Knowledge Creates Markets: The influence of entrepreneurial support and patent rights on academic entrepreneurship

“…Lockett and Wright (2005) added TTO business development capabilities as a further factor. The development of these capabilities depends on the experience and skill level of the TTO staff (see Grimaldi et al (2011) and the literature reviews by Rothameral et al (2007), O'Shea et al (2008), Bradley et al (2013) and Kochenkova et al, 2016).…”

“To have and have not”: founders’ human capital and university start-up survival

“…Firms spun-off by universities are usually founded by academics with the objective of exploiting distinctive technologies created at the parent university, which are then transferred to the spin-off company (Vohora et al 2004;O'Shea et al 2008). Nevertheless, these types of companies tend to be heterogeneous (Mustar et al 2006) as one of the two key dimensions (i.e.…”

“…1 This understanding is sustained by recent state-of-the-art literature surveys on academic entrepreneurship and on research-based spin-off companies (Helm and Mauroner 2007;Rothaermel et al 2007;Djokovic and Souitaris 2008;O'Shea et al 2008) where no studies that assess the relationship between founders' human capital and firm survival are found.…”

Entry by research-based spin-offs: the determinants of regional variation

“…RBSOs have become an important subject of study, both due to their crucial role as technology transfer mechanisms and to their economic impact, not only on the parent university but also on regional and national economic development (Fini et al, 2011;Mustar et al, 2006;O´Shea et al, 2008;Wright et al, 2007). In fact, according to the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM 2001), between 1980 and 1999, RBSOs from American academic institutions have contributed 280,000 jobs to the US economy and $33.5 billion in economic value-added activity (Shane, 2004).…”
