The impact of government support and market uncertainty onuniversity-industry knowledge transfer efficiency

Abstract

Abstract: The multilevel approach is used to address the question of how governmental support and market uncertainty influence the university-industry knowledge transfer efficiency during the transition period. A multilevel model of university-industry knowledge transfer efficiency that accounts for transition context is developed. Results reveal that university-level and city-level factors predict the efficiency of university-industry knowledge transfer. It is found that both city-level governmental support and market uncertainty have a positive moderating effect on the relationship of efficiency for university-level knowledge transfer.

Key words: transition period, knowledge transfer efficiency, government support, market uncertainty, hierarchical linear model
