The role of academic inventors in entrepreneurial firms: sharing the laboratory life (2004, background): “This focus underscores the origins of many biotechnology firms within the academic community and the critical importance of basic scientific ideas for the founding and on-going development of the firm (Kenney, 1986; McMillan et al., 2000).”
Unmixed signals: How reputation and status affect alliance formation (2014, background): “…to study limitations, we recognize that reputation and status may be especially important in the biotechnology industry, where product development is driven by basic scientific knowledge (McMillan, Narin, and Deeds, 2000), and such idiosyncrasies may limit the generalizability of our results.”
Informetrics at the beginning of the 21st century - A review (2008, background): “Bhattacharya, Kretschmer, and Meyer (2003) studied the interactions between the scientific and patent literatures in the study of “thin films” using patent citation and co-word analysis.”
The organization of scientific collaborations (2002, background): “makers, program managers, and scientific leaders, given the crucial role that public science plays in technological innovation, transfer, and industrial development (Narin et al., 1997; McMillan et al., 2000) and the fact that a growing portion of publicly funded research is carried out in collabora”
University Start-Up Formation and Technology Licensing with Firms that Go Public: A Resource-Based View of Academic Entrepreneurship (2005, background): “Finally, in industries, such as biotechnology, companies rely heavily on universities for very basic scientific research (e.g., McMillan et al., 2000).”
The Reification of Absorptive Capacity: A Critical Review and Rejuvenation of the Construct (2006, unknown): “Similarly, increasing familiarity through interorganizational relationships and through belonging to a community increases an organization’s absorptive capacity (Beise & Stahl, 1999; Liebeskind, Oliver, Zucker, & Brewer, 1996; McMillan, Narin, & Deeds, 2000; Meyer-Krahmer & Meyer-Krahmer, 1998).”
Differences in technology transfer between science-based and development based industries: transfer mechanisms and barriers (2011, background): “As such, the outcome of this search process is highly codified (McMillan et al., 2000; Cohen et al., 2002).”
How do internal capabilities and external partnerships affect innovativeness? (2009, background): “To start with, McMillan et al. (2000) argue that biotechnology companies depend on public science as a source of new knowledge much more heavily than other industries.”
From separate systems to a hybrid order: accumulative advantage across public and private science at Research One universities (2003, background): “Particularly in the life sciences (Narin et al., 2000), but also in areas such as computational chemistry (Mahdi and Pavitt, 1997), university science has become increasingly important to industrial innovation (Hicks et al.”
