“…Lamberton, 2005, p. 162 defines mindset as a "habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations." Täks, Tynjälä, and Kukemelk (2016) suggest that an entrepreneurial mindset is related to such skills as the ability to identify opportunities, creative problemsolving, strategic thinking, networking, life-long learning, resilience to failures and decision-making in the situation of uncertainty.…”

“…Besides learning to understand and implement the standard core practices of phenomenography, researchers should make thoughtful, wellreasoned decisions regarding methodological options. This section describes two possible ways of conducting a phenomenographic analysis as a team endeavour, drawing on the authors' experiences (e.g., Kettunen et al, 2013Kettunen et al, , 2015aKettunen et al, , 2015bKettunen et al, , 2016Täks et al, 2016;Töytäri, et al, 2016). Table 1 includes an example of one way of presenting research outcomes to emphasise the distinctiveness of the approach.…”

“…Phenomenography is based on a second-order perspective, focusing on how phenomena are perceived by people, rather than on a firstorder perspective, in which someone attempts to describe phenomena 'as they are' (Marton, 1981). Phenomenography also recognises that individuals may have more than one conception of a particular phenomenon (Marton & Booth, 1997), and that their conceptions may change over time (e.g., Åkerlind, 2003;Paakkari, Tynjälä, Torppa, Villberg, & Kannas, 2016) or even in different contexts (e.g., Täks, Tynjälä & Kukemelk, 2016).…”

Jaana Kettunen is a researcher at the Finnish Institute for Educational Research of the University of Jyväskylä. Her research focuses on social media in career services. Recently she has also studied the ethical practice in social networking and the role of ICT in relation to national lifelong guidance policies. Päivi Tynjälä Applying Phenomenography in Guidance and Counselling ResearchThis paper examines phenomenography as a viable qualitative approach in guidance and counselling research. A phenomenographic study maps the qualitatively different ways in which people experience a specific phenomenon and helps researchers to describe the aspects that make one way of experiencing a certain phenomenon qualitatively distinct from another. This paper presents an overview of phenomenographic research, encompassing theoretical, methodological and practical considerations. The application of this approach in guidance and counselling studies is illustrated with examples.

“…18-21). The entrepreneurial qualities of academia could be a driving force towards economic development through job creations and new ventures (Täks, Tynjälä, & Kukemelk, 2015). However, there is currently no consistent mechanism for tracking the impact of commercialization although there is a significant flow of scientific knowledge sharing between universities and academia (Rubin, Aas, & Stead, 2015).…”

One effective way of accelerating the commercialization of university innovations (inventions) is to execute a "Technological Entrepreneurship" framework that helps the execution of agreements between universities and industry for commercialization. Academics have been encouraged to commercialize their research and findings yet the level of success of commercialization of inventions (innovations) in industry is questionable. As there is no agreed commercialization framework to guide the execution of processes to support inventions moving from laboratories to the right market. The lack of capabilities of appropriate processes have undermined the turning of innovation and products into wealth. The research questions are designed to identify the constraints and hindrances of commercialization and the characteristics of successful processes built from framework based on selected case studies of incubation capabilities within universities commercialization program.
