New Movements in Academic Entrepreneurship


Add your own review!

Overview

Focusing on academic entrepreneurship in the university context, the authors explore how researchers, teachers, students, academic managers and administrators make sense of entrepreneurship and of the paradoxes and contradictions involved. The book investigates how these diverse entrepreneurial actors and their stakeholders interpret and analyse entrepreneurial activities within the university ecosystem. New Movements in Academic Entrepreneurship covers research commercialisation, academic start-up companies and entrepreneurship education, as well as university-society relationships more widely. With contributions from Europe, North America and Asia, this book helps to broaden our understanding of academic entrepreneurship using original theoretical insights and rich empirical data. Essential reading for students and researchers of entrepreneurial universities and ecosystems, this book provides fresh theoretical frameworks and an inclusive understanding of academic entrepreneurship.

Reviews

‘This book expands the boundaries of the many different roles academics and academic institutions play in both furthering and hindering entrepreneurship (as construed in a variety of forms and methods) in a variety of contexts for a variety of individuals engaged in the practices of entrepreneurship. A major value of this book is that it challenges the academic ecosystem to consider a more expansive view of what entrepreneurship is, who is engaged in these different forms of entrepreneurship, and, to recognize that these varieties of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship already exist and can flourish, if we are willing to let go of our misguided preconceptions and misunderstandings.’ -- William B. Gartner, Babson College, US
