ABSTRACT

Technology Transfer (TT) is an essential process that governs complex operations related to the absorption and dissemination of diverse technologies, in their different natures and forms. Its complexity is linked to technical and political operations, and determinant elements. This study aimed to present results of a bibliometric analysis on Technology Transfer and to explore the fundamental elements and specific aspects that make up this process. A significant portfolio of papers was considered for bibliometric analysis. Subsequently, most relevant papers were selected for qualitative analysis, based on relevance of themes presented and number of citations by year. Key approaches to TT have been identified, and its elements (agents, technology, mechanisms, polices, barriers, supporters, models and effects and impacts). They are inherent to characteristics of the transfer agents and supporters, characteristics of the transfer object, characteristics of the transfer channels, characteristics/conditions of the demand environment for TT management.

摘要

技术转让 (TT) 是管理与吸收和传播不同性质和形式的各种技术相关的复杂操作的基本过程。它的复杂性与技术和政治运作以及决定性因素有关。本研究旨在展示技术转让的文献计量分析结果，并探索构成这一过程的基本要素和具体方面。大量论文被考虑用于文献计量分析。随后，根据主题的相关性和每年的引用次数，选择最相关的论文进行定性分析。已经确定了 TT 的关键方法及其要素（代理、技术、机制、政策、障碍、支持者、模型、效果和影响）。
