Structuration aspects in academic spin-off emergence: A roadmap-based analysis

Structuring the Technology Entrepreneurship publication landscape: Making sense out of chaos

“…Indeed both physical and social science researchers' are publishing in this field. A greater number of researchers are embracing TE with an ever more diverse academic background embracing topics such as incubation (Said et al, 2012;Sonne, 2012;Harms et al, 2010), academic spin offs (Freitas et al, 2013;Bathelt et al, 2010), research facility spin offs (Chang, 1992), entrepreneurial product development (Dowling & Helm, 2006), IP protection (Kidwell, 2013), entrepreneurship and emerging technology (Thukral et al, 2008), entrepreneurial competence development (Linstone, 2011), open innovation consortia and entrepreneurship (Allarakhia & Walsh, 2011), high technology opportunities for emerging and established economies (Romig et al, 2007), TE and family business (Kraus et al, 2011) and many more.…”

Determinants of growth in research spin-offs: a resource-based perspective

“…Despite the recent advancements in understanding RSOs' structure and main characteristics (Mustar et al, 2008;Freitas et al, 2013;Fryges, Wright, 2014;De Cleyn, Festel, 2016), and the numerous attempts to explain the influence of RSOs' structure on their early growth (Mustar, 1997;Heirman, Clarysse 2004;Chapman et al, 2011;Visintin, Pittino, 2014;Hayter, 2016;Ferri et al, 2019) their development paths are still relatively unexplored. As shown by Greiner (1972;1998), specific phases of evolution (growth) and revolution (crisis) characterise organisations' development, each connected with specific organizational practices and managerial problems.…”

An innovative application of event structure analysis (ESA)

“…the answer to the question) in specific and general aspects that apply to the connection being assessed. In other words, researchers must base their answers on specificities of the case and on evidence of comparable cases, relevant theories or other logical or common-sense generalizations [6 , 7 , 12 , 14 , 18 , 30] . This interaction between the particular and the general in the justification of causal interpretation is considered the essential component for the possibility of an effective historical explanation [18 , 19 , 30] and was, therefore, the focus of the authors in the attempt to respond to the implicative and counterfactual questions.…”
