Entrepreneurship and innovation are increasingly viewed as key
contributors to global economic and social development.
University-based entrepreneurship ecosystems (U-BEEs) provide a
supportive context in which entrepreneurship and innovation can
thrive. In that vein, this book provides critical insight based on
cutting-edge analyses of how to frame, design, launch, and sustain
efforts in the area of entrepreneurship. Seven success factors were
derived from an in-depth analysis of six leading, and very
different, university-based entrepreneurship ecosystems in North
America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. These seven success
factors are: (1) senior leadership vision, engagement and
sponsorship; (2) strong programmatic and faculty leadership; (3)
sustained commitment over a long period of time; (4) commitment of
substantial financial resources; (5) commitment to continuing
innovation in curriculum and programs; (6) an appropriate
organizational infrastructure; and (7) commitment to building the
extended enterprise and achieving critical mass. Based on these
success factors, the authors provide a series of recommendations
for the development of a comprehensive university-based
entrepreneurship ecosystem. This major assessment of how best to
drive university-based entrepreneurship ecosystems is essential
reading for anyone involved in higher education (particularly
provosts, deans, and professors), government agencies concerned
with socio-economic development, and all those concerned with
helping entrepreneurship ecosystems to flourish. Contributors: J.M.

As we move further into the 21st century, increasing emphasis is
being placed on the importance of technology transfer. Through new
research and practices, scholars, practitioners and policymakers
have made great strides in broadening our understanding and ability
to implement technology transfer and commercialization processes.
The fruit of that research is collected in this timely volume.
Technology transfer is a dynamic area of study that examines
traditional topics such as intellectual property management, the
management of risk, market identification, the role of public and
private labs, and the role of universities. This volume reflects on
how government, business and academia influence technology transfer
in different countries and how the infrastructure of a country
enhances technology and contributes to each country's overall
economy. Interpreting and adopting the processes of technology
transfer and commercialization - or, building innovative ecosystems
- is critical to seeing success in this digital age. Those leading
the surge toward building innovative ecosystems for technology
transfer are the fellows of the Institute for Innovation Creativity
and Capital (IC2 Institute) at The University of Texas at Austin.
Global in its scope of solving market economy problems, for this
volume the Institute has focused its lens on accelerated
knowledge-based development. Here, scholars from 13 countries come
together to critique technology transfer from each of their
respective nations. The results of their contributions lend
innovative insight to exactly how different nations are working to
maximize technology transfer and commercialization in uncertain
times. Those with an interest in commercialization and technology
transfer, from students to scholars, practitioners to policymakers,
will find this important collection of great value. Contributors:

Filled with impassioned logic and musicality, John Sibley Williams'
debut collection strives to control the uncontrollable by
redefining the method of approach. In these compact poems, so edged
in dark corners and the strenuous songs of beauty and identity,
Williams establishes a unique world of contradictions and
connections that bridge the foreign and the familiar. Moving
through art and history, through apocalyptic visions and family,
into and back out of the paradox of using language to express
languagelessness, Controlled Hallucinations weaves universal themes
and images with the basic human reality of touch, word, and what is
lost in their translation.
