“…Intense collaboration relationships between countries are relevant because they may result in patents, may lead to more relationships in the future, and may therefore increase the level of social capital of the countries involved (Alonso-Martínez 2018). Also, IPC may lead to the creation of new firms based on a previous successful relationship that provides the initial framework (Somaya and Teece 2008;Goel and Saunoris 2017;Son et al 2019). In addition, as a consequence of the patents generated, sometimes, the new ventures focus on high-technology industries (Helmers and Rogers 2011), which are particularly relevant for countries' wealth and for improving their environmental conditions.…”

“…Intellectual property rights may enhance entrepreneurial actions through direct and indirect channels, as illustrated by Goel and Saunoris (2017, p. 701). Directly, patents may induce entrepreneurship by creating spin-offs, with the actors involved becoming entrepreneurs themselves or choosing to cash in on their inventions by licensing production to others (Somaya and Teece 2008;Son et al 2019). Indirectly, knowledge embedded in patents may spill over to other entrepreneurs (Mansfield 1985;Griliches 1992;Goel and Saunoris 2017).…”

Does international patent collaboration have an effect on entrepreneurship?

Entrepreneurship is one of the main pillars of growth in any economy. Achieving a high rate of entrepreneurship in a region has become the priority objective of governments and firms. However, in many cases, new firm creation is conditioned by relations or collaboration in innovation with agents from other countries. Previous literature has analyzed the mechanisms that foster entrepreneurship. This paper attempts to shed light on the influence of international patent collaboration (IPC) on entrepreneurial activity at country level taking into account the timing of this relationship. An empirical study is proposed to verify whether IPC leads to greater entrepreneurship and to analyze the gestation period between international patenting actions and firm creation. Using the Generalized Method of Moments, the two hypotheses proposed were tested in a data panel of 30 countries for the period 2005–2017. Results show the influence of IPC in promoting entrepreneurship in the same year, but especially in the following year. The study offers implications for entrepreneurs and public agents. IPC affects the integration and interaction of international agents in a country, favors the production of new knowledge, and increases positive externalities in a territory. All this facilitates the creation of new companies with a high innovative component.

“…In fact, none of the UIC performance indicators obtained from the interviews related to commercialisation and revenue generation. The latter insight is not in line with the top UIC performance indicators obtained from the literature, such as the number of generated start-ups and spinoffs [40], the number of and income from IP sales [65], and the amount of external funds to research projects [21]. Therefore, a deeper look into the motives and drivers of the QNRS [11] is worth further investigation.…”

A Review and Comprehensive Analysis of the Performance of University – Construction Industry Collaboration

University–construction industry collaboration (UIC) has become an essential part of driving innovation and fostering construction industry growth. Measuring the performance of such collaboration is an emergent field of study that is scattered through the current literature. This study aims to identify the UIC performance indicators advocated by the top-cited references, and map UIC performance indicators in the context of the state of Qatar. The present research evaluated the literature related to measuring the performance of UIC, considering publications in selected scientific databases over the period of 2004 – 2020. The publications were obtained through a search of the Science Direct, Emerald Insight, Scopus, Web of Science, Springer Link, SAGE, Research Gate, and Taylor & Francis Online databases. Keywords used in searching for publications included university, construction industry, business, cooperation, collaboration, relation, performance, and measurement. The findings were discussed and confirmed in the context of Qatar’s education and innovation ecosystem through semi-structured interviews with two renowned scholars who are involved in UIC. The study revealed that both universities and the construction industry are increasingly focused on measuring the performance of collaboration through specific performance indicators. The results show that both universities and the construction industry share some interests when it comes to four key performance indicators. These performance indicators are (1) the number of registered patents, (2) the number of patent applications, (3) the number of innovations (process/marketing/product/organisational), and (4) the number of publications. This study contributes to a general understanding of measuring UIC performance and defining trends in this research field. It also highlights research limitations and provides an arena for future research in the field. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091688 Full Text: PDF

“…The concept of technology entrepreneurship has many definitions described in the literature [47][48][49][50]. Technology entrepreneurship exists when a new development in science and/or engineering constitutes a core element of the opportunity that can enable the emergence of new market, cluster, venture or industry [51][52][53]. The new development may lead to a new business model based on first-mover advantages, network effects, technical standards and declining costs [54,55].…”

This article’s aim is to explain the impact of technology entrepreneurship phenomenon on waste management enterprise performance in the conditions of COVID-19 pandemic. The concept of technology entrepreneurship according to the configuration approach and the category of high-performance organization are the theoretical bases of empirical investigation. For the implementation of empirical research, Fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (FsQCA) was adopted. The research sample included a group of producers of Refused Derived Fuel (RDF) as a central part of the waste to energy industry located in Poland. The research results showed that the waste to energy sector is highly immune to pandemic threats. While during COVID-19, the basic economic parameters (i.e., sales, profitability and employment) of the entire industry in Poland clearly decreased, the same parameters in the case of the waste to energy industry remained at the same level. The research results allow the formulation of two high-performance models of technology entrepreneurship in the waste to energy industry under COVID-19 conditions. The first model is based on traditional technologies and hierarchical organizational structures, and the second is using innovative technologies and flexible structures. Both technology entrepreneurship models are determined by their emergence as complementary to implementation strategies and the opportunity-oriented allocation of resources within business model portfolios.
