Abstract
Building upon forty-three semi-structured interviews with universities partnership with technology-based small firms (TBSFs) for knowledge transfer in the United Kingdom, this study explores how social capital influences knowledge transfer in fostering innovation in TBSFs. Accordingly, the study advances the knowledge-based view of innovation by using the social capital theory to explore the implications and complexities associated with knowledge transfer within the context of university-TBSFs partnerships. Our findings indicate that structural, relational and cognitive elements of social capital significantly influence the knowledge transfer between university and TBSFs and set up the platform for innovation. We found that strong ties, friendship-based relationship, reciprocal, norms and trusted relationship are crucial in facilitating knowledge transfer to achieve innovation outcome. Result also indicates that the cognitive aspects create meaningful communication and support knowledge transfer within the partnership.
