      abstract = {The commercialization of academic knowledge is  increasingly seen as a potential economic development  model, particularly for improving the capabilities and  economic performance of regions. This insightful volume  investigates the emerging factors in knowledge  commercialization from an international perspective and  highlights research agendas and challenges to be met across  academia, industry and government.  The expert contributors  focus specifically on the new role of universities in  regional economic development through knowledge  commercialization, as well as university-industry  interaction and the factors that influence knowledge and  technology transfer. They explore ‘knowledge  commercialization’ in the US, ‘knowledge valorization’ in  Europe, and technology transfer dynamics in China. A forum  for discussion of whether, why, and how commercialization  and valorization of knowledge can lead to higher levels of  innovation and economic development from an international  perspective is also provided.  This thought-provoking book  will prove a stimulating read for academics, students and  researchers with an interest in regional economics,  regional studies and knowledge management.},
