The Effectiveness of University Knowledge Spillovers: Performance Differences between University Spinoffs and Corporate Spinoffs (2011, background): “…to be more bureaucratic, often involving decision-making by large committees that meet infrequently and that are not attuned to commercial demands (Wright et al., 2006), and a host culture that is generally less inclined towards commercial activities than corporations (Colyvas and Powell, 2007;…”
Institutional determinants of university spin-off quantity and quality: a longitudinal, multilevel, cross-country study (2016, background): “VCs, for example, will be less willing to invest in spin-off firms, which they already perceive as more difficult than other high-tech ventures (Wright et al. 2006).”
Funding the growth of UK technology-based small firms since the financial crash: are there breakages in the finance escalator? (2013, background): “Over the last decade, there has been a growing role for public backed finance initiatives, with the UK government becoming a major source of seed and early stage finance (Oakey 2003; Wright et al. 2006; Murray 2007).”
Completing the technology transfer process: M&As of science-based IPOs (2012, unknown): “The valueenhancing effect of university affiliation, combined with prior evidence on the likelihood of such firms to go public (Shane 2004), explains the attractiveness of university-based firms to specialized pre-IPO investors such as venture capitalists (Wright et al. 2006).”
Determinants and consequences of university spinoff activity: a conceptual framework (2008, background): “However, more recent research shows that access to venture capital is the most important resource constraint faced by universities ( Wright et al. 2006 ).”
Commercializing university research in transition economies: Technology transfer offices or direct industrial funding? (2019, background): “Since industry pays for the 360 research it has an interest in adopting the major research technologies (Wright et al., 2006).”
Expanding entrepreneurship education ecosystems (2017, unknown): “EEE is seen as a driver of regional economic development (Wright et al. 2006), while entrepreneurship educators, scientists, entrepreneurs and government demand a stronger link between research and commercialization of knowledge (Caiazza et al. 2014).”
Dynamics of Science-based entrepreneurship (2010, background): “In particular, the European institutional context is heterogeneous across countries, which themselves have differing long-standing traditions of policy development regarding innovation and technology transfer (e.g. Wright et al. 2006 ).”
Unraveling the “passion orchestra” in academia (2016, background): “In other words, in contrast to start-up creation, the establishment of a spin-off inevitably involves intensive interaction with the parent institution, both during pre- and post-formation stages (Wright et al., 2006), which calls for some level of devotion.”
Strategic Entrepreneurship at Universities: Academic Entrepreneurs’ Assessment of Policy Programs (2009, background): “Since new ventures are particularly short of resources, resource accumulation is one of the main tasks of academic entrepreneurs and essential to the development of their ventures (Wright et al., 2006).”
