The impact of higher education on entrepreneurial intention and human capital (2018, methodology): “…universities are expected to support the entrepreneurship choice through multiple initiatives that are designed to spread scientific and entrepreneurial culture to support the creation of start-ups as part of the so-called third mission (Laredo 2007; Franzoni and Lissoni, 2009; Fini et al., 2011).”
The Schumpeterian entrepreneur: a review of the empirical evidence on the antecedents, behaviour and consequences of innovative entrepreneurship (2017, positive): “Papers on academic entrepreneurship investigate start-ups coming from universities or research institutes that are founded to exploit knowledge that was initially developed in academic institutions (Fini et al. 2011).”
The impact of local and external university knowledge on the creation of knowledge-intensive firms: evidence from the Italian case (2014, neutral): “Some universities have a proactive strategy toward their third mission and design mechanisms to support technology transfer (Fini et al. 2011; see below for a detailed discussion of these mechanisms) that influence how far university knowledge travels across space.”
The Determinants of Entrepreneurial Intention of Young Researchers: Combining the Theory of Planned Behavior with the Triple Helix Model (2019, background): “…raising equity, thereby incentivizing entrepreneurial-related actions; (2) by directly supporting new ventures through specific regional programs (Fini et al. 2011) in the same way that the European initiative “Europe 2020” identifies the European Central Bank as having a direct role in…”
“To have and have not”: founders’ human capital and university start-up survival (2013, neutral): “Others use alternative labels such as research-based scientific organizations (e.g. Mustar et al. 2006), academic spin-offs (e.g. Fini et al. 2011) or academic start-ups (e.g. Colombo and Piva 2012).”
Institutional determinants of university spin-off quantity and quality: a longitudinal, multilevel, cross-country study (2016, result): “The idea is consistent with the evidence provided by (Fini et al. 2011), who show that the introduction of a new national legislative framework to support entrepreneurship and the creation of university TTOs complement each other in predicting academic entrepreneurship.”
Founding team composition and early performance of university—Based spin-off companies (2014, background): “2003), on the availability of support from industry and venture capitalists at the regional level (e.g., Clarysse et al., 2011; Fini et al., 2011; Van Geenhuizen and Soetanto, 2009), on the functioning of technology parks (Hansson et al., 2005; Link and Scott, 2007) or on motivations, personality…”
Conceptualizing academic entrepreneurship ecosystems: a review, analysis and extension of the literature (2018, background): “Several studies focues on spinoff establishment examine the Italian context, specifically (Algieri et al. 2013; Fini et al. 2011; Horta et al. 2016; Meoli and Vismara 2016; Muscio et al. 2016).”
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.”
The Climate for Entrepreneurship at Higher Education Institutions (2018, background): “neurship competitions) are usually very visible and might increase the awareness of the possibility of an entrepreneurial career among academics and students (Fini et al., 2011).”
Expanding entrepreneurship education ecosystems (2017, positive): “An academic spin-off (Azagra-Caro et al. 2006; Fini et al. 2011; Markuerkiaga et al. 2016) is intended as a new high-tech venture promoted”
