“…Prior to the implementation of fsQCA, researchers convert all variables into sets. A set represents the degree of membership in a specific category/condition (Berbegal-Mirabent et al, 2015;Woodside, 2013). FsQCA enables researchers to test for fuzzy-set membership in an outcome condition for all possible combinations of the antecedent factors (for a detailed exposition of the technique, see Skarmeas et al, 2014).…”

This study draws on the resource-based, dynamic capabilities, and organization learning theories to investigate the internal mechanisms through which intrapreneurship influences current and future export performance. Specifically, this approach views the four distinct dimensions of intrapreneurship, namely new business venturing, innovativeness, self-renewal, and proactiveness, as critical resources, and export market exploitation and exploration as important market learning capabilities. The study posits that such resources and capabilities collectively contribute to improve export performance outcomes. The study develops a theoretically anchored model and employs both structural equation modelling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to test the model relationships. These two techniques have different foci: the net effect of an independent variable on an outcome variable and the conditions that lead to a given outcome, respectively. The study results provide substantial support for the theoretical framework and a valuable addition to the scant literature on the roles of intrapreneurship and market exploitation and exploration in exporting.

“…In order to compare scholars focusing on either pure basic or pure applied research with those balancing between research and application, we focus on a sample of scholars from the natural sciences and engineering working at three leading European Universities of Sciences. These scholars are arguably particularly attractive partners for technology transfer (Berbegal-Mirabent et al 2015) and hence, should yield enough ambidextrous scholars to juxtapose the supposed trade-offs.…”

Balancing act between research and application: how research orientation and networks affect scholars’ academic and commercial output

Scholars' balancing act between research and application leads to trade-offs between commercial and research output. Yet what some scholars may consider as poles apart might lead to super-additive outcomes for others. Based on a survey carried out at three leading European universities of technology we investigate the influence of scholars' research orientation and networks on their output productivity. Our results point to a very specific group of ambidextrous scholars that is comparatively small. The scholars in this group are able to successfully balance research and application. In contrast, all scholars focusing on either pure basic or pure applied research face a trade-off between publications and innovations. In general, our findings suggest that the output productivity of all scholars is the higher the better their research orientation fits with their network activities. In particular, ambidextrous scholars rely on effectively accessing and utilizing their network to increase commercial and research output.

“…In this model the spin-out company is created with no core propriety technology on, so the company is launched to generate revenue for the development of internal research and development (R&D) infrastructure, which will then lead to new marketable inventions. In recent times, Berbegal-Mirabent et al (2015) looked at factors that explain the creation of university spin-out companies by focusing on mechanisms that technology transfer offices (TTOs) and universities employ. These mechanisms include technology transfer activities that support spin-outs, normative frameworks, support infrastructures such as business incubators and science parks.…”

Technology commercialisation using spin-out companies has shown to be a viable option by publicly financed research and development (R&D) institutions internationally. In South Africa (SA) this trend of spin-out company creation for technology commercialisation is anticipated to be on the rise since the inception of the Intellectual Property Rights from Publicly Financed Research and Development Act number 51 of 2008 (IPR-PFRD Act). This study aimed at trying to understand the factors that influence the successful creation of spin-out companies by SA publicly financed R&D institutions, utilising the RBV as the main theoretical framework. A survey questionnaire was distributed using a purposive sample approach to 49 key individuals (technology transfer professionals) who have been involved in spin-out creation in the past and the response was received from 17 respondents. A mixed methods research methodology was utilised and the data was presented using descriptive statistics and narration. The results of the data indicate a similar pattern to international trends and in some instances unique resource combinations that are relevant to SA. Questionnaire:The data collection instrument consisted of questions (open-ended and close-ended) assessing different aspects relating to respondents deemed success factors in the spin-out company creations
