The commercialization of academic knowledge is increasingly seen as
a potential economic development model, particularly for improving
the capabilities and economic performance of regions. This
insightful volume investigates the emerging factors in knowledge
commercialization from an international perspective and highlights
research agendas and challenges to be met across academia, industry
and government.The expert contributors focus specifically on the
new role of universities in regional economic development through
knowledge commercialization, as well as university-industry
interaction and the factors that influence knowledge and technology
transfer. They explore knowledge commercialization in the US,
'knowledge valorization' in Europe, and technology transfer
dynamics in China. A forum for discussion of whether, why, and how
commercialization and valorization of knowledge can lead to higher
levels of innovation and economic development from an international
perspective is also provided. This thought-provoking book will
prove a stimulating read for academics, students and researchers
with an interest in regional economics, regional studies and
knowledge management. Contributors: J. Aberman, Z.J. Acs, T.
