This study examines the primary external control mechanism of universities (i.e. international rankings) to assess their knowledge exploration and exploitation performance. A taxonomy of indicators from the perspective of ambidexterity is presented. The most prestigious global university...

This inductive case study of 7 US university technology transfer offices (TTOs) examines the value added that TTOs contribute to university-industry technology transfer (UITT ). We therefore (i) characterize a set of central organizational TTO practices, (ii) describe how TTOs systemically...
