Building on a variety of contrasting perspectives, this book
focuses on the connection between university spin-offs and regional
economic development. It aptly captures the diverse range of
concepts relating to the main participants in the process of
university spin-offs, reflecting on their roles and how these may
have changed. This fascinating book provides the reader with an
in-depth exploration into the spin-off process, examining how it
can begin and evolve over time and how it links to regional
development. Chapters highlight pertinent methodological issues
previous studies have faced, while putting forward intriguing
critiques of the institutional environment. The lifespan and
performance of these spin-offs is scrutinised, as well as their
operation at different stages of development. Interdisciplinary
perspectives are summarised in order to fully investigate the
importance of university spin-offs to the economic development of
regions. The Geography of Academic Entrepreneurship will be of keen
interest to academics within the fields of economic geography and
entrepreneurial business, and to those researching technology
transfer processes in various national contexts. It will
additionally be of great use to postgraduate students researching
these processes, as well as policymakers seeking to ascertain how
university spin-offs should be comprehended.
