“…The literature on entrepreneurship defines it as being concerned with the discovery, evaluation and exploitation of profitable opportunities, and points to a number of extensions to inform theory and empirical analysis (Venkataraman, 1997;Shane and Venkataraman, 2000;Eckhardt and Shane, 2003). One of these is related to the distinction between the sources of opportunities and their enactment (via identification and exploitation) (Shane and Venkataraman, 2000;Eckhardt and Shane, 2003).…”

“…One of these is related to the distinction between the sources of opportunities and their enactment (via identification and exploitation) (Shane and Venkataraman, 2000;Eckhardt and Shane, 2003). The literature on academic entrepreneurship is focusing increasingly on these notions, recognizing them as distinct and crucial for the study of entrepreneurship (Eckhardt and Shane, 2003;Wright et al, 2004;Park, 2005).…”

“…Indeed, technological opportunities based on the creation of new technical knowledge by academia have become an important source of opportunities for enhancing industrial innovation performance (Mansfield, 1995, Bierly et al, 2009, Bishop et al, 2011. Academic inventors are the main university actors and contribute In terms of their enactment, Shane and Venkataraman (2000) propose that entrepreneurial opportunities exist when new means-ends relationships emerge in product markets, factor markets or new materials (among other alternatives). The existence of an entrepreneurial opportunity is not enough to establish entrepreneurship: the individual must be able to recognize an opportunity and its value, and be able also to guide the resource allocation decisions of others (identification).…”

“…Entrepreneurship research highlights that being inventive increases the probability of discovery of technological opportunities and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities, since it helps to develop the necessary mindset and skills (Shane and Venkataraman, 2000;Shane, 2000). Prior invention experience in terms of time spent on invention disclosure and development of patent applications helps to refine the routines involved in the invention process and increases the ability of the researcher to add to the pool of technological opportunity sources (Bercovitz and Feldman, 2008).…”

This paper aims to improve our understanding of the attributes of academic researchers that influence the capacity to contribute to technical advance, by either adding to the pool of technological opportunities available to industry or engaging in the exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities themselves. We investigate a number of factors associated with the skills developed by academic researchers. We find that

ResumoEste trabalho analisa a contribuição desse processo para o desenvolvimento das empresas nos diferentes estágios de incubação. O método de pesquisa foi o estudo de casos múltiplos, com o gerente do CIETEC e quatro empresas em estágios distintos de incubação. A análise dos dados seguiu as técnicas de agrupamento e de cluster. Os principais resultados indicam que: a) as capacidades possuem suas raízes em experiências profissionais ou acadêmicas dos empreendedores; b) o papel da incubadora na formação dessas capacidades é passivo; c) a capacitação de empreendedores para a elaboração de um plano de negócios é um fator positivo para o estabelecimento do negócio; d) o networking proporcionado pela incubadora mostrou-se fundamental para todas as empresas; e) a infraestrutura é importante para os estágios inicias de incubação, porém perde importância na medida em que as empresas avançam em seus estágios de incubação. AbstractThis study aims how the technology -based incubators contribute to the development of enterprises in the different stages of the incubation process. The method of research was the study of multiple cases with the CIETEC's manager and with four companies at different stages of incubation. Data analysis followed the techniques of clustering. The main results reports that: a) entrepreneurial skills have their roots in professional and academic experiences of entrepreneurs; b) the role of incubators in developing these capabilities is passive; c) the training of entrepreneurs to develop a business plan is a factor that positively contributes critically to the establishment of the enterprise; d) the networking development that the incubator supports in its tenants is seen as a very relevant factor; e) the infrastructure is important for tenants in the early stages of the incubation process, but its importance decreases as the tenant advance into late stages of the process.

Entrepreneurial Architecture: A Blueprint for Entrepreneurial Universities

Universities are increasingly challenged to become more socially and economically relevant institutions. While this phenomenon has prompted a growing literature documenting the evolution of the contemporary university, it remains at once both too broadly conceptualized and overly fragmented. Thus, while these literatures continue to grow, they remain largely undertheorized. This paper employs the concept of “entrepreneurial architecture” as a more nuanced perspective to understand this new mission of contemporary universities. This newly emphasized mission has been politically driven through public policy and funding. While providing a theoretical contribution to the study of the entrepreneurial university/university entrepreneurship, the paper also has broader implications for institutions and policymakers as a pragmatic approach.
