Network-based Research in Entrepreneurship: A Decade in Review (2015, background): “…spin-offs where such conditions typically apply (Nicolaou and Birley, 2003), the completeness of spin-off teams as represented by the diversity of the functional skills and the degree of role articulation has been linked to the networking behavior of founding teams (Grandi and Grimaldi, 2003).”
Collective Cognition: When Entrepreneurial Teams, Not Individuals, Make Decisions (2007, background): “…members of these teams appear to differ behaviorally in their propensities for external networking (Neergaard, 2005); such networking serves to gather useful new information about markets and customers, making it more likely that the new venture will start up successfully (Grandi & Grimaldi, 2003).”
Conceptualizing academic entrepreneurship ecosystems: a review, analysis and extension of the literature (2018, background): “Other team-related factors include the number and technical experience of inventors (Knockaert et al. 2010), clarity of team-member roles (Clarysse and Moray 2004; Grandi and Grimaldi 2003), and levels of trust and familiarity among team members (Grandi and Grimaldi 2005; Knockaert et al. 2010).”
University entrepreneurship: a taxonomy of the literature (2007, background): “They find that ties with parent universities provide infrastructure and expertise (Grandi and Grimaldi, 2003; Johansson et al., 2005), and that ties with venture capitalists have been shown to increase funding rates and decrease the probability of failure (Shane and Stuart, 2002).”
Strategic Entrepreneurship at Universities: Academic Entrepreneurs’ Assessment of Policy Programs (2009, background): “…Hmieleski (2005) found that academic ventures have more homogeneous management teams and experience lower performance than nonacademic ventures, and Grandi and Grimaldi (2003) showed that the founding team’s intentions to build up external relationships are an important factor to achieve high…”
Founding team composition and early performance of university—Based spin-off companies (2014, methodology): “…people with prior commercial experiences, but the analysis does not include the type of USO that, according to previous studies, is probably the most significant, namely the USO led by academics who are only part-time entrepreneurs (e.g. Stankiewicz, 1994; Grandi and Grimaldi, 2003; Müller, 2010).”
Factors fostering academics to start up new ventures: an assessment of Italian founders’ incentives (2009, unknown): “Similar patterns have been observed in other countries, like Sweden (Olofsson and Wahlbin 1992), France (Mustar 1997) and Italy (Grandi and Grimaldi 2003).”
