“…Therefore, this study identifies GNPU as an important organisational resource (Kondo 2003;Zou and Zhao 2014). Unfortunately, few studies examined the moderating effects of GNPU on the relationship between EO and SP in the context of China's academic entrepreneurship.…”

The aim of this study is to examine the roles of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and the guanxi network with parent university (GNPU) in the creation of university spin-offs (USOs). The study replicates and extends previous research on academic entrepreneurship by providing an empirical analysis using data from 140 USOs in China. The empirical results indicate that three dimensions of EO (innovativeness: IN; proactiveness: PR; and risk-taking: RT) and GNPU have positive effects on the financial performance (FP); PR, RT, and GNPU have positive effects on non-financial performance (NFP) of USOs. In the context of moderating effects, this study finds that only GNPU positively moderates the relationships between IN and FP as well as between PR and NFP, failing to find others. Generally speaking, EO is an important strategic asset and GNPU is an important organisational resource that underpin the establishment of USOs. In addition, we also provide some important theoretical and practical implications for scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers.

“…It cannot be denied that it is of critical difficulty to conduct in--depth interviews with company owners in China. This is evidenced in the recent research on science parks in China, which adopted a case study methodology while was based purely on secondary data analysis (Huang et al, 2013;Tan, 2006;Zou and Zhao, 2014;Zhou, 2009). …”

The emergence of science parks is a relatively new phenomenon in China. Apart from the widely debated topics of university--industry linkages, collaboration among firms and spontaneous/policy--driven science parks, the development of science parks in China also has several distinguishing characteristics, such as their ambiguous linkage with urban expansion and their hierarchical structuring pattern. This paper attempts to discuss the motivation and efficiency of spatial proximity in science park development and to explore the role of universities in science parks, the function of science parks as a government project and a case study of location choice by on--site firms. The qualitative analysis, based on in--depth interviews with tenant firm managers and district--level government officers in Jiangning, Nanjing, is used as a basis for discussion.

“…In addition, Tsinghua supports research directed toward addressing environmental issues more broadly, including drafting the nation's Basic Law of Energy. Tsinghua's green research program has produced significant results; since 1998, when the green university concept was first proposed, Tsinghua has carried out 280 key national-level projects and acquired more than 300 sustainability-related patents [47].…”

It is widely accepted that universities can play critical roles in promoting sustainability. In the United States and China, many universities have initiated sustainability programs. Employing Indiana University, Bloomington, the U.S. (IUB) and Tsinghua University, Beijing, China (Tsinghua) as two cases, we examine the conceptualization and implementation of university sustainability programs through a comparison of their respective definitions, goals, organizational dynamics, and strategies. We find that IUB's sustainability scheme is more detailed and specific, while Tsinghua's is more general; this is principally attributable to differences in national and local contexts. Furthermore, IUB values the environmental, economic, and social aspects of university sustainability equally, while Tsinghua focuses more on the environmental aspect. In addition, IUB has a more loosely-structured and more inclusive sustainability organizational dynamic while Tsinghua has a more hierarchical one. This comparative study helps us to understand how these two research universities understand and implement sustainability within the respective cultural, political, and institutional contexts of the United States and China.
