Bercovitz is an authority on academic entrepreneurship and technology transfer coming out of university research. [2] Bercovitz asks the basic question of why some academic units and individual professors are actively engaged in technology transfer, while others are much less engaged. Her work with longtime co-author Maryann Feldman points to organizational structures and individual characteristics. Prior research had suggested that such certain universities are more prolific in technology transfer simply due to their greater scientific resources. Bercovitz and Feldman identified the role of social forces within an academic unit on the likelihood of becoming an academic entrepreneur. [3] [4] For example, at a local level, individual researchers' decisions to disclose inventions might be shaped by the norms of their own doctoral training, the behavior of their peer group in the university, and disclosure activities by a department chair. These influences go beyond selection effects from hiring researchers with a greater, or lesser, proclivity to disclose. Bercovitz has also studied the structure of contracting relationships in university technology transfer, [5] and information technology service contracts. [6]
Bercovicz has also studied business franchisor-franchisee agreements. [7]
Organizational learning is the process of creating, retaining, and transferring knowledge within an organization. An organization improves over time as it gains experience. From this experience, it is able to create knowledge. This knowledge is broad, covering any topic that could better an organization. Examples may include ways to increase production efficiency or to develop beneficial investor relations. Knowledge is created at four different units: individual, group, organizational, and inter organizational.

Social entrepreneurship is an approach by individuals, groups, start-up companies or entrepreneurs, in which they develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. This concept may be applied to a wide range of organizations, which vary in size, aims, and beliefs. For-profit entrepreneurs typically measure performance using business metrics like profit, revenues and increases in stock prices. Social entrepreneurs, however, are either non-profits, or they blend for-profit goals with generating a positive "return to society". Therefore, they use different metrics. Social entrepreneurship typically attempts to further broad social, cultural and environmental goals often associated with the voluntary sector in areas such as poverty alleviation, health care and community development.
Computer simulation is a prominent method in organizational studies and strategic management. While there are many uses for computer simulation, most academics in the fields of strategic management and organizational studies have used computer simulation to understand how organizations or firms operate. More recently, however, researchers have also started to apply computer simulation to understand organizational behaviour at a more micro-level, focusing on individual and interpersonal cognition and behavior such as team working.
Knowledge sharing is an activity through which knowledge is exchanged among people, friends, peers, families, communities, or within or between organizations. It bridges the individual and organizational knowledge, improving the absorptive and innovation capacity and thus leading to sustained competitive advantage of companies as well as individuals. Knowledge sharing is part of the knowledge management process.

Resource slack, in the business and management literature, is the level of availability of a resource. Resource slack can be considered as the opposite of resource scarcity or resource constraints.
University technology transfer offices (TTOs), or technology licensing offices (TLOs), are responsible for technology transfer and other aspects of the commercialization of research that takes place in a university. TTOs engage in a variety of commercial activities that are meant to facilitate the process of bringing research developments to market, often acting as a channel between academia and industry. Most major research universities have established TTOs in the past decades in an effort to increase the impact of university research and provide opportunities for financial gain. While TTOs are commonplace, many studies have questioned their financial benefit to the university.
