational—from the DCs to NICs or
LDCs Regional—indigenous vs. foreign Industrial—the threat of outsiders Corporation—licensing programInternal—the issue of transferring price

Contractual AspectsWhen plant is built/modified and new
methodologies need to be shifted from OEM to user.Nature of the transfer and monitoring specified
in the contract is critical.Suppliers of equipment do minimum
technology transfer to protect themselves.User to fully specify and then ensure and
assure that transfer takes place DocumentationAssured competence of individuals who have
been trained7
User may need to provide considerable assistance to the supplier to enable effective transfer to take placeAligning the supplier with the individual’s normal
learning environment.Fulfillment of the contract dependent on a 2-way
processPassing of informationReceiving and assimilation to the point of
operational competenceImportant to how learning takes place, its application
in the workplace and the measurement of competence.
Continuing Professional DevelopmentContinuing professional development concerned with
self-learning, exposure, coaching and mentoring e.g.Learning to use new machineryOperating to changed proceduresUsing new tools, techniques and systemsDevelopment and installation of improved and best
practice.The methodology of transfer becomes ever wider –
ranging from institutionalised training through to networking, best practice work groups and simply reading of discipline, management and business related material.

Technology Transfer ScopeAre we talking the whole gamut from
manufacturing and commissioning contracts and the documentation associated with them, through to the way individual learning is handled?
Are we taking into account knowledge warehousing and the ways this is populated, accessed and protected as intellectual property?
Do we include organisation culture (including procedures and assurance surrounding the identification, capturing, securing and dissemination of technical knowledge)?

ObjectivesEstablish world wide participation reflected by
the Work Group Members
Identify those aspects that influence the achievement of technology transfer
Establish influence of global location (Americas vs Africa vs Asia vs Europe), legislation, culture
Establish best practices for technology transfer with regard to maximising benefit vs effort / cost, co-operation with OEM’s / NGO’s
11
Establish methods to increase the flow of innovations and invention disclosures
Establish models to solidify relationships with
researchers and industry partners
Identify evaluation methods and models
Establish methods for reviewing and reporting on the effectiveness of technology transfer processes
Establish methods for determining benefits realisation
