• Success factors of university-spin-offs: Regional government support programs versus regional environment (2014, background): “…(see Hsu et al., 2007; Shane, 2004; O’Shea et al., 2005; Lawton-Smith et al., 2005; Markman et al., 2004), although growing academic interest in the mechanisms of such spin-offs can now be observed in other countries (Bathelt et al., 2010; Rothaermel et al., 2007; Kroll and Liefner, 2008).”
• Managing and incentivizing research commercialization in Chinese Universities (2010, background): “Some scholars have even argued that spinoffs remain the only viable arrangement in China instead of technology licensing, contracting, or patenting (Euna et al. 2006; Kroll and Liefner 2008).”
• Trends in Global Higher Education: Tracking an Academic Revolution: A Report Prepared for the UNESCO 2009 World Conference on Higher Education (2010, background): “Both the government and universities appear to be going through a rethinking process, as many enterprises have not been successful and managerial responsibilities are increasingly demanding, especially given more mature market conditions (Ma, 2007; Kroll and Liefner 2008).”
• The roles of universities in fostering knowledge-intensive clusters in Chinese regional innovation systems (2015, background): “deficiencies in contract law (Kroll and Liefner 2008), most universities have a relatively weak propensity to”
• “To have and have not”: founders’ human capital and university start-up survival (2013, background): “Among the different dimensions of entrepreneurial performance (see Murphy et al. 1996), survival becomes particularly relevant in a USU context since it encourages innovation and fosters the commercialization of new technologies (Shane 2004; Kroll and Liefner 2008).”
• Academic spin-offs at different ages: A case study in search of key obstacles to growth (2009, background): “Fostering spin-off firms, within the aim of commercialization of university research, is today at the core of many national and local economic policies, including Europe, North America and increasingly Asia (Kroll and Liefner 2008; Rasmussen 2008; Shane 2004).”
