Policy orientation effects on performance with licensing to start-ups and small companies

The objective of this paper is to present evidence that there are different types of supportive faculty members. We conducted a case study on a sample of Croatian and Spanish universities by using an already tested ENTRE-U scale for measuring the faculty members' attitudes. These two scenarios are quite different in terms of their innovation systems, economic context and university system. We tested and found no evidence of any statistically significant difference due to the country. These two facts suggest the possible existence of an isomorphic trajectory when implementing entrepreneurial universities regardless the context. University managers should be aware of the existence of three different types of supportive individuals. Each of these groups requires a certain program of human resource development. This shifts the debate to how entrepreneurial universities should manage the tensions arising from the need of some degree of specialization in any of the three roles of the faculty members, namely teaching, researching and transfer of the knowledge stemming from research results.

“…In addition to incentive structures, a variety of input metrics such as faculty quality and federal and industrial R&D spending positively affect the number of university spinoffs (see e.g. O'Shea et al, 2005;Pow ers and McDougall, 2005). Moreover, characteristics of Technology Licensing Offices such as the age of the TLO, and TLO staff bonuses have also been subject of research (Markman et al, 2009;Belenzon and Schankerman, 2009;Lockett and Wright, 2005).…”

Our hypothesis is that the major impact by universities instead is in the form of startups created by former students. We review the evidence on student spin-off activity and provide new case study data. It turns out that this activity is probably order of magnitudes larger than faculty spin-offs, at least in terms of number of startups. Maybe as much as 80 percent of all student spin-offs are and remain locally situated and a dominant fraction of these spin offs are located extremely close to their parent university. The recent transformation of university goals and practices toward increasing spinoff rates and new firm creation by faculty and researchers thus might be called to question.

“…c) La calidad de los investigadores constituye un factor que influye directamente en la obtención de resultados importantes, susceptibles de ser comercializados mediante una spin-off. Esto, a su vez, se relaciona con la calidad de la investigación en la universidad como un factor determinante en la generación de spin-offs, dado que si la investigación es de calidad, el emprendimiento también lo será (O` Shea et al, 2004;Powers y McDougall, 2005). La calidad de los investigadores se mide a través de: i) la competitividad investigadora, medida como porcentaje de proyectos de I+D aprobados sobre los presentados; y ii) esfuerzo investigador, medido como el porcentaje de proyectos de I+D aprobados por profesor en nómina (COTEC, 2006).…”

La creación de empresas constituye una de las principales fuentes de generación de riqueza de cualquier entorno geográfico; de ahí la importancia de referirnos al tema de la creación de empresas de base tecnológica y en particular a las spin-offs académicas.<br />Las spin-offs académicas son empresas que se basan en el conocimiento científico y tecnológico desarrollado por docentes e investigadores o estudiantes de doctorado de las universidades. Se consideran el mejor instrumento para la transferencia de la investigación a la sociedad, por ser innovadoras, altamente competitivas y de gran aceptación en el mercado (ANCES, 2003). El contexto mundial de competitividad en el que estamos inmersos demanda cada vez mejores productos y hace que los países tengan la urgente necesidad de generar riqueza y lograr su mejor distribución (Ortín, Salas, Trujillo y Vendrell, 2007). En este sentido, la creación de spin-offs académicas constituye un importante motor para el desarrollo de la economía (von Graevenitz, Harhoff y Weber, 2010), al favorecer la generación de empleo, la transferencia de conocimiento, la innovación, el valor agregado y el desarrollo del tejido empresarial. <br /><br />
