Complex Ties: Investigating the Role of Networks in the Commercialisation of Public Research

该项目旨在了解在竞争激烈的全球经济中导致商业化成功或失败的社会过程，从而确定提高澳大利亚将公共研究发明商业化的能力的活动。创新对澳大利亚的繁荣至关重要，带来了经济和社会效益。该项目研究了平台技术，这些技术可能比一次性使用技术产生更大的影响，因为它们可以以多种方式应用。 利用社交网络模型的最新进展，该项目将详细介绍导致商业化成功和失败的协作网络的重要子结构，为改进创新过程提供见解。

This project seeks to understand the social processes that lead to commercialisation successes or failures in a competitive global economy and thereby identify activities that increase Australia’s ability to commercialise inventions from public research. Innovation is essential to Australia’s prosperity, bringing economic and social benefits. This project examines platform technologies which have a potentially larger impact than single use technologies, because they can be applied in multiple ways. Using the latest advances in social network models, the project will detail the important substructures of collaboration networks which lead to commercialisation successes and failures, providing insights to improve the innovation process.
