“…Purely functionally, the process (an 'innovation pipeline') involves an ambidextrous approach linking research, management, innovation and entrepreneurship (Audretsch and Guerrero 2023) when transferring innovation from the proposed innovation source, (metaphorically the lab bench or any kind of research performed at a university) to an external recipient. The progress towards commercialization must first be judged by the university hierarchy to be worthy of an initial investment.…”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">To investigate successful technology transfer, the potential path of innovations from the university research bench to the knowledge recipient is modelled. Universities exist in highly regulated environments and the initial path of decision-making is a hierarchical model and where decisions flow upward from manager to manager until a small number of candidate innovations for commercialization remain. These are then routed for further processing to the link connecting to the knowledge recipient, the Technology Transfer Office (TTO). In the TTO, a hierarchical decision-making model can be acceptable in terms of outcomes, but ambidextrous co-operative team structures are much superior in cases where staff have good insight and decision-making abilities. This report represents the first Structured Equation Model investigation of the management architecture of a TTO.</span></p>
