Declining or Waning
- Traditional Technology Transfer Models:
There is a noticeable decrease in the publication of papers focusing solely on traditional, linear models of technology transfer, as research increasingly embraces more complex, interactive models of innovation. - Single-Dimensional Economic Impact Studies:
Research that solely quantifies the economic impact of technology transfer without considering broader societal or environmental implications is becoming less frequent, as interdisciplinary approaches gain traction. - Local vs. Global Technology Transfer:
Studies emphasizing local technology transfer mechanisms without considering global perspectives or cross-border collaborations are seeing a decline, reflecting the increasing importance of global innovation networks. - Focus on Patenting and Intellectual Property Alone:
While still relevant, research exclusively centered on patenting strategies and intellectual property rights is waning in favor of broader discussions on collaborative innovation and knowledge sharing. - Static Case Studies:
The prevalence of static case studies that do not account for the evolving nature of technology transfer processes is decreasing, as there is a growing demand for dynamic, longitudinal analyses.
