Sažetak
Despite the growing interest in the impact of academic-industry knowledge transfer on knowledge sharing among the members of the life science academic communities, the majority of studies have focused only on patenting, leaving the effects of other forms of knowledge transfer largely unexplored. Also, in assessing the knowledge transfer-knowledge sharing relationship, many studies have failed to consider the potential heterogeneity of different forms of knowledge sharing. Furthermore, there is an overall lack of research in this area with the focus on more than one empirical setting. In this paper, we rely on extensive literature review and empirical evidence from in-depth interviews with 38 academic researchers, industry researchers and managers and technology transfer specialists from six countries in order to reveal their experiences, attitudes and predictions regarding the role of knowledge transfer in interactions with other members of the life science community. We also identify a broad range of individual and context-specific predictors of knowledge sharing restrictions, including competition, expected reciprocity, professional age, tenure status, scientific values, scientific output and institutional policy. Drawing from the social capital and social exchange theories and using analytic induction we develop an individual-level conceptual model of knowledge transfer-knowledge sharing flows. The study contributes to the ongoing debates on the impact of commercial considerations at academic institutions on adherence to the norms of open science.
