“…Studies on AE and research commercialization have become so manifold and frequent that recent review articles (Bozeman et al 2013;Djokovic and Souitaris 2008;Hagedoorn et al 2000;Markman et al 2008;Meyers and Pruthi 2011;Perkmann et al 2013;Schmitz et al 2017) had a challenging task to bring all the insights together. We will not attempt to repeat these efforts, but focus on those relevant for understanding the agency of scientific entrepreneurs in interaction with their institutional environment.…”

In this article, we aim to explore the agency of scientific entrepreneurs and research managers in shaping their Triple Helix contexts. Drawing on institutional documents and in-depth interviews with research managers and scientists in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the study shows that trust in scientific entrepreneurs from research managers, their scientific standing and leadership, and type of academic entrepreneurship are central in shaping the Triple Helix relationships. Research managers frame themselves as passive service-providers for scientists' commercialization activities while scientists see them as facilitating creative employment arrangements. Research managers perceive scientists as self-motivated highly creative risk-takers. The studied scientific entrepreneurs negotiate their institutional arrangements and find flexible solutions for the structural barriers within their research organisations. At the same time, they tend to avoid taking personal risks when it comes to contractual arrangements and their careers. The study identifies two types of agency exerted to shape the Triple Helix context-bricolage and institutional entrepreneurship. Bricolage activities and the trust of research managers in the leadership and autonomy of scientific entrepreneurs prepare the basis for institutional change. This can be the ground for institutional entrepreneurship to take place and reshape the Triple Helix relationships in the particular context.

“…They expressed that expending research budget on researches that were not to be applicable and help the country solve any problem, is of no significance, a situation referred to as valley of death for research. There was consensus on these facts: there are no adequate research budgets and grants while private sector is so weak, purposeful and applied researches are rare, commercialization underpinned no structured and organized system, communications in/outside the sector and international ones dose not fulfill the requisites, entrepreneurial facilitations and knowledge is shortcoming and cultural basis is lacking [19]. Amendment and revision in policies, regulation and organizational management, as the most critical issue expressed, in relating grounds such as research, communications, entrepreneurial and commercialization procedures must be considered [20].…”

BackgroundThe objective of this study was to investigate the application of the university research findings or commercialization of the biopharmaceutical knowledge in Iran and determine the challenges and propose some solutions.ResultsA qualitative study including 19 in-depth interviews with experts was performed in 2011 and early 2012. National Innovation System (NIS) model was employed as the study design. Thematic method was applied for the analysis. The results demonstrate that policy making, regulations and management development are considered as fundamental reasons for current commercialization practice pattern. It is suggested to establish foundation for higher level documents that would involve relating bodies and provide them operational guidelines for the implementation of commercialization incentives.ConclusionsPolicy, regulations and management as the most influential issue should be considered for successful commercialization. The present study, for the first time, attempts to disclose the importance of evidence input for measures in order to facilitate the commercialization process by the authorities in Iran. Overall, the NIS model should be considered and utilized as one of the effective solutions for commercialization.

“…The further development of the concept of an entrepreneurial university has raised the awareness about the role of entrepreneurship infrastructure and entrepreneurial education at the entrepreneurial university (Meyers, Pruthi, 2011) as it is partly presented in Table 1. The table is also generalizing the authors' interpretation on the usage of the concept for culture/art/design colleges.…”

The entrepreneurial role of the culture or art college in the Triple helix (Academia-Industry-Government) linkages has been examined much less than of a traditional university. The paper aims to fulfill the gap in understanding the mission and the model of a university culture college carrying partly a regional partly a national role. Two case studies were used for mapping the main factors affecting entrepreneurial development by the Viljandi Culture Academy in Estonia and the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle, Germany. Keywords: entrepreneurial art/culture college, entrepreneurship training, entrepreneurial ecosystem, creative industries, copyright.Antreprenerystė kultūros arba meninės pakraipos aukštosiose mokyklose yra mažai nagrinėtas reiškinys. Autoriai analizuoja būtent šių mokyklų verslumo vaidmenį trigubos spiralės modelyje (Mokslas -Pramonė -Valstybė) (angl. Triple helix model), kadangi tradicinio universiteto vaidmuo minėtame modelyje yra plačiai aptartas. Universitetų aukštosios mokyklos iš dalies atlieka regioninį, iš dalies ir nacionalinį vaidmenį, todėl svarbu išsiaiškinti jų misiją ir modelį. Autoriai, norėdami išskirti pagrindinius veiksnius, įtakojančius antreprenerystės plėtojimą kūrybinės pakraipos aukštosiose mokyklose, straipsnyje pristato dviejų mokyklų atvejo analizes: Viljandi Culture Academy (Estija) ir Burg University of Art and Design (BGU) (Vokietija). Raktiniai žodžiai: antrepreneriškos meno/kultūros aukštosios mokyklos, antreprenerystės ugdymas, antrepreneriška ekosistema, kūrybinės industrijos, autorinės teisės.
