Techno-entrepreneurship is broadly defined as the entrepreneurial
and intrapreneurial activities of both existing and nascent
companies operating in technology-intensive environments. Boasting
rich conceptual and empirical contributions by leading
international specialists, this highly original Handbook will prove
an invaluable tool in advancing our understanding of the theory and
practice of research in this emerging area. The expert contributors
initially explore the foundations of the field, clearly defining
the parameters of techno-entrepreneurship. The key processes of
techno-entrepreneurship are identified and discussed:
commercialization strategies; the balance between exploration and
exploitation of new competencies; radical innovation; corporate
venture capital investment; and the mentoring of high-tech
entrepreneurs. The Handbook then shifts its focus to incubation and
technology transfers, pivotal factors in the success of
techno-entrepreneurship. Finally, in-depth case studies of leading
e-business and biotechnology companies illustrate and substantiate
the successful techno-entrepreneurship paradigm.Providing a
comprehensive, highly accessible and innovative first insight into
the developing sphere of techno-entrepreneurship, this
international study will be essential reading for postgraduate
students, academics and researchers with an interest in management
and entrepreneurship. Managerial and entrepreneurial professionals
in high-tech industries will also find much to interest them within
this Handbook.
