First published in 1998, this volume explored the recent growth in
university-based commercial start-up companies as a means of
applying research in industry and as an alternative method of
funding. Blair and Hitchens melded the practical experiences of
universities with more theoretical understandings of technology
transfer to assess whether it is more effective for universities to
make commercial use of their research themselves as opposed to
licensing, whether this is an effective way to get research applied
by industry and the economic implications of these decisions.
Drawing on the experiences of 25 universities, of which 18 are in
the UK and Ireland, and including a detailed study of the QUBIS
Group from Queen's University of Belfast, the authors explore
universities' deliberate commercial exploitation of their research
through university spin-off companies, the potential stresses on
staff who are simultaneously academics and entrepreneurs along with
universities' attitudes to the practice and possible managerial
strategies.
