Students as Transferors of Knowledge
质疑了从大学向企业知识转移中“成功”的定义、测量和解释，通过评估一个利用学生向中小企业转移知识的项目，批判性地审视了不同的成功定义和评估方法，并为预测成功提供指导。
Measuring the success of knowledge transfer from universities to firms has traditionally been seen as an unproblematic activity, apart from the practical issues of how to measure the new jobs and sales that have been created.This article problematizes the concept of`success' in terms of its definition, measurement and interpretation. It explores critically one approach to policy evaluation by assessing a programme of knowledge transfer to SMEs using university students. It reviews critically different definitions of success and methods of assessing success. It provides guidance on how to predict success, which may be useful for other programmes of knowledge transfer.An agenda for future research in this area is proposed that links this paper's approach to other methods of evaluation.
