Abstract
The paper puts forward a possible generic model for the process of technology transfer. It describes in a generalised style how the process takes place in typical industrial circumstances, ranging from initial awareness to in-use support. One might imagine that the example under study the adoption of a new software engineering method and associated toolset in a company, in a business which makes substantial use of computers embedded in its products. This model relates primarily to the transfer of discrete software process technology, i.e. a new method or toolset. The model is based on experience, gained over the last 15 years, in carrying out technology transfer activities in areas ranging from developing countries to major multinational software, electronics-based and defence companies in Europe and the USA.
