CONCEPTS OF INNOVATION IN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ON THE EXAMPLE OF SELECTED COUNTRIES

The aim of the study was to analyse the existing concept of technology transfer and the experience of selected countries. The starting point was outlining the essence of the strategic paradigm of the innovation and technology transfer theory. The concept of the subject-territorial origin of innovation was also interpreted, emphasizing the fact that small companies, linked to one another in a network of business relationships, form structures that bind them to the environment in which they operate, This translates into effectiveness of the processes of technology transfer. The paper also analyses the dynamic and interactive models of technology transfer in selected countries with a long tradition of noticeable effects in terms of transfers of innovative technology solutions.
