Technological Entrepreneurship for IT/IS Innovations and Inventions

Exploitation of university research has been recognized as an important driving force for technology transfer and societal benefit. However, the level of success of commercialization of inventions (innovations) for IT/IS (and engineering) from higher institution to industry is insufficient. There is a paucity of agreed commercialization in terms of execution processes to support inventions of prototypes moving from laboratories to the right market which is more apparent in a Muslim world (ummah). This article proposes a conceptual framework to investigate the commercialization of research outcomes for IT invention (innovation) from the research centers to facilitate the commercialization objective. The research aims to carry out selective case studies in the technology and science park with venture capitalist and firms from industry in the university commercialization program engagement. The framework propose an investigation based on resource based perspective and dynamic capabilities Eisenhardt & Martin, 2000). This research is expected to offer a research commercialization model and practical contribution for successful commercialization and licensing among academics entrepreneurs in Muslim world.
