As we move further into the 21st century, increasing emphasis is being placed on the importance of technology transfer. Through new research and practices, scholars, practitioners and policymakers have made great strides in broadening our understanding and ability to implement technology transfer and commercialization processes. The fruit of that research is collected in this timely volume. Technology transfer is a dynamic area of study that examines traditional topics such as intellectual property management, the management of risk, market identification, the role of public and private labs, and the role of universities. This volume reflects on how government, business and academia influence technology transfer in different countries and how the infrastructure of a country enhances technology and contributes to each country s overall economy. Interpreting and adopting the processes of technology transfer and commercialization or, building innovative ecosystems is critical to seeing success in this digital age. Those leading the surge toward building innovative ecosystems for technology transfer are the fellows of the Institute for Innovation Creativity and Capital (IC2 Institute) at The University of Texas at Austin. Global in its scope of solving market economy problems, for this volume the Institute has focused its lens on accelerated knowledge-based development. Here, scholars from 13 countries come together to critique technology transfer from each of their respective nations. The results of their contributions lend innovative insight to exactly how different nations are working to maximize technology transfer and commercialization in uncertain times. Those with an interest in commercialization and technology transfer, from students to scholars, practitioners to policymakers, will find this important collection of great value.

Like other organizations across the world, military establishments apply the concept of entrepreneurship to day-to-day activities. However, literature on the topic runs thin, creating a gap in the research on this area of military involvement in entrepreneurship. These studies focus heavily on three topics: ex-military officers in entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial-minded individuals still in the military, and military spouses as successful entrepreneurs. It is essential that researchers interrogate these three areas across different locational contexts for a clear representation and understanding of the many forms of military entrepreneurship. This research focuses on outcomes, the entrepreneurial process, economic activities, and ontological directions. Military entrepreneurship is cross-cultural; spans varied locations; and is linked to retired, retiring, serving military personnel, and military spouses. Global Perspectives on Military Entrepreneurship and Innovation builds on existing theoretical and empirical studies in the areas of entrepreneurship and military business and enterprise to interrogate the concepts of military entrepreneurship, veteran entrepreneurship, military spouse entrepreneurship (or military women entrepreneurship), and retirees’ entrepreneurship. The book is a collection of studies on military entrepreneurship, treating the subject with emphasis on metacognition, and interrogates differences in metacognitive processing across cultures and values relating to military entrepreneurship. The chapters cover various concepts in military entrepreneurship and promote entrepreneurship research within the military ecosystem. This book is ideal for military personnel, entrepreneurs, managers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the concept of military entrepreneurship and innovation narratives.
