The Relativity of Technology Transfer

According to professional business coach John Jenkins in "Fuel Cell Today,"

The key to the development of a successful technology licensing team is to develop an understanding of, and empathy for, the priorities of other players in the relationship. Look at the players in the relationship as though they were components in a clock. A clock’s gears, by design, move and operate independently from one another. This very precise interrelationship is integral to the clock functioning properly. Requiring otherwise would not only cause the clock to cease keeping proper time, it would in fact destroy the clock’s individual components. This also applies to teams and players in a technology
licensing relationship.
