The author describes the existing technology transfer methodology used in the major high technology industries and proposes a model of technology transfer that involves research groups´ focus on different aspects of the product development cycle. A case study of a large development environment is discussed. Various levels of technology transfer methods employed for achieving a highly reliable product in a short development cycle-so that the opportunity window is not missed-are discussed. Some issues in selection of appropriate technology are discussed, and suggestions for improvements are provided
