• Determinants and consequences of university spinoff activity: a conceptual framework (2008, background): “The challenge lies in identifying and replicating the processes that facilitate swift movement of technology from the ivory tower of academia to the front-line of industry (Allen et al. 1979; Allen and Sosa 2004; Birley 2002; Lacetera 2006; Mowery and Shane 2002; Wright et al. 2004a; Markman et al.”
