Thirteenth Biennial Conference on Entrepreneurship/ Edited by Sasi Misra, Sunil Shukla, Ganapathi Batthini Fri, 22 Feb 2019 00:00:00 GMT http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/7938 2019-02-22T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/7937 Research Essay on University Technology Transfer and its Linkages with Entrepreneurship Dubey, Vanshika This essay analyses the impact and importance of University Technology Transfer Offices with regards to entrepreneurship. It also addresses underlying gaps between university research and its commercialization leading to new firm creation. 15 research papers having more than 100 citations were chosen for the study. A careful study reveals that technological transfer offices located in universities would play a key role in filing and licensing of patents for the interested candidates. Moreover the practices that take place in universities such as incubation programs, mentoring and project works help in developing entrepreneurial skills in students which would be vital for technology commercialization. Based on the literature review done in the study it can be said that so far the number for commercialized technology is quite low. Most of them being qualitative studies call for more robust quantitative studies in order to validate the findings made by inductive researches in the past. The essay has implications in practice for academicians and emerging entrepreneurs as entrepreneurship and technology go hand in hand and changes faster than one could imagine. This essay also has importance for scholars as it calls for a suitable framework and appropriate research design to conduct meticulous research in the future and substantiate what past researches have explored.

The present higher education system has failed to meet the aspiration of the graduating students and also of the country. The so called educated manpower, in general, has proved to become the liabilities of the country in stead of being assets. A radical change in thinking and a quantum shift in attitude and action in education strategy are needed to reinvent the education ecosystem. In today’s world it is not the content of knowledge that is important, but the way one transforms the knowledge into commercial activities and derives economic benefits out of it, are the utmost requirement. Also no country can ever be great and prospering unless the young are ambitious, risk taking and enterprising. Indian talent and entrepreneurial skill are well respected around the world. However the present education system has failed to attract the best talent as well as to pull the young educated generation to motivate in own start ups. Thus it is need of the time to foster Entrepreneurial Eco systems in Higher Educational Institutions in India so that the young graduates becomes the job provider, not the job seeker and generate employment and bring prosperity and laurels for the country.
