“…Krabel and colleagues (2012) argue that promoting a diverse and internationally-oriented institutional environment stimulates creativity and the exchange of competencies, which can lead to innovation generation. Regarding academics' research orientation, Bojko et al (2020) found that while academics focused on the development of national-oriented research activity tend to engage more with the local innovation system, academics with a stronger orientation towards international research tend to engage more in collaborations within the academic community.…”

Higher Education Institutions are expected to stimulate the innovation system and to contribute to the development of societies in a global perspective. Within this context, there is an increasing focus on internationalization. HEIs are developing institutional mechanisms to support internationalization while academics are expected to carry specific practices that allow them to improve the internationalization of knowledge production. At the same time, they are encouraged to engage with non-academic partners to co-produce and transfer knowledge, contributing, in this way, to economic and social development. Although there is some research on the impact of internationalization on academic entrepreneurship, studies on the effects in other dimensions of academic engagement with society are almost absent. This paper aims to fill this gap by analyzing the relationship between academics’ internationalization practices and perceptions and the development of different types of academic engagement. Our analysis draws on quantitative analysis with data provided by an international survey (APIKS) and explores the Portuguese context. Findings show that the different practices and perspectives on internationalization impact differently on the way scientists engage. While there are positive effects of internationalization of research on engagement, the time academics stay abroad and the high focus on publishing in internationally high-rated journals may negatively affect academics’ orientation towards the local community. This paper contributes to the debate on the role of the internationalization in the context of a knowledge-based society, considering different dimensions and a broad spectrum of knowledge-based engagement activities.

“…Although internationalization and academic engagement are key priorities of HEIs' strategies (Bojko et al, 2020), the relationship between the two phenomena remains unclear. Previous literature has primarily focused on the collaboration between HEIs and industry, as well as the commercialization of knowledge and technology.…”

“…al. ( 2021 ) demonstrated that research productivity has a positive impact on academic entrepreneurship, though this effect is stronger among the ones who are engaged locally. Those who are eager to disseminate their research globally seem to have more difficulty to reconcile those aims with academic entrepreneurship.…”

Relationship between faculty characteristics and their entrepreneurial orientation in higher education institutions in Kuwait

et al. 2022

Considering intrapreneurship theory, this study aims to examine the extent to which the entrepreneurial orientation of faculty employed at Kuwaiti higher education institutions differ across their individual-level attributes. Faculty entrepreneurial orientation will be assessed at three levels, i.e., innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactivity. For this purpose, we surveyed a sample of 291 faculty from Kuwaiti colleges and universities. The core constructs were operationalized using scales validated in previous studies. The hypothesized relationships were tested using the structural equation modeling method. Our findings indicate that while female faculty are more proactive than men, males are innovative and risk-takers to some extent. Moreover, Ph.D. holders are more proactive and innovative than Master’s degree holders. The relationship between specialization and both innovativeness and risk-taking is significant only for business, but not for engineering. Teaching experience is more positively correlated with faculty proactivity. The number of scientific publications is negatively associated with faculty risk-taking propensity. Additionally, faculty who cumulated significant industry experience are proactive in identifying long-term opportunities and threats for their institutions. Having earned professional certifications is positively related to some aspects of innovativeness and proactivity. Finally, faculty who received their latest degree from a non-accredited institution are more active in realizing ideas at work.

“…Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore in depth how academic entrepreneurs leverage their strengths and use differentiated resources to promote the innovative performance of their companies. From the current literature, many studies on academic entrepreneurship focus on the interaction between academia and industry (Pandey & Pansera, 2020), founder experience (Wyrwich et al, 2022), entrepreneurial orientation (Wang, Cai et al, 2021), and the relationship between the research productivity and the performance of academic spin-offs (Bojko et al, 2021). Few scholars have examined the impact of academic founder identity on the innovation performance of spin-off firms, and even more so, there is a lack of in-depth analyses and tests of its mechanism.…”

Unraveling the nexus of academic founders and innovation performance: The suppression effect of ownership structure within Sci‐Tech enterprises

This paper aims to examine the influence of academic founders on firm innovation performance from the perspective of equity distribution in entrepreneurial teams. Based on the prospectus data of 466 science and technology enterprises that applied for registration on the STAR Market from 2016 to 2020, we use textual analysis to classify founder identities into academic founder, technical founder, and business founder. Our results show that the performance of technical innovation in Sci‐Tech enterprises is optimal for academic founder‐led firms, followed by technical founders, and finally business founders. Ownership structure suppresses the positive direct relationship between the academic founder and innovation performance.
