Chapter 6 The Evolutionary Business Valuation of Technology Transfer
No full textConventional models for the business valuation of technology are usually financially oriented and only measure economic value. Several of these financially oriented approaches have been reviewed by Leloux and Groen (2007). Current monetary (financial) valuation methods for technology include cost-based methods, income-based methods and market-based method
Guidelines for Measuring and Reporting Environmental Parameters for Experiments in Greenhouses
No full textThe importance of appropriate, accurate measurement and reporting of environmental parameters in plant sciences is a significant aspect of quality assurance for all researchers and their research. There is a clear need for ensuring research across the world can be compared, understood and where necessary replicated by fellow researchers. A common set of guidelines to educate, assist and encourage comparativeness is of great importance. On the other hand, the level of effort and attention to detail by an individual researcher should be commensurate with the particular research being conducted. For example, a researcher focusing on interactions of light and temperature should measure all relevant parameters and report a measurement summary that includes sufficient detail allowing for replication. Such detail may be less relevant when the impact of environmental parameters on plant growth and development is not the main research focus. However, it should be noted that the environmental experience of a plant during production can have significant impact when subsequent experiments investigate plants at a molecular, biochemical or genetic level or where species interactions are considered. Thus, researchers are encouraged to make a critical assessment of what parameters are of primary importance in their research and these parameters should be measured and reported.© 2015 Both et al.

Chapter 1 Introduction
No full textThe presentation of papers in this volume follows the logical and chronological process in which knowledge produced by universities is subsequently exploited. Beginning with a consideration of the business idea recognition process Lucas, Cooper, and Rodriguez-Falcon in Chapter 2 seek to understand the psychological mechanisms that trigger the recognition of science and technology-based opportunities for new ventures. By a number of qualitative interviews at the University of Sheffield, and a survey of science and engineering students at four UK universities, this topic is explored as a major component of opportunity recognition. In Chapter 3, Warren conducts an in-depth examination of the nature and extent of work carried out by a PhD engineer involved in various phases of a high tech university “spin-off.” Through a qualitative case study she addresses the important impact that the creation of a university spin-out has on the career development of engineering researchers, which can hinder the spin-out process if not managed effectively
