Transfer of software technologies Flashcards
1
Q
Motivation & Overview
A
- Huge number of SENG technologies available.
- How many successful tech transfers exist?
- Which are the reasons for the low rate of successful tech tranfers?
- What should be done to mitigate this situation?
2
Q
Existing Barriers
A
- Language (terminology)
- Incentive of problem solving:
- Solving the problem right (Knowledge driven)
- Solving the right problem (Market driven)
- Opportunities
- Packaging of technologies
- Contractual and IP restrictions
3
Q
Packaging of technologies
A
- How the technology needs to be implemented in dependence of context?
- Which conditions need to be fulfilled?
- Where is the technology applicable?
- Where and under which conditions it is not recommended?
- How much effort does it require to get started?
- How much training is requried?
- What is the ROI?
4
Q
Empirical Evidence
A
- Acceptance of technologies = f(degree of evidence provided)
- Existing BoK how to perform empirical research
- Existing tool box how to support this effort.
5
Q
Conclusion
A
- YES, cutting‐edge research is transferable
- “Cutting‐edge” is neither necessary nor sufficient for transfer into industry
- Technology packages mandatory
- Creating evidence make success more likely
- Awareness and trust are needed
