Abstract

Technology and knowledge transfer between universities and industry requires researchers and research teams to address the tension between developing the abilities required by different types of activities, namely research and commercialization. The main unit at universities that performs the development of knowledge is the research team; therefore, the main researcher must be able to balance this tension to have success in both activities. This study builds on organizational ambidexterity literature to determine the antecedents at the individual level of the main researcher to successfully achieve both research and commercialization activities. We review the ambidexterity literature to identify these antecedents and illustrate our framework with two research teams at different Spanish universities that have achieved scientific- and commercial-oriented results.
