Location Decisions of Spin-offs from Public Research Institutions (2004, background): “…consulting services, financial support and equity investment to those spin-offs located nearby their home institution, e.g. in a science park or other types of incubators, or setting up their businesses in close cooperation with their home institution (see Roberts and Malone 1996; Meyer 2003).”
The M&A dynamics of European science-based entrepreneurial firms (2010, background): “Such ventures may be motivated, at least in part, by the prospect of enhancing one’s academic position (Meyer, 2003).”
In search of the profit-maximizing actor: motivations and definitions of success from nascent academic entrepreneurs (2011, background): “Meyer (2003) suggests that ‘‘entrepreneurial academics’’ in public sector organizations may not define success by spinoff growth or profits but rather by the prospect of finding other avenues to pursue their academic research agenda, especially if they remain a university faculty member.”
Mapping the field: a bibliometric analysis of the literature on university–industry collaborations (2017, background): “Academic entrepreneurship has mainly been supported by the university and government (Meyer 2003; Fini et al. 2011; Grimaldi et al. 2011); however, it can be also supported by the (local) industry.”
Universities, knowledge networks and regional policy (2008, background): “…‘entrepreneurial universities’ (Smilor, et al., 1993; Slaughter and Leslie, 1997; Etzkowitz, et al., 2000; Powers, 2004) and ‘academic entrepreneurs’ (Meyer, 2003; Shane, 2004) that are highly involved in venturing and commercialisation activities such as the establishment of spin-off firms, and…”
The Economic and Innovation Contribution of Universities: A Regional Perspective (2009, background): “…of ‘entrepreneurial universities’ (Etzkowitz et al., 2000; Powers, 2004; Slaughter and Leslie, 1997; Smilor et al., 1993) and ‘academic entrepreneurs’ (Meyer, 2003; Shane, 2004) that are highly involved in venturing and commercialisation activities such as the establishment of spin-off firms, and…”
Exploring the Knowledge Filter: How Entrepreneurship and University-Industry Relationships Drive Economic Growth ∗ (2006, background): “Therefore, possible vehicles for the commercialization of academic research are university-industry partnerships or the creation of university spin-off companies (Rosenberg and Nelson, 1994; Hall et al., 2003; Arundel and Geuna, 2004; Meyer, 2003; Di Gregorio and Shane, 2003; MeyerKrahmer and Schmoc”
Engaging the scholar: Three types of academic consulting and their impact on universities and industry (2008, background): “A resource-based view is supported by case study evidence highlighting that spin-off companies are sometimes used to fund further academic research by their founders (Meyer, 2003).”
