“…For example, most of the research and development (R&D) that created Japan's service robot industry was performed by large companies (Lechevalier et al, 2014). Similarly, entrepreneurs in Japan's biopharmaceutical industry tended to have worked previously in large companies rather than public or university research institutes (Jolivet et al, 2009). A study of Korea's entrepreneurial ecosystem identified weak private support infrastructure and unsupportive immigration policies as major challenges (Kshetri, 2014).…”

New venture entrepreneurship and context in East Asia: a systematic literature review

et al. 2021

While research on new venture entrepreneurship has been predominantly conducted in Western countries, East Asian start-ups have gained global relevance in recent years. In this article, we systematically review studies on new venture entrepreneurship in East Asia published in Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)-listed journals between 2000 and 2020 and find that the number of papers annually published has been rapidly increasing. However, the research body is highly unbalanced, as most articles are single-country studies focused on China, apply a quantitative methodology, and concentrate on topics such as entrepreneurial strategies and new venture entrepreneurs’ personal attributes and networks. Moreover, a majority of studies provides no or only a weak consideration of the national or subnational context. More strongly contextualized research on countries such as Japan and South Korea and on less studied themes such as culture, entrepreneurial financing, entrepreneurial teams, new venture internationalization and new venture entrepreneurial intention is desirable.

“…Entrepreneurship is meant mainly as "institutional entrepreneurship" and "high-technology entrepreneurship". In the first notion, the innovation-oriented initiatives are carried out, thanks to the support of national institutions, especially when low-risk strategies can be implemented (DiVito, 2012); in the second notion, innovation is related to the availability of high-level technologies, so the role of research and research institutes is crucial in favoring the emergence of factors representing a specific -and geographical -context (Niosi and Banik, 2005;Jolivet et al, 2009). …”

In recent years, there has been a growing debate on the contributions to innovation contexts. This research aims to analyze the differences emerging from the conceptualization of contexts in the "innovation ecosystem" (IE) and its linkages to the innovation system (IS) and network concepts and depict the current research trends in innovation and their expected evolution.Our methodological choice is a bibliometric analysis as it allows us to review and focus on the theoretical proposals by the scholars in detail. The research process has been conducted through a co-word analysis on the authors' keywords as this approach is considered to be the most suitable to compare the dynamics of different research trends on a specific topic. The analysis was performed in two steps: the first based on all the research papers collected and the second based on a sub-dataset extrapolated from the main datasets on IS and innovation network (IN

“…This central role of public research in the development of the biotech industry was already emphasized by Zucker et al (1998), who showed that in the US during the early days of the biotech industry, there was a very positive correlation among the local presence of a university and the development of biotech start-ups. However, this huge reliance on public research sector to play a crucial role in the biotech start-ups seems to be more European and US matter, while in Japan a lot of bio-tech start-ups are intrapreneurial ventures mostly from pharmaceutical companies (Jolivet, Lanciano-Morandat, Nohara, & Pardo, 2009).…”

Development Perspectives of Bio-Tech Entrepreneurship: The Case of Slovenia

The development perspectives of the bio-tech entrepreneurship in Slovenia are examined in the paper. The main research question is to examine the conditions for fundaments of wider expansion of this particular industry in Slovenia. Due to a small extent of the industry a qualitative research methodological approach seemed appropriate.Eight companies were interviewed with the objective to reveal the main characteristics of the entrepreneurial ventures established on the basis of science and research driven ambitions of founders who managed to encompass their personal and professional development trails with entrepreneurial paths. There are several peculiarities found in this particular qualitative research which goes along with the literature survey. On the other side, there are some characteristics which may not be regarded as usual in the field of bio-tech entrepreneurship: majority of companies are not spin-offs in are not based on public-funded research, they do not rely on venture capital and seem not to have a very distinguished business model. Half of companies are located in incubators or tech-parks. Participants in the study share similar opinion regarding the support policy of the government. On the other hand, majority of entrepreneurs come from public research institutions not exactly being entrepreneurial from the viewpoint of being profitable but rather in a way, that there is a belief that in private companies they may generally have more flexibility and broader financing opportunities. The understanding of importance of marketing, building on social capital and risk-awareness still seem to be neglected factors among bio-tech entrepreneurs. Still, high level of reliance on public finance, mostly on different EU-sponsored programs can be recognized from the opinions of study participants.
