Rethinking the Commercialization of Public Science: From Entrepreneurial Outcomes to Societal Impacts (2018, background): “This suggests that those engaged in the process of commercializing science explicitly care for impacts at different levels of analysis (D’Este & Perkmann, 2011; Iorio, Labory, & Rentocchini, 2017), which further reinforces the need to go beyond traditional outcome measures and better understand the…”
Pathways to impact and the strategic role of universities: new evidence on the breadth and depth of university knowledge exchange in the UK and the factors constraining its development (2012, neutral): “For instance D’Este and Perkmann (2010) and Lee (2000) consider the motivations for academics to engage with industry and Giuliani et al (2010) analyse the characteristics of academics who engage with business. The channels through which academics interact with business are analysed by Klofsten and ”
Technology commercialization: a literature review of success factors and antecedents across different contexts (2016, background): “, it is rather about contributions that might advance their research, than financial returns (D’Este and Perkmann 2011).”
In good company: : The influence of peers on industry engagement by academic scientists (2012, background): “Intrinsic motivation to become an academic is positively and significantly related to industry engagement, which perhaps indicates that academics who adhere to the norms of public science collaborate with industry in order to advance their research agendas (D’Este and Perkmann, 2011).”
University knowledge and firm innovation: evidence from European countries (2014, background): “…et al. 1996; Van Wijk et al. 2008), and another concerning supply-side factors, i.e. factors related to individual universities (Siegel et al. 2003a, b; Azagra-Caro 2007; Schartinger et al. 2001; Link et al. 2007; Friedman and Silberman 2003; Caldera and Debande 2010; D’Este and Perkmann 2011).”
Entrepreneurial practices in research-intensive and teaching-led universities (2016, background): “Respectively, these variables reflect (1) the habits/routines around involvement of TTOs in entrepreneurial engagements, (2) the degree to which staff at a given university is expected to develop managerial capabilities in addition to academic capabilities and (3) the degree to which entrepreneurial”
Mapping the field: a bibliometric analysis of the literature on university–industry collaborations (2017, background): “At the same time, becoming more ambidextrous, universities actively engage in the commercialisation of research results and technological advancements after research activities (D’Este and Perkmann 2011; Perkmann et al. 2013; Villani et al. 2017).”
Engaging Excellence? Effects of Faculty Quality on University Engagement with Industry (2011, neutral): “For academic researchers, the decision to work with firms is likely to be informed significantly by whether this will complement their research (D'Este and Perkmann, 2010).”
Conceptualizing academic entrepreneurship ecosystems: a review, analysis and extension of the literature (2018, background): “Industry relationships include pre-founding links with industry (Swamidass and Vulasa 2009), total hours spent working with industry (Agrawal 2006), industry consulting (D’Este and Perkmann 2011; Gassol 2007) and department-level industry connections (Rasmussen et al. 2014).”
Technology transfer in a global economy (2012, background): “Further research is also required to examine the role of informal university technology transfer (Grimpe and Fier 2010), the incentives of academics and scientists to cooperate with industry (D’Este and Perkmann 2011; Fritsch and Krabel 2012) and the role of”
