Abstract

Technology Transfer (TT) literature has grown exponentially during the last twenty-five years. As in most emerging fields, the literature is quite disjointed. It is especially so in TT because of the cross-disciplinary nature of the field. Although a number of taxonomies have been proposed, most are by and for a specific discipline, e.g., economics or sociology. This paper offers a taxonomic schema which takes into account each of the streams of TT knowledge and classifies the developments efficiently and effectively.
