Abstract

This study aims to develop understanding of non-traditional knowledge transfer (KT) activities inside universities. Grounded theory research is undertaken in four universities in the United Kingdom and one in Australia. Coding of the data reveals 26 constructs, which are presented as a conceptual model of knowledge transfer. A number of high leverage enhancements to KT systems are hypothesised; that extensive KT is impossible without comprehensive integration into existing systems, that exponentially increasing KT system complexity requires innovative infrastructure, and finally, that entrepreneurialism may only be fostered through the opportunity for individuals to act entrepreneurially.
