Performance Efficiency Measurement Model Development of a Technology Transfer Office (TTO) to Accelerate Technology Commercialization in Universities

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a model for measuring the efficiency of the TTO incubation process performance to accelerate the commercialization of research results in universities. The method of analyzing the efficiency used in this research is the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method based on Banker, Charnes, and Cooper (BCC), which is output-oriented. The software used in analyzing the efficiency of TTO performance is MaxDEA 8. The output of this research is a mathematical model tool for measuring the efficiency of TTO performance by DEA, which considered 17 parameters and proposed recommendations for TTO performance strategies. The limitation of this research is the object of research in one university that has succeeded in the commercialization of research. This research implies that the performance efficiency measurement model is an alternative predictive way to increase the acceleration of commercialization. The practical implications of this research are that it can evaluate performance or inefficient strategies in the incubation process of higher education research results to the Technology Transfer Office (TTO). This research also provides recommendations on strengthening the TTO function that can be used as a reference for improving performance at universities. This research measures the level of performance evaluation of TTO in the incubation process, which refers to the Death Valley framework. This incubation process is the main process accelerating the commercialization of research results in universities.

Business conceptual design of photovoltaic installation for billboard lighting

“…In the development and commercialization of new technology, there will be challenges. These challenges include Product, Process, Innovation, and Business Challenges (Sutopo et al, 2022). The challenges PV faces as a renewable energy source, based on the stages of new product development and commercialization, are the high cost of the product and the limited comprehensiveness of market education related to PV.…”

“…Research is conducted to intervene in both aspects to develop effective methods, system designs, and approaches, such as technology transfer office (TTO) methods. TTO is used to shorten the time a product enters the market and minimize costs required through early supply chain engineering (Sutopo et al, 2022). In designing this engineering, challenges in product development and innovation, technological innovation challenges, process challenges, and business challenges for the future must be considered.…”

“…According to Sutopo et al's research (Sutopo et al, 2022), referencing lithium battery research, standardization can expedite product implementation through supply chain engineering. Standardization is the foundation for future innovations and ensures that product standards are established and adhered to correctly, involving numerous stakeholders (Sutopo et al, 2022). In previous research (Sutopo et al, 2022), standards resulting from standardization were obtained through R&D activities focused on achieving the required standards.…”
