The Model of Spin-Off Research Companies to Create Knowledge Spin-Off Networks

Ideation, research and technological innovation will be valuable only when they lead to wealth creation. Commercialization is a way to link science and economy and to create wealth by innovation. Successful commercialization of technology requires gathering several factors such as creative thinking, technical knowledge, entrepreneurial thinking, financial resources, and explicit and implicit knowledge. By moving the university to be entrepreneurship oriented, a lot of research is done that many of them were in parallel, having a knowledge network, this parallel working can be deleted, and new knowledge will be created. If it was possible to make a network between scientists and science management organization and between technology and market, it would be possible to create a chain of knowledge in researches. This paper was a qualitative study that researchers studied the literature of incubators and spin-off companies, documents and databases and had interviews with experts from the science and technology parks and knowledge management professionals using deep and open interviewing technique and investigated spin-off science networks in spin-off research companies. Considering that there is no specific research that has studied spin-off science networks and spin-off research companies and has not raised any specific models, with the help of interview results, the model of spin-off research companies to create knowledge spin-off networks was suggested by the researchers.
