Translating the university research venture capitalist and firms involvement in the commercialisation of computing artefacts

Despite there is a general agreement of translation processes to support computing artefacts moving from university researchers to the right market, the success in industry is questionable. The aim of this article is to assess the commercialisation of research for computing artefacts to support the commercialisation objective. The analysis is proposed in universities as selective case studies to foresee the university capabilities to undertake the commercialisation venture. The selected case studies involved how external firms or venture capitalists from industry play their roles in the university commercialisation collaboration programme. The commercialisation computing artefacts from universities are investigated based on both market and technological and capabilities perspective. These findings offer a commercialisation model and practical handbook for successful commercialisation and licensing for the commercialisation of computing artefacts derive from academic research.
