Abstract

Bilgiyi yaratan en önemli aktörlerden biri olarak kabul edilen üniversiteler, 1980'li yıllardan itibaren uluslararası literatürde, teknoloji aracıları olarak da görülmeye başlanmıştır. Üniversitelerin bu aracı rolü üstlenirken kurguladıkları uygulayıcı yapılar arasında en aktif rolü üstlenen birimlerden biri ise Teknoloji Transfer Ofisleri (TTO) olmuştur. Bu çalışmada bilginin yaratılmasından nihai kullanıcılarına ulaştığı süreç boyunca teknoloji transfer ofislerinin bilgi aracılığı rolünün kavramsal yapısı değerlendirilmiş ve bilgi aracılığının teorik çerçevesi ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu aktarım süreci aynı zamanda SDÜ TTO özelinde de incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda teknoloji transfer ofislerinin bilginin yaratılmasından piyasaya aktarımına kadar bir bilgi aracısı olarak üniversite-sanayi iş birliğinin ve bilginin kaynaktan kullanıcılara ulaşmasının üzenindeki etkileri değerlendirilmiştir.

BRIDGES OF UNIVERSITIES TO INDUSTRY: TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF KNOWLEDGE BROKERAGE

Abstract

Universities, which are accepted as one of the most important actors that create knowledge, have started to be seen as technology intermediaries in the international literature since the 1980s. Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) have been one of the units that have assumed the most active role among the implementing structures that universities have set up while undertaking this intermediary role. In this study, the conceptual structure of the information mediation role of technology transfer offices throughout the process from the creation of knowledge to its end users has been evaluated and the theoretical framework of information mediation has been tried to be revealed. This transfer process has also been examined in the SDU TTO. In this context, the effects of technology transfer offices on university-industry cooperation as an information intermediary from the creation of knowledge to its transfer to the market and on the access of information from the source to the users were evaluated.
