abstract: This study assesses performance data from 137 universities in the United States over the course of three years, focusing on the performance of these universities in the Tech Transfer process. Following the main research question, this study will assess three different TTO performance indicators and will investigate the role environmental context have on the outcomes of TTO’s. Accordingly, regression methods are applied, in which a number of control variables regarding the size and quality of the university and TTO are included. Results indicate that regional variance is present. However, when control variables are included, no environmental variable has a significant influence on any of the TTO performance indicators. It is noted that performance is largely influenced by the size of universities and their respective research expenditures. Furthermore, private schools turn out to be more active in creating spin-offs and licensing income. Based on these results, new avenues for research are identified.
