Is there any theoretical model which support to analyse technology transfer processes (both producer and receiver).
Hi Asad!
I don't know exactly what you are searching for, but I am thinking of two different frameworks I have used - not for studying exactly technology transfer - more technology "integration" - the process which utimately makes technology invisible, since we become so used with it.
1) Carl R. May's Normalization Process Theory : begin here: http://www.normalizationprocess.org/ It is about the transfer and acceptance andgradual normalisation of new technology - but also how to see when something is not promising, and will not succeed. All new technology is not functional, and not in all contexts.
2) Luciano Floridi's Informational Structural Realism with adjacent theories, forming "Philosophy of Information". It is a new philosophical theory, "of our time, for our time" and one of the most central issues is the human selfunderstanding in an era when ICTs who do information processing, along with humans. A good place to start is reading his more popularly written book "The Fourth Revolution - how the infosphere is reshaping human reality". Or search for his papers, being with a paper 2007: A look into the future impact of ICTs on our lives". Concept you could look for when studying integration of technology is "enveloping", "re-ontologisation", transdiegetisation".
Prof. Anders Norberg, First of thank you for your comments. Prof. I am looking for process model/ theory for transfer of technology from producer to receiving organization.
Hi Asad!
I think mayby the theory of social capital or social network can be helpful. Socical network provides a channel for knowledge flow.
Hi Asad,
all our knowledge on this field stems from an understanding of well known univeristies. This constitues a huge problem, because reality is not realy represented by Harvard and teh such.
It may be worth looking at a resent special issue by the Journal of Technology Transfer that is (oddly enough) on agro innovation. In the special issue there is a paper by Drivas et al. that looks at TTOs from underdeveloped areas and tries to bridge the theoretical lacuna with embirical evidence.
Dear Asad,
TT process model You can find in this article: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40852-017-0053-4
