Abstract Overview: Businesses can benefit from university–industry collaborations, yet they rarely take full advantage of them. Scientists who serve as principal investigators (PIs) act as the nucleus of university–industry collaborations and partner with industry to cocreate value. We conducted a case study of PIs at publicly funded research universities, institutes, and organizations in Ireland to explore how having commercial experience influences how PIs approach technology transfer and how they develop new business models, products, and services. We learned that PIs’ prior commercial experience influences how they approach their research, project work, and project selection and affects how they commercialize knowledge and outputs from their scientific research––that is, patents, licences, agreements, etc.––throughout the project’s life cycle. In university–industry collaborations, PIs’ commercial experience can impact industry partners’ attempts to realize technology transfer and market impacts.

首席研究员的商业经验如何影响技术转让和市场影响

摘要概述：企业可以从大学与行业的合作中受益，但他们很少充分利用它们。担任首席研究员 (PI) 的科学家是大学与产业合作的核心，并与产业合作共同创造价值。我们对爱尔兰公共资助的研究型大学、研究所和组织的 PI 进行了案例研究，以探讨拥有商业经验如何影响 PI 如何进行技术转让以及他们如何开发新的商业模式、产品和服务。我们了解到，PI 先前的商业经验会影响他们进行研究、项目工作和项目选择的方式，并影响他们如何将科学研究的知识和成果（即专利、许可、协议等）商业化。项目的生命周期。
