“…The implication is that this would mark a notable departure from much of current university support for science PhDs, post-docs and faculty which, where it exists, focuses on developing academic capabilities (Wright et al, 2012). Within universities, this might involve the development of greater links between science departments, TTOs and business schools (Wright et al, 2009). Interventions such as entrepreneurship education, business mentoring, and networked incubators can all potentially contribute (Bøllingtoft and Ulhøi, 2005).…”

Social networks are integral to the emergence and development of new ventures but the temporal utility of networks is poorly understood. We consider the initial development of four university spin-offs and examine the formation and development of network ties to construct valuable entrepreneurial competencies. We develop a conceptual framework that explains how strong and weak network ties are strategically transformed in terms of strength and purpose depending on the type of competency sought and the business development need. We conclude that theoretical explanations of the new venture formation process need to incorporate not only network formation but also the role of network tie transformations.

“…To a large extent whether business school faculty members can engage in interdisciplinary collaboration is a matter of their capability to do so (Clarysse, Mosey, & Lambrecht, 2009;Mosey et al, 2012;Wright, Piva, Mosey, & Lockett, 2009 of Management was to bring together departments of science and engineering to develop "bicultural and bilingual" students within business and management education. However, the financing for such an initiative proved so challenging that success was partial at best (Starkey & Tiratsoo, 2007).…”

“…This leads to another relevant topic in entrepreneurship research nowadays which is the need to promote the creation of entrepreneurial mindsets. Some authors (e.g., Colombo, Mustar, & Wright, 2010;Heinonen, 2007;Krueger, 2007;Wright, Piva, Mosey, & Lockett, 2009) stress the importance of the university and the role of the university student in this task. As shown in literature, careers 21 cannot be perceived as linear anymore and they are less associated to an organization.…”

This study analyses the entrepreneurial intentions and the willingness of temporary workers to consider entrepreneurship as a career option. Specifically, we analyse the self-perception of entrepreneurial competencies of a group of temporary workers. A total of 184 temporary workers participated in the study. We performed a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) to identify profiles of entrepreneurial competencies according to temporary workers’ entrepreneurial intention and willingness to consider entrepreneurship as a career option. We conclude that temporary workers do not always perceive themselves as having the necessary competencies to choose for entrepreneurship in their occupational paths. The self-perception of different levels of entrepreneurial competencies is also associated with different intentions and willingness to consider entrepreneurship as a career option. Finally, we provide insights for practice, which can be considered as a starting point for activities aiming to develop entrepreneurial competencies at the individual or organisational levels.
