Entrepreneurial activity and regional competitiveness: evidence from European entrepreneurial universities (2016, background): “The influence of these university support measures on students’ entrepreneurial activity has been analyzed in only a few studies, which show that these measures affect positively students’ attitudes toward the behavior (the desire) and the perceived behavioral control (the feasibility) needed to bec”
Determinants and consequences of university spinoff activity: a conceptual framework (2008, background): “The three quite different phases put forward by Degroof and Roberts (2004) in proactive spinoff processes were: (1) origination; (2) concept testing; and (3) start-up support.”
Firms’ genetic characteristics and competence-enlarging strategies: A comparison between academic and non-academic high-tech start-ups (2012, background): “In articular, it has been highlighted that these firms tend to remain mall (Degroof and Roberts, 2004).”
Conceptualizing academic entrepreneurship ecosystems: a review, analysis and extension of the literature (2018, unknown): “…have been established (Zhang 2009), often provide valuable resources and networks critical to academic entrepreneurship (Alegieri et al. 2013; Degroof and Roberts 2004; Friedman and Silberman 2003; Heblich and Slavtchev 2014; Shah and Pahnke 2014; Sternberg 2014), especially venture capital…”
University entrepreneurship: a taxonomy of the literature (2007, background): “Degroof and Roberts (2004) How does the process involved in the spin-off policies affect the growth potential of the ventures?”
Entrepreneurial orientation, technology transfer and spinoff performance of U.S. universities (2005, background): “Some studies found that the perceived responsiveness of university policy may affect whether academics attempt to exploit intellectual property (IP) within or outside the perimeters of the university (Feldman et al., 2002; Degroof and Roberts, 2004).”
In search of the profit-maximizing actor: motivations and definitions of success from nascent academic entrepreneurs (2011, background): “Many of these influential individuals are professional managers or provide funding, technical assistance, or advice, factors important to commercialization success (Martinelli et al. 2008; Degroof and Roberts 2004; Heirman and Clarysse 2004; Franklin et al. 2001).”
Success factors of university-spin-offs: Regional government support programs versus regional environment (2014, background): “This definition reflects the opinion of the majority of the scholars (including, e.g., Markman et al., 2004; Degroof and Roberts, 2004; Lawton Smith and Ho, 2006; Egeln et al., 2003), but not all of them (e.g., Druilhe and Garnsey, 2004; Djokovic and Souitaris, 2008).”
Why are some university researchers more likely to create spin-offs than others? Evidence from Canadian universities (2006, background): “…based on the university as the unit of analysis tend to focus on the impact of university policies on spin-off formation (Roberts and Malone, 1996; Degroof and Roberts, 2004; Di Gregorio and Shane, 2003; O’Shea et al., 2005; Lockett et al., 2003; Lockett and Wright, 2004; Nerkar and Shane, 2003).”
The research university, entrepreneurship and regional development: Research propositions and current evidence (2012, unknown): “The formulation of a selective incubation strategy for spin-offs (Degroof and Roberts 2004 ; Clarysse et al.”
Harnessing University Entrepreneurship for Economic Growth (2013, result): “These findings seem to complement the findings of Powers and McDougall (2005) and Degroof and Roberts (2004) who show that spin-offs in entrepreneurial regions require little support from the university and vice versa.”
Complements or Substitutes? The Role of Universities and Local Context in Supporting the Creation of Academic Spin-offs (2011, unknown): “…Mowery et al., 2004; O'Shea et al., 2005) and conditional to local context specificities (Brunitz et al., 2008; Roberts and Malone, 1996), the effects of universities' interventions are still mainly anecdotal (for notable exceptions, see Degroof and Roberts (2004) and Rasmussen et al. (2011)).”
