Entrepreneurship in global innovation ecosystems (2011, background): “Learning requires new ventures to develop the requisite absorptive capacity— defined as the ability to recognize, value, capture, assimilate and use knowledge developed elsewhere (Cohen and Levinthal 1990; Zahra and George 2002 ).”
Corporate entrepreneurship as knowledge creation and conversion: the role of entrepreneurial hubs (2015, background): “Conversion and integration are essential for learning and therefore can lead to the discovery and creation of opportunities (Zahra et al. 2007; Zahra 2008).”
The performance of university spin-offs: an exploratory analysis using venture capital data (2009, background): “offs appears to be the most widely used among researchers (see, e.g., Clarysse et al. 2007; Link and Scott 2005; Lockett et al. 2005; Lockett and Wright 2005; Lowe and Ziedonis 2006; O’Shea et al. 2005; Siegel et al. 2007; Wright et al. 2006; Zahra et al. 2007 ).”
Contextualization and the advancement of entrepreneurship research (2014, background): “While there has been extensive analysis of spin-offs from universities or corporations, there has been limited comparative work (for exceptions, see Clarysse et al., 2011; Zahra et al., 2007).”
The Resource-Based View, Resourcefulness, and Resource Management in Startup Firms: A Proposed Research Agenda (2021, background): “Success in the conversion into applications also requires building the capability to select and integrate different resources with knowledge and other assets that make for a winning combination (Zahra et al., 2007).”
The Effectiveness of University Knowledge Spillovers: Performance Differences between University Spinoffs and Corporate Spinoffs (2011, background): “We denote these firms as USOs or CSOs depending on whether they transferred into entrepreneurship directly from employment in a university or from a private corporation (Zahra et al., 2007).”
A knowledge-based typology of university spin-offs in the context of regional economic development (2010, background): “This is, in most cases, justified by the argument that the respective firms share common characteristics and face similar difficulties in establishing market legitimacy and mobilizing their growth potential (Zahra et al., 2007).”
Valuing University–Based Firms: The Effects of Academic Affiliation on IPO Performance (2011, background): “This evidence corroborates and extends in time the results of previous studies on this typology of firms (Ensley & Hmieleski, 2005; Zahra et al., 2007).”
