University-Industry Technology Transfer programme´s success analysis: Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process-based model

University-Industry Technology Transfer (UITT) is the transfer of innovations or research results from a university to the industrial and commercial marketplace. UITT can be a source of financial gain for both universities and industries. To promote and enhance the success of a UITT programme, the management team needs to understand the necessary resources and managing operations required for successful implementation, and also needs to prioritize the success drivers for consolidating their efforts on the most important success drivers. Therefore, this paper aims to determine success drivers with respect to an organization´s resources and managing operations in enhancing the success of UITT programme implementation, and to propose an Analytic Hierarchy Process based model to prioritize these success drivers of UITT programme. The paper is grounded in the Resource-Based View of the firm and Operations Management for identifying the success drivers of UITT programme.
