Over the years, universities have been considered as research centers that seek to collaborate with industries to create innovative products. This link has generated many concepts, among them being the concept of technology transfer. The objective of this work is to present a systematic review on the technology transfer generated in university-industry collaboration (UIC). Based on a review of 66 papers, the results presented in this article include the technology transfer (TT) models presented in the literature, a description of the common elements in a transfer process, and a description of the interaction between the elements involved, through the presentation of a conceptual model of technology transfer in the context of collaboration between the university and the industry.

This paper empirically investigates the influence of technological attributes on the sourcing of relevant production technologies by subsidiaries based in the Ibero-American region. We draw on the concept of strategic roles, internal embeddedness, capacity, and organizational learning. We gained rich insights into the topic through a focus on case studies of German Multinational Companies and their production subsidiaries based in Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Spain. Semi-structural interviews, observation of the sourced technology and other data collection techniques were applied, and a cross-case analysis was implemented to obtain the results. This paper suggests that across Ibero-American production subsidiaries, production technology with certain complexity related to their strategic roles is internally sourced. Finally, the strategic role of the subsidiary and technology familiarity is low; external sources will be chosen regardless of the complexity of the technology. The findings have important implications for technology managers of Ibero-American based subsidiaries, who are decision makers in the sourcing of production technologies and offer empirical evidence to understand the positioning of some Ibero-American markets in the global innovation map.
