WHAT

What is bureaucracy From Bureaucratic Tech Transfer to Entrepreneurial Tech Commercialization by Norris F. Krueger, Brian Cummings, Steven Nichols Norris F. Krueger Jr. Entrepreneurship Northwest; Max Planck Institute for Economics Brian Cummings University of Utah Steven P. University of Texas at Austin - College of EngineeringOctober 23, 2008 Abstract: 60 university spinouts in 3 years. 94% still alive. We present an overview of the new University of Utah program where spinouts have skyrocketed (the stats above). Etzkowitz (2008) shows that despite the press and PR, the median TTO loses money - probably more than is usually known. We offer here a set of key principles for successful technology commercialization, illustrated by a very recent exemplar, that of the University of Utah.
