Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For too long, entrepreneurship and innovation have diverged in narrow disciplines, each suffering a specific result: entrepreneurship has become preoccupied with small business creation, and innovation dominated by new product development. On the one hand, much of the theory of innovation has been derived from studies of large manufacturing firms in developed economies, and has been very much concerned with the successful development of products, whereas theories of entrepreneurship have focused too much on small business creation, rather than the broader issue of creating new ventures and managing change in the corporate, public, and third sectors. The aim of this Special Issue is to re-unite the study of entrepreneurship and innovation. It aims at revising the key theories relevant to understanding the dynamics of innovation and entrepreneurship, emphasizing the practice of innovation and entrepreneurship applied in a much broader context, including corporate and public services and emerging technologies and economies. It welcomes contributions on the following, though not fully inclusive, list of topics: Recognizing opportunities: Factors that contribute to innovative organizations Finding the resources: How to identify and manage uncertainty, and the critical contributions of personal and organizational networks Developing the venture: How to develop new and innovative products, services, and businesses, including corporate entrepreneurship and ventures. Creating value: creating and sharing knowledge and intellectual property, novel business models, and factors that influence the success and growth of new ventures. Goals of social entrepreneurship and innovation Contributions of entrepreneurship and innovation in emerging and developing economies

This study explores the determinants of academic startups’ orientation toward international business expansion, focusing on their technological capabilities, availability of public support, the regional characteristics of their locations, and the research standards of their parent universities. Using unique survey data on 448 academic startups in Japan and by estimating an ordered logit model, we find that academic startups are strongly oriented toward expanding their businesses internationally if they have strong technological capabilities, receive public support, are established in regions with a high ratio of exporting small firms, or are affiliated with a parent university with an excellent research reputation.

Numerous studies and reviews about University Knowledge Transfer Offices (UKTO) have been written, but there are few that focus on Social Responsibility (SR). We present a systematic review of the research on both fields. We consider not only logics from agency theory and resource-based view, but also the dynamic approach from institutional theory, as they aim to generate sustainable economic and social value. The evolution of Knowledge Transfer Offices depends on their role as brokers of collaborations among different stakeholders, according to their mission and capacity to confront the innovation gap. We follow the line of SR viewed as a response to the specific demands of large stakeholders. Building upon recent conceptualizations of different theories, we develop an integrative model for understanding the institutional effects of the UKTO on university social responsibility.

This work investigates entrepreneurial intentions among academic scientists. Drawing from the literature on entrepreneurial behavior, it contributes to delineate the differences in motivations that are correlated with entrepreneurial intention to those that are considered to be linked to entrepreneurial behaviors. By disentangling the concept of motivations in its ultimately basic constructs of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, we investigate how these two different types of motivations are related to the formation of entrepreneurial intention at the level of academic scientists. Through a survey conducted at the University of Ferrara—one of the leading universities in Italy in terms of technology transfer and scientific production—findings reveal that while academic entrepreneurial intention seems to be mostly driven by intrinsic motivations, the effect of extrinsic motivations, which are regarded as a main antecedent of entrepreneurial behavior among scientists, are largely mediated by academic positions, work environment and different combinations of these two factors. This work therefore highlights the importance of social norms in the investigation of entrepreneurial intention in academia. Full article

Private sector research and development (R&D) in food processing has seen a growing share of agricultural R&D. This paper analyzes market and technological links between farmer-entrepreneurs and food processing firms. It is shown that processing sector R&D tends to display explosive cycles. To avoid explosive cycles, the processing sector sets the R&D growth path and its target. Dynamic adjustments are related to the shadow price of R&D and farm output price. In equilibrium, the effects of increases in technological innovations (e.g., at the farm level, in public agricultural research, from entrepreneurial talent, in processing sector R&D, and in the price of final goods) on agricultural price and output are positive. The patent race does not affect steady-state agricultural price and output, nor processing sector R&D; it only reduces the opportunity cost of R&D. Full article
