近年來環境快速變遷與產品生命週期逐漸縮短，使得公司更加重視在創新研發上的深度跟廣度以維持其競爭優勢。這使組織更加積極獲取知識且更加依賴知識的持續累積與發展，因此藉由產學合作吸取外部知識越顯重要，而技術移轉為企業與學校進行產學合作最常使用的合作方式之一，藉由相關的資訊移轉給員工並獲取外部資源以提升企業的競爭優勢，補足現有資源的短缺、增強公司在這環境快速變遷下的生存能力。因此了解技術移轉過程必備的關鍵成功因素，使其推行過程能順利運行且成功執行為目前最為首要的課題，藉由這些關鍵成功因素學校及業界可以加以檢討其推行過程中的不足並加以修正，也利於往後技術移轉合作上的推行，增加新科技產品與擴展新的市場、顧客來源。
技術移轉過程種類眾多且相關議題的探討極為廣泛，本研究整合文獻上關於技術移轉的過程，並根據每個過程以理論為基礎進行深入分析其中的關鍵成功因素，以提升未來在執行技術移轉過程的成功率。
本研究並與曾經參與技術移轉的專家人員進行深度訪談，從中了解技術移轉過程的關鍵成功因素，與這些關鍵成功因素所扮演的角色與其重要度，在方法上採用內容分析法，資料蒐集的部分採深度訪談，並探討其學術與實務間相歧的原因，與文獻所忽略的一些關鍵成功因素。

Nowadays, accelerating pace of environmental exchange and shorting product life cycle force firms to pay more attention on innovation to maintain its competitive advantage. It makes organizations more aggressive to access the knowledge, therefore, to learn the external knowledge by university-industry collaboration is more important in recent years. And technology transfer is one of the most frequently way to university and industry to collaboration, by transferring the relevant information to employees and to obtain external resources to enhance the company’s competitive advantage. Therefore, understanding the critical success factors in the process of university-industry technology transfer to make it successful implementation is the first issue. By the critical success factors, university and industry could check the process and revise the technology transfer, and to increase new products, new markets and new customers.
The issue of technology transfer is extremely broad; this study integrates the literature on the process of technology transfer, according to each process and base on the theory to explore the critical success factors to enhance the future implementation of technology transfer.
These research interviews with the experts, who have participated in the technology transfer, and also learn the critical success factors in the process. We use the in-depth interview to collect our data; we also used content analysis to explore the differences between academic and practical, and the critical success factors which were neglected to the literature.
