“…Despite these findings, there are still many themes that remain relatively unexplored (Beckman et al 2012a). For instance, Eesley and Roberts (2012) examined whether entrepreneurial performance of technological new ventures was due to innate talent or the accumulation of entrepreneurial experience.…”

Technology entrepreneurship research opportunities: insights from across Europe

Over the last two decades, the phenomenon of technology entrepreneurship has attracted the interest of researchers and policy makers due to its significant impact upon economic progress. Several authors define technology entrepreneurship as the interface of two well-established, but related fields-entrepreneurship and technological innovation. In this vein, technological opportunities can be recognized and exploited by individuals through new venture creation yet equally can be pursued by individuals or groups within existing public or private organizations. This special section provides a more fine grained understanding of technology entrepreneurship by considering interactions across these individual and organizational levels. We present three studies, empirically grounded within the specific and distinct policy contexts of Spain, Italy and the UK, that reveal new insights on the determinants of technology entrepreneurship. In this introductory paper, we consider the themes and contributions of these papers and provide an agenda for further research outlining a greater use of multi-level approaches to further our understanding of technology entrepreneurship.

“…While technology entrepreneurship involves the intersection of entrepreneurial discovery and technological innovation Beckman et al, (Beckman et al 2012a;Beckman et al 2012b), it is also heavily dependent on human capital, social capital, and the structure of intellectual property rights Mosey and Wright (2007); Pathak et al (2013). As we will argue, technology entrepreneurship is indeed best analyzed as a spontaneous order, and as such differing institutions (both formal and informal) impact the emergence of that order.…”

While technology entrepreneurship has been widely recognized as a driver of economic growth, there exists little in the way of a unified framework for understanding technology entrepreneurship and assessing its value proposition, particularly when network externalities and information are involved. In this paper we bring together several strands of literature and identify the components that form a foundation for understanding modern technology entrepreneurship. In particular, technology functions as a capital good that embodies knowledge about performing productive tasks, and the value of this knowledge depends on how well it is able to utilize decentralized local knowledge and spontaneous orders.

“…Technology entrepreneurship in this regard is ventures in which development of technological innovation constitutes a core part of opportunity recognition, resource assembly, strategizing, and appropriation (Beckman et al, 2012;Hsu, 2008). Some key technological entrepreneurship functions for discontinuous innovation have been operationalized in studies of the functions of technological systems, wherein the roles of the technological activities of entrepreneurs, resource mobilization, and the development and diffusion of technological knowledge have been put forward (Beckman et al, 2012). Novel interpretation of the discontinuous technology tends to become highly contested.…”
