Technologiebasierte Spin-offs aus öffentlichen Forschungseinrichtungen und privatwirtschaftlichen Unternehmen stellen wichtige Untergruppen junger, innovationsorientierter Unternehmen dar. In diesem Beitrag wird der aktuelle Stand empirischer Forschungsarbeiten bezüglich Einflussfaktoren der...

Inkubatoren unterstützen Neugründungen und junge Unternehmen beim Aufbau ihrer Geschäftstätigkeit. In diesem Beitrag wird auf Basis einer Stichprobe von 72 deutschen Inkubatoren eine Klassifizierung der Inkubatorlandschaft auf Basis ihrer Leistungsangebote vorgenommen. Anhand einer...

We investigated how and when parent hostility (degree to which a parent firm disapproves the spawning of an own spin-out) affects spin-out performance and how spin-outs can effectively react to it. Analyses of 144 technology spin-outs support our arguments that spin-outs suffer from hostility....

This study identifies the pace of technological development and market heterogeneity as crucial environmental conditions shaping start-ups' performance when commercializing radical technologies. Using a unique dataset that combines survey and patent data for 85 technology-based start-ups, we...

This study explores why academic entrepreneurs patent their inventions before and after creating a firm. Drawing on start-up data combined with patent data, we specifically examine the impact of five, relatively under-researched factors (scientific field, pace of technological development,...

This article reviews the theoretical background and cumulates findings of 126 published studies (1980 - 2009) on individual determinants of entrepreneurial status. We categorize determinants into one of six paradigms (trait, cognitive, affective, intentions, learning, and economic) and review...

This study examines how different organizational learning strategies (i.e., exploration or exploitation) impact the sales growth of technology spin-outs, and the role of the parent firm in this context. Using knowledge-based and learning views of the firm, we propose that spin-out performance...

This study examines how the effect of entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial intentions is (1) contingent on the mode of education (active, e.g. business plan seminar, vs reflective, e.g. theory lectures), (2) contingent on the regional context and (3) complemented by...

Markush structures are molecular skeletons containing not only specific atoms but also placeholders to represent broad sets of chemical (sub)structures. As genus claims, they allow a vast number of compounds to be claimed in a patent application without having to specify every single chemical...

This study examines how the extent of entrepreneurship education within university departments influences students entrepreneurial intentions (and its drivers: attitude to the behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control). Specifically, it proposes that the effect of such...
