Abstract

Nowadays, there is tough competition in global

markets so that companies must be able to

meet their customers’ expectations and needs

satisfactorily. This is possible through technological

development. This study’s purpose is to determine

whether technology transfer affects on the quality

performance. If technology transfer affects on

the quality performance, the way of effects is

searched, is it affected by positively or negatively.

Structural equation modeling was used for research

model analysis. The results of research show that

technology transfer affects quality performance

positively and technology transfer performance

does not have difference effects on the different

quality performance criteria.

Keywords

Technology transfer, performance of technology transfer, quality performance
