Abstract
In recent years, technology transfer and its industrial implementation (TTII) based on industry-academia-government (IAG) collaboration have been discussed in various fields. Furthermore, key factors for success of individual cases have been reported. For technology transfer, the coordination function is crucially important to industrial implementation based on IAG collaboration. However, most of the anecdotal reports on this function in the past were descriptive, and systematic and mathematical examinations have not been made. This study analyzes 100 cases of successful TTII, and based on these analyses, the causes of the success were extracted. In addition, the function of coordination and the roles of coordinators is analytically clarified using multivariate analyses, and a model of IAG collaboration is given. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the examination of effective management in IAG, development of human resources for coordination, and the design of a backup system for IAG.
