“…The force of these competing pressures is evident in the discussions, comments, and decisions of committee members. Our findings shed light on the complex nature of ethical decision-making in an institutional context in which competing norms and values co-exist [17,18].…”

Despite a decade of federal regulation and debate over the appropriateness of financial ties in research and their management, little is known about the actual decision-making processes of university conflict of interest (COI) committees. This paper analyzes in detail the discussions and decisions of three COI committees at three public universities in California. University committee members struggle to understand complex financial relationships and reconcile institutional, state, and federal policies and at the same time work to protect the integrity of the scientific process, the autonomy and intellectual freedom of their faculty colleagues and students, and the financial interests of the university.

“…Other generic aspects may also be considered in that framework for further analysis: conflicts of interest and the university-industry linkages based on work by Etzkowitz (1996), patenting patterns and researchers' motivations based on work by Goktepe (2005Goktepe ( , 2006, the 'context' of creativity (Amabile, 1996), and the psychology of creativity (Guilford, 1950;Csikszentmihalyi, 1996). Theoretical and practical issues concerning the environment and the motivations of creativity within specific organisations (Amabile, 1997;Amabile and Conti, 1999); creativity through entrepreneurship and innovation (Clark, 1998;Formica and Sanz, 2002;Bellavista, 2002); and the interactive learning processes in the context of the national and regional innovation systems (Lundvall, 1992, Lundvall andJohnson, 1994;Bellavista and Renobell, 1999;Cooke, 2001;Rubiralta and Bellavista, 2003;Etzkowitz and Klofsten, 2005;Sanz, 2005Sanz, , 2007.…”

This introductory paper explores a number of topics on creativity and innovation discussed at the IASP World Conference held in Barcelona in 2007. The papers selected for this special issue are introduced, and theoretical and methodological approaches related to creativity and innovation are discussed. The fundamentals, strategies, statistics, programs and networking variables concerning worldwide science and technology (S&T) parks are considered. The paper stresses the impact of the array of knowledge sources. It also analyses the role of the powerful, tangible and intangible assets of the existing S&T parks as well as the management of the many agents active in organised network structures.

“…That research found similarities between economic entrepreneurs and academic scientists. For example, Etzkowitz (1996, 2003) found that academic scientists and economic entrepreneurs were motivated to produce knowledge by their desire to compete for economic resources to create their products. Another study by Sinell et al (2015) found that both academic scientists and economic entrepreneurs have a desire to “realize their own ideas.” In practice, this means that academic scientists and economic entrepreneurs value having the autonomy to be innovative and creative.…”

Optimism, Innovativeness, and Competitiveness: The Relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientations and the Development of Science Identity in Scientists

We contend that the work scientists do is entrepreneurial because they are in the business of discovering, evaluating, and exploiting opportunities to create new knowledge. In this article, we examine the relationship between Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) scholars’ holdings of traits associated with entrepreneurial activity and the degree to which these scientists consider being a scientist important to their sense of self. In particular, we argue that optimism, an innovative mindset, and competitiveness should be associated, positively, with STEM scholars’ science identity. Our results, based on a survey of 215 postdoctoral trainees in STEM disciplines, show that the more academic scientists have of each entrepreneurial disposition, the greater their science identity centrality.
