Knowledge Based View of University Tech Transfer—A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis

Research and technology commercialization at research-intensive universities has helped to develop provincial economies resulting in university startups, the growth of other new companies and associated employment. University technology transfer offices (TTOs) oversee the process of technology transfer into the commercial marketplace and these organizational units can be considered in the context of enabling effective knowledge management. However, what enables productive TTO performance has not been comprehensively researched. Therefore, this research study adopted the knowledge-based view as the theoretical construct to support a comprehensive investigation into this area. This was achieved through employing a systematic literature review (SLR) combined with a robust meta-analysis. The SLR identified an initial total of 10,126 articles in the first step of the review process, with 44 studies included in the quantitative synthesis, and 29 quantitative empirical studies selected for the meta-analysis. The research study identified that the relationship between TTO knowledge management and knowledge deployment as well as startup business performance is where TTOs secure the strongest returns.

Activities related to Enterprise Systems (ES) are knowledge-intensive tasks, and the management of ES-related knowledge has received much attention in the Knowledge Management (KM) field. A systematic literature review of empirical studies of KM processes in the ES lifecycle identifies the KM processes most widely explored and the ES-related knowledge most often addressed. From 350 relevant book chapters, journal articles, and conference papers, 49 papers discuss KM processes in the ES lifecycle. The KM process that appears most often in studies of KM in the ES context is knowledge transfer/sharing. The type of ES-related knowledge most often studied in the literature is knowledge of the client organization.

The aim of this study was to analyze hotel brand loyalty (HBL) based on a systematic literature review conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) statements. Following these statements, we searched two databases (Scopus and Web of Science) for studies containing the term ‘hotel brand loyalty’. Additionally, the backward and forward snowballing methods were applied. Only empirical studies concerning loyalty towards brand hotels were included, resulting in 26 studies in the final review. The quality of the various studies was evaluated according to the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist. The studies included in the systematic review were analyzed in three areas: general details and study design (authorship, year of publication, type of study, research country or location, characteristic of the sample population, the purpose of stay or travel, type of hotels, hotel brands), research specifications (factors/variables, hypotheses, measurement items, data analysis), and general findings (findings related to HBL and managerial recommendations). To summarize the results, word cloud visualization was applied. For studies included in the systematic review, HBL was analyzed on two levels: in the context of factors determining the guest/tourist loyalty to the hotel brands (such as frequently mentioned brand awareness, brand image, and perceived quality) as well as those pertaining to models of brand equity. This highlighted the need for managers to perform activities in terms of brand experience and shape long-term relationships in order to strengthen loyalty to hotel brands.

Pediatric All

Abstract Introduction: Advances in chemotherapeutic regimens have improved pediatric ALL survival rates from less than 10% in the 1960s to approximately 90% currently (Hunger et al NEJM 2015). Asparaginase (ASP), as a component of the multi-agent chemotherapy regimen has become a cornerstone treatment for ALL. Pegaspargase (Oncaspar, PEG) is a pegylated asparaginase with sustained asparaginase activity, offering less frequent administration and associated with less treatment-related anxiety compared to native E.coli L-asparaginase (Place et al Lancet Oncol 2015). Due to the ample amount of data available for PEG, a systematic literature review and quantitative synthesis of evidence was previously performed to assess the relative benefit of PEG versus native ASP in newly diagnosed ALL patients in terms of event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) (Kilpatrick et al ICPE 2016). The main objective of this investigation was to update the literature review by identifying additional relevant scientific clinical evidence of PEG in first line treatment of ALL in pediatric patients, and to expand the investigation to include adult patients. Methods: All available evidence for newly diagnosed patients treated in pediatric and adult ALL protocols using PEG or native ASP was identified using a search algorithm. Randomized, observational and cohort studies were included. Outcomes were EFS and OS. Safety/immunogenicity was also examined. Feasibility was then explored in this order: direct comparison meta-analysis (MA) if at least two head-to-head trials were found, indirect comparison (network MA) if a common comparator could be identified or separate product MAs (pooled estimates) of PEG and native ASP using a random effects model. The individual product MA was analyzed for two important variables: risk category (standard & high risk) and by distinct age groups. Pooling was conducted, assuming normality, using the software Comprehensive Meta-Analysis, version 2. Results:There were 62 and 30 studies that met pre-specified inclusion criteria for abstraction for pediatric and adult populations, respectively. Some identified studies in both populations provided data for both asparaginases. Therefore, in pediatrics: 39 studies provided data for PEG and 41 for nativeASP, in adults: 10 studies provided data for PEG and 23 for nativeASP. Direct MA was not feasible as only one head-to-head study was identified. Also due to lack of common comparator, indirect MA was infeasible. Pooled estimate of EFS and OS data for pediatric ALL patients treated with PEG or native ASP is shown in table 1 below. Forest plot with pooled estimate of 5-year OS in adult ALL patients treated with PEG or native ASP is presented in figure 1, categorized by age group when available. Overall safety was consistent with product class for both asparaginases. Conclusions: A systematic literature review and quantitative synthesis constitute an important approach to critically appraise relevant research. Consistent with published data, better outcomes were observed in pediatric than adults patients. The result from this updated research synthesisdemonstrates a positive effectiveness profile of PEG in the treatment of newly diagnosed ALL patients with less frequent administration.

Our study aims to analyze factors determining the green brand equity (GBE) based on a systematic literature review (SLR) according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. We posed 3 research questions and searched five databases (Scopus, Web of Sciences, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and Elsevier) for studies containing the term ‘green brand equity’ and the combination of two terms: ‘brand equity’ and ‘green’. Additionally, the backward and forward snowballing methods were applied. In our SLR, we included empirical studies published between 2006 and 2021 as peer-reviewed papers in English. Exclusion criteria included studies with theoretical models, studies describing brand equity not related to GBE, Ph.D. thesis, short reports, workshop papers, practice guidelines, book chapters, reviews, and conference publications. Finally, 33 articles were analyzed as part of the SLR in two fields: general information (authorship, year of publication, type of study, research country or location, sample size, and product categories), and research specifications (factors or variables, number and type of hypotheses, scale or measurement items, type of statistical analysis, and selected indicators of statistical methods). Image, trust, value, satisfaction, and loyalty appeared to be the most studied determinants of GBE. Less frequently analyzed were quality, awareness, attributes, particular promotional activities, and the fact of purchase. The results obtained are important in practical terms, showing what to consider when creating GBE in different categories of products and services.
