“…Singapore followed a "top-down, strategically planned vertical targeted" development approach and Israel "horizontal targeting where prioritisation results from the on-going identification of specific market failures in sectors with high growth potential". Uctu and Jafta (2012) contributed evidence from Hong Kong which indicated the integrated role of academia and bio-entrepreneurial spinoffs. The majority of these spinoffs are small, undeveloped and managed by academics with critical constraints, including a lack of product demand and technical issues with physical product development.…”

Objective: This paper investigates the correlation and contact points between entrepreneurship as a discipline and the profession of audiology. The research focuses on specific areas of entrepreneurship (e.g. innovation as an entrepreneurial skill) and the impact it has on audiology private practices as key role players in the biotechnology industry.Design: This study used a two-stage research design comprising of an exploratory study and a formal study to survey the entrepreneurial and business skills of audiologists as entrepreneurs in private practice. Findings:The findings describe severe deficiencies -specifically the business and entrepreneurial skill sets of the professional audiologist as an entrepreneur. The mind-set of the audiologist is not that of an entrepreneur, but rather of a small business owner. A lack of self-confidence to be creative, take risks, and identify new opportunities or innovate in terms of products, process and services was found. Audiologists are not necessarily concerned about the creation of employment, or the growth and profitability of their practices. Autonomy and security are the primary objectives of most practice owners.

“… Iorio et al (2017) emphasized that this is a kind of prosocial motivation, which aims to expand the research mission of universities, promote regional and social development, and satisfy the desire to be useful to society. Chiesa and Piccaluga (2000) ; Uctu and Jafta (2012) jointly pointed out that scholars’ motivation to establish derivative enterprises is to apply their results to practice. In addition, van de Burgwal et al (2019) believed that ribbon motivation is a kind of professional motivation, which involves the ability of scholars to provide employment opportunities for peers or students.…”

Big Five Personality, Academic Entrepreneurial Motivation, and Academic Entrepreneurial Intention: A Research Method Based on Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Scholars are the main force behind academic entrepreneurship. The method of how to stimulate scholars’ academic entrepreneurial intention and how to further promote social and economic development are important questions for the academic community. Research on the “net effect” of the factors affecting academic entrepreneurial intention has achieved some theoretical results. However, the results that affect academic entrepreneurial intention are complex and not influenced by a single factor, but rather by the interaction between various factors. Therefore, this study used a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis research method to explore how various factors can affect scholars’ academic entrepreneurial intention from two dimensions: the Big Five personality traits and academic entrepreneurial motivation. Our findings showed two configurations that affect high academic entrepreneurial intention of university scholars: the openness to experience—ribbon—dominant path, and the ribbon—dominant path. Additionally, two configurations were revealed for the formation of not-high academic entrepreneurial intention: extraversion—conscientiousness—inhibition and extraversion—agreeableness—gold—hindrance paths. Moreover, this study revealed that a causal asymmetry exists between the high and the not-high academic entrepreneurial intention configurations. This study broadens the application of the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method in the research of academic entrepreneurial intention and provides theoretical and practical insights for researchers and practitioners on how to effectively stimulate scholars’ academic entrepreneurial intention.

“…The knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship emphasises the importance of university spinoffs as a mechanism for exploiting knowledge and scientific discoveries created by academic researchers (Carree et al 2014;Audretsch and Lehmann, 2005). According to Uctu and Jafta (2012) there is no universally accepted definition of university spinouts in the literature. They are sometimes referred to as academic spin-offs (Ndonzuau et al, 2002), and spin-outs (Smilor et al, 1990).…”

Spinning Out of Control? How Academic Spinoff Formation Overlooks Medical Device Regulations

This paper investigates the impact of the medical device regulatory framework on the academic spinoff formation process and contributes to knowledge in the domain by expanding and deepening our understanding of its underlying routines and capabilities. A detailed case study focusing on academic spinoff formation in the Irish medical device industry was conducted and found that the consideration given to the medical device regulatory framework significantly lags behind that given to other commercialisation activities. This trend has potential to both significantly delay spinoff formation and negatively impact its potential success and survival. Findings indicate that incorporating expert regulatory knowledge earlier within the process may enhance the spinoff activities within universities, particularly funding, research and capital investment.
