Abstract

The soft aspects of technology, such as knowledge, skills, and organisation, are the critical aspects for the successful transfer of technology.Tacit knowledge and personal experience of an individual can only be obtained in a tacit manner.Therefore social interaction is very important to facilitate technological knowledge transfer among the units within an organisation.This paper aims to contribute to the existing knowledge in the field of technology transfer by exploring the concept of social capital.Using the data from a survey on industrial firms in one of the technology parks in Malaysia, this paper provides an investigation on the relationship between social capital and technology transfer performance, within the technology park incubating company setting. It was found that two of three dimensions of social capital have significant relationships with the performance of technology transfer.
