The concept of change in technology transfer
Orit Hazzan, Yael Dubinsky · 2006
In this paper we describe two case studies of technology transfer, both of which address the adoption of Extreme Programming, the most prevalent agile software development method. The first case takes place in an industrial setting; the second -- in academia. For the analysis of these cases, we use two concepts: a software development method lifestyle and the concept of change. We propose that these concepts, as well as a combination thereof, can serve as a framework within which change processes in general, and technology transfer events in particular, can be analyzed.
