The aim of this paper is to identify the barriers to the knowledge transfer and university research commercialization system in Poland on the basis of qualitative research of the 20 biggest Polish universities. The research revealed that there are three main groups of barriers referring to macro environment, university system and human factors. The results could help Polish government and universities to support effective processes of scientific research commercialization, build knowledge and competence in the Polish scientific and research centers. The article is the comparison analysis which can be taken into consideration by university managers in transforming economies 1 .

“…There are many barriers to overcome in technology transfer, mainly because research organizations and the commercial sector have different aims and norms (Nelson & Byers, 2005), time frames, language (Trzmielak, Gwarda-Gruszczyńska & M. van Geenhuizen, 2010), and culture. Another barrier can be the weak absorptive capacity of the partners (Trzmielak, 2011). One of the indicated reasons is the lack of equity funds and the high costs of innovation.…”

Abstract:The paper presents results of the research conducted in a form of in-depth interviews and an online survey mirroring a series of target groups: scientists and entrepreneurs in Poland, two developing EU countries (the Czech Republic and Hungary), two developed EU countries (Norway, France), USA and Canada. The aim was to gather insights concerning a model of cooperation between science and business in the process of knowledge transfer in Poland. The work involved a comparative analysis with systems identified in: developed European countries; European countries similar to the Polish stage of development of knowledge transfer; the USA and Canada. The results shows that Polish respondents underestimate the relational factors like: active entrepreneurs in initiating cooperation, responsiveness, openness, trust, and good communication skills. Good relationships between scientists and businesses should be built based on two main characteristics: activity of entrepreneurs and scientists openness for business needs. Both academics and entrepreneurs rank the existence of mutual understanding of each others' needs and commitment as essential.
