The impact of Triple Helix agents on entrepreneurial innovations' performance: An inside look at enterprises located in an emerging economy

Determinants of Graduates' Start-Ups Creation across a Multi-Campus Entrepreneurial University: The Case of Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education

“…Environmental factors influence individual decisions. Within the university context, entrepreneurial activity is affected by both formal (educational programs and support mechanisms, among others) and informal factors (favorable entrepreneurial attitudes and positive role models, among others) (Guerrero and Urbano 2012). In this section, we focus on the role of support mechanisms such as incubators, research parks, and accelerators in the creation of start-ups by graduates.…”

“…Nevertheless, extant studies also recognized that a lower percentage of graduates and students are involved in the creation of science-based ventures but that founders of such start-ups are drawn from faculty or graduates (Smilor, Gibson, and Dietrich 1990). A plausible explanation is associated to the university's nature (public/private) and scope (broad/ technologic) that delimitate the identification and generation of innovative opportunities (Guerrero and Urbano 2012). Even those tendencies, authors such as Koh, Koh, and Tschang (2005) and McAdam and McAdam (2008) have identified several patterns of universities science parks located in very well-developed entrepreneurship/innovation ecosystems and that collaborate with external agents to fostering graduates' science based or technological initiatives (e.g., Cambridge, Hungry, Silicon Valley, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Western Australia, etc.).…”

“…Every region and country has entrepreneurially oriented individuals and organizations characterized by innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking behavior (Antoncic and Hisrich 2001;Armington and Acs 2002;Parker 2011). Noteworthy among existing organizations that have changed into fertile, knowledge-intensive environments oriented toward entrepreneurship are universities (Audretsch 2014), which provide graduates with various employment alternatives such as becoming self-employed (entrepreneurs) or entrepreneurial employees (intrapreneurs) (Guerrero and Urbano 2012). In this regard, entrepreneurial universities invest resources and develop capabilities to generate the necessary infrastructures, mechanisms, and programs to support the exploration and/or exploitation of entrepreneurial ideas by the university community 1 (Grimaldi and Grandi 2005;Guerrero, Cunningham, and Urbano 2015;Wright 2007).…”

Empirical Studies on Innovation Performance in the Manufacturing and Service Sectors Since 1995: A Systematic Review

“…The research by Thongpapanl (2012) provides an up-to-date ranking of the top-innovation speciality journals using citations from the articles published in top innovation journals. Given the large amount of research on firm innovation performance, the present review is constrained by strict temporal horizons; it starts with the work of Harabi (1995) and ends with the recent work of Guerrero and Urbano (2016). In terms of number of citations and strong economic perspective, Research Policy, Technovation and Technological Forecasting and Social Change are the most prestigious target journals (see (Thongpapanl, 2012) for more details).…”

Effective International Knowledge Exchange to Rehabilitate Rivers in Urban Delta’s with RDM approach

“…The Port of Rotterdam in which the RDM campus is located is a strong supporter of new innovate networks to enhance sustainability in Rotterdam's City Ports Area [14]. The research 'The impact of Triple Helix agents on entrepreneurial innovations'performance' [15] concludes that the positive effects of government subsidies is only evidenced when enterprises collaborate with universities.…”
