      abstract = {Universities have become essential players in the  generation of knowledge and innovation. Through the  commercialization of technology, they have developed the  ability to influence regional economic growth. By examining  different commercialization models this book analyses  technology transfer at universities as part of a national  and regional system. It provides insight as to why certain  models work better than others, and reaffirms that  technology transfer programs must be linked to their  regional and commercial environments.     Using a global  perspective on technology commercialization, this book  divides the discussion between developed and developing  counties according to the level of university  commercialization capability. Critical cases as well as  country reports examine the policies and culture of  university involvement in economic development,  relationships between university and industry, and the  commercialization of technology first developed at  universities. In addition, each chapter provides examples  from specific universities in each country from a regional,  national, and international comparative perspective.   This  book includes articles by leading practitioners as well as  researchers and will be highly relevant to all those with  an interest in innovation studies, organizational studies,  regional economics, higher education, public policy and  business entrepreneurship.},
