Values and competencies of the university researchers, and technology transfer officers strongly influence the commercialization process of the university-led intellectual property. Existing studies provide limited explanation as to how researchers’ values and capability as entrepreneurs and as collaborating agent with other stakeholders may influence commercialization process. More studies need to be done to explain the dimensions of values and competency in the process of commercializing university intellectual property. Existing studies do not provide sufficient evidence about the relationship between values and competence. Studies on the role of values in intellectual property commercialization are almost non-existent. This study reviews the existing studies on values and competencies to explain the success and failure of commercialization in university-led intellectual properties.
