| Summary: | 碩士 === 中華大學 === 科技管理學系碩士班 === 100 === In the era of knowledge economy, universities are the sources of knowledge innovation having a wealth of research resources. In addition to nurturing talents, how to transfer research achievements of university to the industry is an important issue. The “Fundamental Science and Technology Act” has been enacted in 1999 by our government to decentralize intellectual property rights of academic and research institutions to all units and individuals for the purpose of encouraging research and innovation. There are already more than 113 colleges/universities in Taiwan setting up dedicated centers for technology transfer.
The technology transfer center of college/university plays an intermediary role of technology licensing and transfer. After the “Fundamental Science and Technology Act” has been implemented for ten years, the establishment and performance of college/university technology transfer center thus received attention. However, there are differences between the government policies and many of the existing college/university systems in Taiwan resulting in various assessment criteria. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to construct an appropriate set of performance evaluation indicators for technology transfer centers, hoping that it is able to provide a reference to policy making of the government and performance evaluation of academic institutions.
This research includes the process of literature review, two stages and three questionnaires. To begin with, the Delphi Method was used in Stage One, and two questionnaire surveys were conducted in order to confirm the operational performance indicator projects of technology transfer center. In Stage Two, analytic network process was applied to the questionnaire survey. The goal of this stage is to construct technology transfer center’s hierarchical network structure of operations performance Indicators, confirm the interdependence and feedback conditions of various assessment criteria and assess the relative weights of the indicators.
There are four principal aspects of constructing operating performance or technology transfer center in this research. According to the order of weights, the four aspects are services results of intellectual property rights, institutions and management, marketing and promotional activities as well as economic and derivative benefits. Fifteen evaluation indicators are summarized for each aspect. The top five indicators include technology transfer achievement, technology service achievement, management system and mechanism, incentive system and patented technology matching activity.
