New Developments in Technology Management Education: Background Issues, Program Initiatives, and a Research Agenda.

The internationalization of science and its influence on academic entrepreneurship

“…From the perspective of scientific institutions, researchers with different educational background and origin may complement each other while jointly working on research projects (Mahroum 2000;Phan et al 2009). Such knowledge exchange is conjectured to stimulate diversity and creativity, which may lead to innovative and creative ideas (Fleming et al 2007).…”

Navigating a Sea of Change: Identity Misalignment and Adaptation in Academic Entrepreneurship

“…Some might argue that faculty can ignore the new commercialization pathway in the weak form with little adverse effect. While this may be the case in some instances, prior research documents that even very small strides in adding commercialization mechanisms (e.g., establishing a tech transfer office) alert faculty that conditions are changing and trigger cultural shifts (Kenney & Patton, 2009;Phan, Siegel, & Wright, 2009). Given the wide range of universities that have taken steps to create commercialization support mechanisms (Fini, Grimaldi, & Sobrero, 2009), the research suggests that it will become increasingly difficult for university faculty (research scientists) to simply ignore commercialization and receive the same outcomes.…”

Employee Engagement and Internal Communication : A United Arab Emirates Study

“…Lustig and Koester (1999) have posited, "People from different cultures whenever the degree of difference between them is sufficiently large and important that it creates dissmilar interpretations and expectations about what are regarded as competent communication behaviours (p. 58). Research also confirmed that when interactants have "different paradigms, norms, standards, and values", they have different cultures (Phan, Siegel, & Wright, 2009;p. 331).…”
