ResumoThis paper demonstrates that, despite the considerable challenges in transferring research knowledge, particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), there are innovative methods of technology transfer that can be highly effective in both large companies and the SME context. It is argued that organizations must continually innovate products and processes, and constantly develop their knowledge base, in response to contemporary technological and social change. Innovation through the TCS model of technology transfer is examined, drawing on case studies that describe outcomes from the government-sponsored scheme, and a technology transfer method based on TCS. This leads to an analysis of why the TCS model is an effective method of technology transfer.
