Influence of information search cost on technology transfer based on multi-agent system

To establish cooperation between universities and enterprises is an important way to realize technology transfer. In reality there are many universities and enterprises, and the process of technology transfer is very complex. Thus it is difficult to resolve the multi-participant game problem through traditional economics method. Based on multi-agent system (MAS) thought and method, evolvement system, which consists of many self-determination and interaction agents, is set up to simulate the process of technology transfer from universities to enterprises. In the end of the paper, through a series of computational experimentations, conclusion is found that more choice chance and less information search cost are necessary conditions of technology transfer.
