Professor Phan has assembled an impressive interdisciplinary set of
scholars who present important evidence on academic
entrepreneurship, with a strong emphasis on the life sciences. This
is a lucid and insightful volume. It represents an important
milestone in the study of the translation of discoveries to the
marketplace, providing important theoretical and empirical
perspectives on what's been learned, what the evidence means to
academics, policymakers, and practitioners, and future directions
for research. A must-read and a critical reference tool for anyone
interested in academic entrepreneurship.' - Donald Siegel,
University at Albany, State University of New York, USAcademic
entrepreneurship is a multifactorial and multidimensional
phenomenon. This book presents research featuring aspects of
academic entrepreneurship at the regional, institutional, and
organizational levels of analysis. Phillip H. Phan and the authors
illustrate that the more interesting aspects of this subject are in
the 'tails of the distribution,' where counter-intuitive findings
from the data call simple theories into question and inspire a
vigorous discussion of alternatives. This edited collection covers
a variety of topics including, but not limited to: - corporate
governance of innovation - technology commercialization in
pharmaceuticals and life sciences - institutional impediments to
technology development and economic growth - economic impact of
universities - academic labor markets and technology
commercialization - translational research and development -
technology commercialization in regenerative medicine. The
contributors also consider the relative value of general versus
specific human capital development and the implications for
entrepreneurship and wealth creation. The audience for this book
comprises PhD students, new scholars in technology
commercialization research, university technology transfer office
personnel, economic development specialists and policymakers, and
students studying the management of technology. Contributors: D.
