| This study examines the impact of the partnership synergy and inter-organizational cooperation between government (federal, state, local), public agencies, private companies and local on successful communities commercialization of renewable energy (RE) technologies. The study produced several interesting results: (i) a model was developed that analyzes the role of partnership synergy on technology commercialization, conceptualizing the relationships among partnership drivers, partnership synergy, resources, and commercialization performance; (ii) the major drivers motivating stakeholders of RE projects have been identified and differences between those were recognized; (iii) a novel theoretical and analytical basis of commercialization through partnership and synergy has been established; (iv) interrelated effects of partnership synergy, dynamic capabilities and technology implementation mechanisms on various performance measures of project success have also been identified. Overall, this study and its conceptual model provide a richer understanding of the factors that lead to successful commercialization of RE technologies, possibly applicable to other infrastructural projects, as well. |
