“…On the same note, CVM approach is usually applied in the valuation of projects that are related to environmental management such as water, energy and waste management (Geleto, 2011;World Bank, 2012). For example, unlike other methods, CVM is based on information that is provided by the people themselves, and these include current as well as future affected stakeholders (Perera et al, 2016). These stakeholders are asked about the valuation of particular services or goods under investigation through markets that are hypothetical to this end.…”

“…In fact, environmental planning, as well as decision making, continue to be complex in which objectives are usually exclusive, and tradeoffs have become inevitable like never before. Environmental valuation methods have been helping to facilitate the decisionmaking process regarding forests and other natural resources (Kerkhof et al, 2010;Tao et al, 2012;Perera et al, 2016). In many ways, the demand for environmental goods continues to be measured by analyzing peoples' expressed preferences for various natural resources relative to their demand for other goods and services (Kerkhof et al, 2010).…”

“…In many ways, the demand for environmental goods continues to be measured by analyzing peoples' expressed preferences for various natural resources relative to their demand for other goods and services (Kerkhof et al, 2010). Expressed preference techniques usually focus on involving individuals by asking them explicitly how much they value a wide range of environmental goods and services (Tao et al, 2012;Perera et al, 2016).…”

“…These various methods are used as tools for decision making (Kerkhof et al, 2010;Tao et al, 2012;Perera et al, 2016;Brander et al 2007). In this case, it is always beneficial if valuation methods consider core aspects that affect certain goods and services.…”

The objective of this paper was to give an overview of the expressed preference (EP) techniques of environmental valuation. These methods offer estimation of the value of a resource not necessarily willingness to pay (WTP) or willingness to Accept (WTA) compensation rather upper and lower values. The method of measuring individuals’ willingness to pay is usually based on contingent valuation method (CVM). This research focuses on defining, categorizing, and applicability of various environmental valuation techniques that have been and can be applied in attaching value to a given resource using expressed/Revealed preference methods. The study serves as a supplementary synthesis and discussion to the board of knowledge of resource valuation methods. More specifically, selected methods to discussed herein include; contingent valuation method, hedonic pricing model, travel cost method, trade-off game method, the costless-choice method, Delphi method, Replacement Cost Method, Relocation Cost Method, Opportunity cost method, and Cost-benefit Method. In the last part, applicability of the methods is fully illustrated to support future studies on resource valuation.

“…In the last few years, European societies have had to face major societal and environmental challenges [1][2][3][4]. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine have worsened existing problems, such as ageing populations, energy shortages, and climate change [1, 5,6]. In this context, universities have been recognized as essential agents in Europe's post-pandemic recovery for shaping resilient societies and sustainable economies [7].…”

Rethinking the Resources and Responsibilities of University Spin-Offs: Critical Factors in Times of Global Crisis

2022

In recent years, the promotion of university spin-offs has become a measure adopted by many European universities to facilitate the commercialization of new technologies and knowledge that can lead to more sustainable economies and societies. However, the effectiveness of university-based companies has also been questioned, as many of them are resource-constrained, remain small in size and struggle to consolidate once they leave the university context. This paper addresses two main research questions: what are the critical factors inhibiting the consolidation, performance, and sustainable development of university spin-offs at a mid-range European university, and which critical factors need to be addressed the most thoroughly by the university’s support programs in order to improve their efficiency? To answer these questions, we collected relevant information from a panel of experts and interviewed academic entrepreneurs from a public university in the South of Spain. The analytic hierarchy process was applied to identify and prioritize the critical factors and sub-factors encountered by the university-based companies. The results show that poor management is the biggest critical factor in the consolidation of the spin-offs. One implication, the findings of our study reveal, is the need for university administrators to improve support for university spin-offs in terms of managing the new business as opposed to prioritizing the difficulties associated with the launch. Another is the need to raise awareness among faculties of the importance of finding an appropriate balance between technical and managerial skills in order to improve the chances of entrepreneurial success.
