University support and the creation of technology and non-technology academic spin-offs (2016, background): “To explain this trend, we maintain that because the establishment of non-technology firms requires less support from the parent university (Pirnay et al. 2003), such an academic engagement form may act as a resource mobilization device that results in fewer available resources.”
Conceptualizing academic entrepreneurship ecosystems: a review, analysis and extension of the literature (2018, background): “While most scholarship has focused on the role of faculty as academic entrepreneurs, a modest literature also focuses on the role of students and postdocs (Boh et al. 2016; Rasmussen and Wright 2015; Pirnay et al. 2003).”
Does inventor ownership encourage university research-derived entrepreneurship? A six university comparison (2011, unknown): “There has been a proliferation of classification schemes for university research spin-offs (see, for example, Carayannis et al., 1998; Pirnay et al., 2003).”
A knowledge-based typology of university spin-offs in the context of regional economic development (2010, methodology): “…to the more rigid definitions found in the university spin-off literature, whereas unsponsored spin-offs based on decentralized idea development are situated on the opposite side of the spectrum, referred to here as universityrelated start-ups (see, also, Pirnay et al., 2003; Mustar et al., 2006).”
Success Factors in Canadian Academic Spin-Offs (2006, background): “3. See a handful of other definitions in Pirnay et al., 2003 .”
Why do academics engage with industry? The entrepreneurial university and individual motivations (2009, background): “In the case of spin-off companies, academics establish financial ties with for-profit firms, providing the opportunity for economic participation in the commercialization of technology (Pirnay et al., 2003).”
The Determinants of Entrepreneurial Intention of Young Researchers: Combining the Theory of Planned Behavior with the Triple Helix Model (2019, background): “…have been jointly examined in determining students’ propensity to start a business and academics’ propensity to create a spinoff, making a significant contribution to overall university entrepreneurship (Bergmann, Hundt, and Sternberg 2016; Fini et al. 2011; Pirnay, Surlemont, and Nlemvo 2003).”
Expanding entrepreneurship education ecosystems (2017, unknown): “There is also no agreement on conditions that enable the creation of instruments and mechanisms internally at the university level to support entrepreneurial activity and innovation diffusion within EEE (Pirnay et al. 2003; Algieri et al. 2013).”
Academic spin-offs at different ages: A case study in search of key obstacles to growth (2009, background): “Following Pirnay et al. (2003) academic spin-offs are defined as a particular set of spin-offs, created for the purpose of commercially exploiting a new technology or research results developed within a university.”
University spin-off policies and economic development in Less successful regions: Learning from two decades of policy practice (2005, background): “(2003) define these generically as “[n]ew firms created to exploit commercially some knowledge, technology or research results developed within a university” (p.”
