“…Generally universities and research institutions facilitate the creation and commercialisation of research products or commercialisation of intellectual property (IP) (Siegal & Wright, 2007). The topic for research commercialisation becomes a critical issue, and it is especially relevant for the university-based technology (Rothaermel et al, 2007).…”

“…Some institution opted for internal approaches, quasi-internal approaches and externalisation approaches (Markman et al, 2008). According to Siegal and Wright (2007), these strategies may be fostered by identifying products with commercial potential, continuing strategic and financial support for portfolio companies to maximise their chances of success. Furthermore, collaboration between regional universities, research centres and other organisations should be encouraged to emphasis for commercialisation (Siegal & Wright, 2007).…”

“…In the agricultural based research for example, although there are much potential for universities to be actively involved in commercialisation activities, it showed that farmers are not easily convinced to consider using technology developed by universities (Yaakub et al, 2011). For small firms, it was difficult to pursue commercialisation because they are not aware of IPRs system and the high cost involved in using the system (Siegal and Wright, 2007). There was also a problem to link between the academic and industry due to the tacit nature of knowledge (Etzowitz, 1998).…”

Research products commercialisation is one of the key agenda of the government to boost the economic growth in Malaysia. This has resulted universities and research institutes to consider commercialising research products as one of their critical activities for income generation. Although much emphasises and encouragement have been put forward to accelerate research products commercialisation related activities, however, commercialisation of research products especially among academics in Malaysia is less progressing and encouraging. It is said that commercialising of research products is a complex and risky process, and there are many possible ways to be adopted, especially relevant for academic researchers to guarantee its success. Thus, this paper aims to examine a generic framework for a successful research products commercialisation among academic researchers in Malaysia. For the purpose of the study, interviews were conducted with four academic researchers who have successfully commercialised their research products. Drawn from their experiences and insights, the study found that there are eight elements that contribute for a sustainable research products commercialisation. These elements are knowledge, skills and personal traits of the researcher, idea creation of the product, development, packaging and promotion of the product, paths of commercialisation, building competitive advantage within the market, selecting business partner, nurturing healthy relationship with business partner and facilities and supports. This study found that these elements are interrelated and interdependent with each other to achieve a sustainable research product commercialisation. These elements are useful for researchers and their business partners to develop an effective strategy for a succesful research products commercialisation.

“…On the demand side, it is not surprising to note that many firms and governments have adopted open-source software, since this enables them to reduce costs. However, economists have found it difficult to understand the supply side of open-source innovation, in particular, labour supply (Siegel and Wright 2007). Other suggested possibilities of government adoption of open source in education policy have also been discussed in (Showole, Suhaimi et al 2008) Open-source software offers the most astounding range of reusable assets for any software project.…”

Open source has emerged as a widely accepted software development phenomenon which has tremendously brought about a significant paradigm shift from traditional software development methodologies such as top down design and stepwise refinement to an unconventional software development approach by means of collaborative software development method among a wide geographically dispersed interested developers and committed project participants while paying less attention to immediate "physical gains". The open source approach focuses on highly diverse views of developer motivations; ranging from ego gratification, ideological satisfaction and gift culture for individual developers and open source motivations may be viewed from spreading the software development risks and associated maintenance costs at corporate organisational level. In this article, a five layered open onion model of open source was broadly examined. Analysis and evaluation were narrowed down to only the initiation layer of the open onion model. Results show that open source success largely depends on the quality associated with successful initiation of the project. Our findings also reveal that the most popular open source license is GPL and that license type has significant impact on project rank. The domain audience has negative impact on project rank and user interface has significantly negative impact on project's domain audience. Open source project topics covered have a significant impact on the domain audience and a negative effect on the user interface. This research has also presented a conceptual framework of open source success tree.
