Decision Making by Technology Transfer Partners: An Agent-Based Approach
Abstract
Technology Transfer (TT) is the result of the interaction between actors who agree to exchange ownership, knowledge and value. However, the decision involved in the selection by these partners is open in the literature. This research proposes an artifact for decision-making support that considers this transaction as a Complex Adaptive System (CAS). Thus, the proposal provides a construct vocabulary that serves as an analytical framework for modeling both the structure and behavior of the interaction between abstracted TT actors and agents. The results show that the artifact assists in the identification of decision criteria and in the observation of emerging patterns resulting from the dynamics of agents.References
