Abstract

University to industry knowledge transfer (UIKT) has becomes one of many interesting issue in knowledge transfer literature and has generated a conceptual and empirical results debates between two contrasting views concerned on the positive and negative effects of UIKT on organizational performance. The inconsistent results so far show that there are still many variables to be considered in explaining the effect of knowledge transfer on the alliance performance. The difference culture and mission between university and industry lead to another problem to solve the alliance performance of university and industry alliance in the level of dyadic analysis. This paper discusses a proposed conceptual model of antecedents (knowledge attributes, organizational attributes, network attributes) and consequent of university to industry knowledge transfer and the role of uncertainties as moderating variable that might affect the relationship between UIKT and the alliance performance. Transaction cost economics, resource-based, and knowledge-based perspectives are used to develop some proposition to explain the relationships between variables in the proposed framework of university to industry knowledge transfer.
