Space technology transfer: spin-off cases from Japan / Venturini, Karen; Verbano, Chiara; Matsumoto, Mitsutaka   Journal Article
Venturini, Karen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Government organizations have to justify high expenditure during periods of financial crisis such as the one we are experiencing today. Space agencies have attempted to increase the returns on their investments in space missions by encouraging the commercial use of advanced technologies. This paper describes two technology transfer (TT) cases promoted by JAXA, in order to identify the organizational models and determinants of TT. The development of a TT process from space to Earth not only benefits the aerospace industry but also the network of national companies. The aim of the paper is to investigate who the actors are and the nature of their role, as well as the determinants of the TT process in the Japanese space sector. The case studies confirm the typical path of transfer as 'Earth-space-Earth'.

Space technology transfer policies: learning from scientific satellite case studies / Petroni, Giorgio; Venturini, Karen; Santini, Stefano   Journal Article
Petroni, Giorgio Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract The paper reports research into the transfer of technology typically used in the construction of scientific satellites. Four case studies are analyzed to clarify some basic mechanisms of the transfer of space technology to the industrial system. The paper finds that the technologies analyzed in the construction of satellites for the most part stem from the integration of technical processes already known in various industrial sectors; the use of these processes in space involves their substantial strengthening and upgrading in terms of performance; and this upgrading permits them to return to industrial sectors that use the technological advances acquired for coping with complex problems in the space sector. This research has helped validate some of the determinants of technology transfer already noted in the literature, while increasing the number and content of these. Useful indications emerge for policy makers and agents involved in technology transfer programs.

Systematic review of the Space technology transfer literature: research synthesis and emerging gaps / Venturini, Karen; Verbano, Chiara   Journal Article
Venturini, Karen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract In order to justify high expenditure during this period of financial crisis, Space Agencies have attempted to increase the returns on their investments in Space missions by encouraging the commercial use of advanced technologies. The development of a technology transfer process from Space to Earth not only benefits the Aerospace industry but also the network of national companies. Technology transfer has been shown to stimulate innovation in business and commerce, support economic growth and provide a return on public investment in research and development (R&D). The aim of this paper is to systematically review the Space technology transfer literature and to suggest directions for future research. The range of research and studies in the literature on this topic requires a systematic review to summarize the results in an unbiased and balanced manner and to interpret these in a way that highlights the research gaps. This article presents an overview of the dominant thinking (explicit in selected articles from 1995 to present), indicating the problems of analysis, research gaps and a future research program.
