Abstract:
|
"Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) can benefit from patent licensing revenues from the transfer f patented technologies into the commercial marketplace because these added revenues can help research institutions become more sustainable financially. However, many ERIs struggle to succeed in technology transfer. This study describes the development of a university technoloy transfer supply chain network
sustainability tool that private and pulic ERls can use to become more
self-reliant financially. Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs)
are ERls and are used as a case study. HBCUs lag behind their peer
non-HBCUs because historically they have been under-served and were
originally established largely as teaching and blue-collar trade schools.
Some doctoral HBC Us desire to strengthen their research activities. Systems
dynamics is the process of combining the theory, method, and philosophy
necessary to analyze the behavior of a system in order to provide a common
foundation that can be applied whenever it is desired to understand and
influence how things change over time. Applying the systems dynamics
approach, a budget resource planning tool was developed using a linear
programming optimization technique. This study illustrates that classic
industrial uses of linear programming optimization techniques can uniquely
be used to optimize budget resource planning for sustainable HBCU supply
chain networks and other emerging research institutions. This study
contributes to the improved execution of technology transfer projects through
better budget resource planning."
