“…Spin-off survival depends on the quality and size of their parent companies (Fackler et al, 2016), technology transfer activities, normative frameworks, support infrastructures (i.e., business incubators and science parks), and TTO staff 's specialist technical skills (Berbegal-Mirabent et al, 2015;Ramaciotti and Rizzo, 2015;Fernández-Alles et al, 2015, Fini et al, 2011Bolzani et al, 2014;). Slavtchev and Göktepe-Hultén (2016) conclude that support in the early stage by the parent organization like helping in development of a business plan and in acquiring external capital can speed up commercialization. Commercialization plays signifi cant role in development and diff usion of technologies.…”

Abstract. Technology and innovation are viewed as triggers in the move towards greener economy. Commercialisation of green technologies does not only provide the key drivers for economic growth but are also essential for the world to be sustainable. Th e central idea of this paper is to address the query of what is known about green technological outputs. In particular, we look at the existing body of literature related to commercialization of green technologies, identifying the most active scholars, journals and relevant publications. Th e paper provides some answers to the questions of top journals with the papers related to commercialization of green technology, a number of articles with the highest number of citations, or the list of countries with the most of studies in green technologies. Th e paper has both academic and policy-making value . From the academic perspective the study identifi es the scholars who have contributed most to the research on commercialisation of green technologies. For policy-makers, this paper is a report on the existing practices and positive experience in responsible leadership. Additionally for practitioners, the study shows which subject areas create profi table growth in compliance with environmental sustainability and good corporate citizenship.

“…The MPS consists of 83 institutes and research facilities worldwide, of which 78 are situated in Germany and employ about 9,000 researchers in natural sciences, life sciences, and humanities. Within the public science sector in Germany, the MPS is complementing universities by performing research in fields that universities are not able to embed in their research agendas, especially in cases of new and innovative research that is uncertain, is of a basic nature, and requires long‐term commitment (i.e., structures and funding; Slavtchev and Göktepe‐Hultén ()). Research excellence of the MPS is documented by 33 Nobel Prizes since 1911.…”

This paper focuses on entrepreneurship by academic leaders. With the use of patents, inventions, and spin‐offs to measure commercialization, and directors, research group leaders, and business owners as academic leaders, results, using a sample of more than 2,500 German researchers, show differences across academic leaders and commercialization. Findings for spin‐offs are different from those for patents and inventions. Academic leaders in sciences were more likely to commercialize. Doctoral degrees helped patents by business owners and spin‐offs by group leaders, whereas female business owners and female group leaders faced challenges patenting and inventing, respectively. For business owners, age increased the likelihood of patenting but lowered spin‐offs.

“…According to Jensen and Thursby (2002), most university technologies or research results are embryonic, requiring further development before they can be sold in the marketplace. Slavtchev and Göktepe-Hultén (2016) revealed that spin-offs supported by the parent organization in the early stages (i.e. nascent and seed) were able to generate their first revenues sooner.…”

Purpose This paper aims to empirically explore the influence that different factors have on the creation of university spin-offs. Design/methodology/approach This is an exploratory study that uses a multilevel design. The study follows a purposive sampling method where data are gathered from a variety of sources. The hypotheses are tested with a sample of 52 universities from the Latin American region using multiple hierarchical regression analysis. Findings The results indicate that entrepreneurial orientation, incubators or entrepreneurship support programs and goods market efficiency are the factors that positively influence the creation of university spin-offs. Research limitations/implications The results of this study should be observed in light of some limitations. The sample size is an important factor, as a bigger sample could allow for examination of cross-institutional variation in the context of different countries. In addition, the lack of records or public databases makes it difficult to incorporate more information on spin-offs creation, including features or firm performance. Originality/value This study is the first to empirically explore the university spin-offs creation phenomenon in the Latin American region. Hence, it contributes to university entrepreneurship literature, specifically to better understand this phenomenon from a more holistic perspective across different levels of analysis at the same time that it incorporates previous proposals to explain entrepreneurial orientation at universities.
