Unraveling the “passion orchestra” in academia (2016, background): “Scientific discipline was controlled for, as embeddedness in particular disciplines and their cultures is shown to influence individuals’ propensity to shift toward entrepreneurship (Kenney and Goe, 2004).”
Why Family Matters: The Impact of Family Resources on Immigrant Entrepreneurs’ Exit from Entrepreneurship (2016, neutral): “To date, the literature on entrepreneurs’ embeddedness mostly consists of studies showing how entrepreneurs are influenced by the spatial context (Dahl and Sorenson, 2009) as well as by social institutions, such as workplaces (Kenney and Goe, 2004).”
Knowledge exchange: a comparison of policies, strategies, and funding incentives in English and Scottish higher education (2013, background): “Further, the interpretation and implementation of KE policies and strategies are influenced and conditioned by institutional values and culture of individual universities—missions, strategies, resources, and the nature of the institution’s business (Kenney and Goe 2004; Vorley and Nelles 2008; Jongb”
In good company: : The influence of peers on industry engagement by academic scientists (2012, background): “Being embedded in an academic department with a culture that is supportive of entrepreneurial activities can help counteract the disincentives created by a university environment that does not recognize such efforts (Kenney and Goe, 2004).”
Entrepreneurial universities: emerging models in the new social and economic landscape (2016, background): “Thus, the local environment, with its unique mix of cultures, history, and canons, exerts a greater or lesser influence on the entrepreneurial efforts of faculty (Kenney and Goe 2004) due to the peer effect.”
Information-Sharing in Academia and the Industry: A Comparative Study (2011, background): “…a scientist perceives his or her community to respect the norm of open science is influenced by the behavior of colleagues, collaborators, peers, advisers and “local” guidelines to relevant activities (see Kenney, 1986 and Kenney and Goe, 2004 for institutional effects on entrepreneurial behavior).”
The engaged university (2010, positive): “Studies have found that the success of university commercialization depends on historical, environmental, and intrauniversity factors (i.e., institutional incentives and organizational practices) (Kenney and Goe 2004; Siegal and Phan 2005).”
Models and Methods of University Technology Transfer (2013, positive): “An academic department’s culture that is supportive to entrepreneurial activity could help counteract disincentives created by a university environment that is not supportive of entrepreneurial activities (Kenney and Goe, 2004).”
In search of the profit-maximizing actor: motivations and definitions of success from nascent academic entrepreneurs (2011, background): “Furthermore, the traditional mission of the university is teaching, basic research, and knowledge dissemination; thus, there are many structural and cultural barriers within to inhibit technology commercialization (Bercovitz and Feldman 2008; Chiesa and Piccaluga 2000; Kenney and Goe 2003; Markman”
The spill-over theory reversed: The impact of regional economies on the commercialization of university science (2013, background): “…that Stanford and UCSF, the two universities with excepionally high patent output, each have dramatically more scientists ith direct industry contacts, 130 and 119 respectively, than the ther universities in either region (see Kenney and Goe, 2004 for a imilar comparison focused on engineering).”
