Abstract: This paper uses an interpretive analysis to exam past and present developments in knowledge commercialization and provide researchers, policy makers, and university leaders an alternative framework. The model is based on historical precedent, and current economic realities, for effectively commercializing knowledge in the entrepreneurial age. While traditional technology transfer focused on an organizational centric approach, we propose an individual centric model of technology commercialization from universities. The move from an organization centric model to an individual centric model will likely follow past eras of change and innovation in higher education. The challenge for regional and university leadership is clear. Find methods and models for unleashing the knowledge across campus to solve local and regional challenges.
