“…However, both policymakers and society are now more watchful of these practices (Gur, 2020), bringing both top-down (regulation and restricting funding opportunities) (Genus & Stirling, 2018;Voegtllin & Scherer, 2015) and bottom-up (demand) incentives for companies to pursue responsible innovation practices (Schlaile et al, 2017). Moreover, the aforementioned practices have to be aligned with society values and with Costa et al Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (2023) 12:25 innovation outputs (Gurzawska, 2021).…”

“…This multinomial variable measures the percentage of human capital, following the CIS scale indicated in Table 2. We expect this variable to positively impact innovation performance (Afzal et al, 2018;Colapinto & Porlezza, 2011;Farace & Mazzotta, 2015;Gur, 2020;Papa et al, 2018). The role of human capital in innovation performance is generally accepted by academics and commonly used as a control variable in studies using CIS data (Basit, 2021;Costa et al, 2021;Odei et al, 2021).…”

“…This implies a complete transformation of the Industry, transitioning into a circular economy by implementing processes and practices capable of using resources efficiently and reducing the environmental impact of the products and services (Grabowska et al, 2022). It is already possible to observe significant changes being put into place by various types of stakeholders (Gur, 2020), such as public entities/government bodies-the European Commission has already implemented several strategies to promote Industry 5.0 (Xu et al, 2021); research institutes/universities-Industry 5.0 is a subject undergoing intense study by academics with over 230 publications 1 since 2016; consumers/userscontribute to this transformation through their demand of sustainability-conscious and personalized products/services (Carayannis & Morawska-Jancelewicz, 2022). Therefore, firms must transform and adapt to this paradigm to successfully keep up with this demand and maintain their competitiveness (Wasono et al, 2019).…”

With Industry 5.0 already on the horizon, firms need to adapt their strategies to better cater to an increasingly demanding and sustainability-conscious customer base. At the same time, the role of customers has shifted from being mere passive buyers to active users, who not only demand personalized products and services to suit their needs and preferences, but also actively engage other users and stakeholders, thereby grounding the Quadruple Helix model. The objective of this paper is to assess the role of user communities in fostering firms’ innovation in all types of innovation. Econometric estimations identified the user community as a driver of innovation propensity. Additionally, the relevance of these communities across all types of innovation (mainly for product and process innovation) was proven. Robustness analysis confirmed the results obtained in different dimensions and established a connection to human capital. This finding revealed that absorptive capacity serves not only as a facilitator of innovation, but also as a moderator. The empirical contributions point towards the urgency of policy actions that consistently involve these agents as vehicles of responsible innovation, which can fine-tune the innovation paths towards an eco-friendlier innovation ecosystem. Further testing the connection between human capital and the user community is required, as the establishment of efficient communication channels promoting the knowledge flows inside the firm will leverage innovation outputs in the different innovation types.

“…The universities nowadays play a significant role in achieving long-term sustainability goals, by being a crucial element in the quintuple helix innovation model (De la Vega Hernández & Barcellos de Paula, 2019). More specifically, the role of entrepreneurial universities is visualized as transformative or as a "responsible facilitator" in the process of attaining these said goals (Gur, 2020). The economic impact of entrepreneurial universities manifests through three core activities, i.e., teaching, research, and entrepreneurship activities.…”

Research Question: This conceptual research explores the role that academic entrepreneurship can play in Middle Eastern countries in addressing the effects of COVID-19 pandemic in the region. Motivation: Entrepreneurial universities are pivotal in contemporary economic systems due to their significant contributions in innovation efforts. Part of their mission is seen in the commercialization of their scientific knowledge through the creation of spin-offs (Cvijic et al., 2019; O'shea et al., 2005; Rodrigues et al., 2019). The challenges and constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated the importance of coordinating the efforts of all parties including those of entrepreneurial universities in order to develop vaccines and generate healthcare solutions which could be patented and commercialized afterwards. Hence, this paper identifies the factors which can reinforce the entrepreneurial insertion of universities and increase their capacity in supporting collective efforts aiming at combatting the COVID-19 aftermath. Idea: Based on a review of recent literature, the purpose of this conceptual study is twofold: identify the predictors and the success factors of academic entrepreneurship; and argue for research propositions that could guide future empirical research. In addition, this paper provides insights into the current evolution of the entrepreneurial experiences of Middle Eastern universities. Data: This explorative research was based on an extensive literature review of the core aspects relevant to academic entrepreneurship. Recent references published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals with the primary focus on the Middle East or other developing economies were targeted in order to build up the conceptual model revolving around nine research propositions. Tools: Selected references were reviewed and categorized around the mainstream themes identified by the authors, i.e., impact of entrepreneurial universities, antecedents of academic entrepreneurship, and its success factors. For each block, several research propositions were derived and presented. Findings: The literature review findings argue for the potential role that specific factors can play in promoting the entrepreneurial engagement of Middle Eastern universities, namely the national institutional framework, an easy access to funding sources, the existence of interrelations with local organizations and the quality of the university’s organizational infrastructure. The conceptual framework assumes also that the performance of entrepreneurial universities would depend on the number and quality of relationships with the industry, the support of venture capitalists and the intensity of their entrepreneurial and market orientations. Contribution: This research contributes essentially in underlining the growing importance of academic entrepreneurship and how it can be a rewarding choice for Middle Eastern policy makers.
