# Evaluating the Intertwined Relationships of the Drivers for University Technology Transfer
## 4 Empirical Research and Discussion
### Analysis of Direct and Indirect Impact of Main Aspects on University Technology Transfer
Hence, in order to facilitate R&D achievement transfers, both the university and the industry should have a relationship built on mutual trust with professors so that they have the possibility of further negotiation. Through continuous communication and interaction, professors will have the will for technology transfer. The university can also present the curriculum or conferences related to technology transfer to deliver positive technology transfer information to professors, further increasing the possibility for technology transfer. If universities or industry can clarify the professors' thoughts, it may effectively help the utilization of R&D achievements or patents. Messages from a university's top managers are regarded as a norm that affects the professors' behavior and their perceptions and attitude. Because top university managers are major decision makers, the university should shape, influence, or guide the professors' beliefs and behavior in conducting R&D achievement transfer, creating a suitable environment for the professors. The university should help professors improve their technology transfer know-how and capability and develop the professors' new potential. Top managers should have high self-efficacy, a positive attitude towards technology transfer, and provide considerable support toward achieving the goal (the success of technology transfer), thereby generating better management effectiveness and innovation. The quality of technology research directly affects the final R&D result; therefore, top managers should have excellent management and R&D abilities to help to improve communication and interaction with the professors. Because of the different perceptions of R&D between the university and industrial circles, the possibility for R&D achievements being directly used is low. Thus, the establishment of an industry-university cooperation platform will create a medium for interaction and information exchange. Through this platform, we can integrate academic theory and practical experience, and diminish the difference between theory and practice. This enables professors' R&D directions and achievements to meet the needs of industry development and society as a whole. The university can also publish and promote R&D achievements. The university can plan to assign professors to businesses for advanced studies during the summer or winter break. By doing so, professors will become familiar with the development direction of the industry, the problems they are facing, and their actual needs. Further, they will build relationships with industry leaders and reinforce industry-university research cooperation. Hence, through the establishment of an industry-university cooperation platform, the university and the industry will develop a close relationship, facilitating the transfer of technology. The results demonstrated that the \"attitude of inventor\" measurement's impact is one of the foremost critical concerns. Within the commercial union, one sees that for conducting university technology transfers, as this implies holding or procuring particular competencies, in this manner they maximize their capacity to adjust to their environment. University technology transfer has become an important trend for complementing the national industrial upgrading strategy. We should try to cultivate more skilled and specialized inventors. Universities adapt to a competitive environment by looking for particular information, which can be obtained through permitting agreements, or by gaining organizational or specialized information from key inventors. To maximize the success rate of a technology transfer, the selecting inventors must assess each target enterprise's financial situation based on a rigorous examination of the potential target ventures. Meanwhile, the selecting inventor ought to thoroughly investigate the target enterprise's sales philosophy and the essential factors that influence their decisions. The school identity and image have recently become a point of significant interest for university technology transfer.
