Technology brokers in the North American software industry: getting the most out of mismatched dyads
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the role of technology brokers in facilitating technology transfer from a small software firm to a large software firm and vice versa reveals that the broker is tasked with providing an effective link between firms. Brokers may transfer technology to more than one client and it is also possible that brokers work initially for a larger client. A broker's effectivity may be determined by the efficiency of the link between a smaller firm's development and engineering expertise and a larger firm's production and marketing expertise.
