“…Industrial interactions with universities may be facilitated either by sending employees to a university for training or by firms investing in networking with a university. Faria et al (2018), however, show that innovation in Brazilian universities is negligible, and that universities' market evaluation is negatively related to innovation, suggesting that the focus on patenting and on the transfer of knowledge/technology to industrial processes is still precarious in Brazil. A study by Cowan and Zinovyeva (2013) investigates whether the development of a university system affected local industry innovation in Italy between 1985 and 2000.…”

Considering the sequential nature of nascent entrepreneurship and business ownership, this paper examines the propensities of academic entrepreneurs to be business owners. A theoretical model sets up the empirical analysis based on survey data from a large German public research institute. Traditionally, scientists and entrepreneurs have been seen to occupy opposite ends of a spectrum in terms of their role in innovation. In academic entrepreneurship the two combine on a number of activities. In order to understand the ways in which academic inventors move from pure patenting to nascent entrepreneurship to business ownership and connect seemingly divergent activities. We model their behavior by looking at various factors among German scientists. Academic inventors present a critical case since science and entrepreneurship are often seen as radically different, not the least in terms of knowledge production. By bringing the analysis from the level of social behavior and roles to the level of knowledge production, we can better address questions such as: How is knowledge in the interfaces of epistemic communities produced? How can such knowledge be organized and sustained? and How can relations between individuals on 'opposing sides' be constructively managed? The empirical results show that scientists' positive attitudes towards commercialization of results consistently contribute to tendencies towards academic entrepreneurship; however, the academic discipline and risk aversion did not have a statistically significant impact. Having a doctoral degree lowered the propensities toward nascent entrepreneurship, but had the opposite effect on business ownership. Finally, age and experience made business ownership more likely. The results of this study would contribute to a more general theory of how scientists can combine their commercial and scientific activities in spite of an alleged divergence.

“…Covering only one particular innovation could over-or underestimate causal effect between an innovative change and its results [6]. For example, when assessing academic innovation, Chang et al [43] (2006) focus strictly on intellectual propertyrelated activities such as patenting, licensing, and incubated startups; Faria et al [44] (2018) compile an innovation indicator solely from the number of universityaffiliated patents; Hewitt-Dundas et al [45] observe only introductions of new study programs as an indicator of higher education innovation; Huang and Chen [46] use a number of published scientific papers and a number of patents to measure the academic innovation performance of universities; Lin [47] measures the impact of academic innovation simply as the number of paper citations received per university per year.…”

“…These two types of innovations have received less attention than product and service innovation in the innovation literature [49][50]. From the perspective of defining HEI innovations, process and organizational innovations have been recognized [6,20,28] but from the perspective of measuring innovation in HEIs, they have mostly been ignored [9,34,36,44,46], something the proposed framework seeks to correct.…”

Current approaches to measuring innovation in higher education (HE) provide a very limited picture about the real scope of the innovation activities of higher education institutions (HEI) as they address only some dimensions of HEI innovativeness, which negatively affects the ability of the HEI to manage its innovative efforts. The purpose of this paper is to present a way forward on how to measure HEI innovation performance that will go further than the usual indices. It describes a five-perspective framework with dedicated, comprehensive metrics for the measurement of HEI innovation performance. To test the concept and the possibility of empirical application two consecutive surveys have been conducted. Survey of innovation performance was conducted in order to collect hard data on HEI innovation performance and 14 persons in charge of completing the innovation performance questionnaire were interviewed in order to better understand the availability and reliability of the requested data.

Resumo Este artigo analisa a endogenia acadêmica nas universidades públicas brasileiras, definida como a prática de recrutamento em que as universidades contratam os seus próprios doutorandos após a conclusão de seus estudos. Nesse sentido, foram utilizados dados dos docentes que atuam em grupos de pesquisa e o número de publicações em periódicos internacionais e nacionais, bem como o número de alunos de doutorado orientados como proxies da produtividade científica e da sobreposição das atividades de ensino e pesquisa. Por meio da aplicação de um modelo binomial negativo logit hurdle, os indivíduos que não são endógenos publicam ao menos um artigo internacional, mais artigos nacionais e possuem menos orientandos de doutorado. Contudo, não é possível afirmar categoricamente que os não endógenos são mais produtivos, uma vez que as diferentes áreas científicas possuem culturas disciplinares e de difusão distintas e o mercado de trabalho acadêmico brasileiro passa por uma fase de transição.
