Abstract

Unique characteristics have rendered the knowledge industrialization systems of Korea underdeveloped. The analysis utilizes the Survey on Korean Industry-University/ Public Research Institutions (PRIs) relationships and conceptualizes the modes of knowledge transfer from public research organizations (PROs) to estimate their impact on firm performance.
