“Many of the most successful frameworks for university-industry partnerships have emerged from the universities on the West Coast. Miller and Le Boeuf bring together a set of case studies that help to identify the principles that can guide some types of partnerships through the variety of issues they face.

The authors understand that context matters for successful technology transfer offices, and the opening chapter does a good job of identifying the various issues in terms of constraints within which technology transfer operates.

The audience is primarily university administrators and technology transfer professionals, but companies doing business with universities can also gain from seeing how universities can handle their interface.”
