This is the 25th volume in the Advances in the Study of
Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Economic Growth, which has led
the field with insightful and forward looking perspectives on
topics for 25 years. Papers in this volume focus on topics,
perspectives, challenges, and visions of scholars in the area of
entrepreneurship as well as in ethics in light of dramatic changes
across the global environment of entrepreneurship and innovation.
This volume builds a body of scholarship specific to ethics and
entrepreneurship by providing the latest perspectives on how ethics
is impacted by or impacting the entrepreneurship field. Scholars
examine the most current topics, perspectives, challenges, and
visions in the area of ethics and entrepreneurship and reflect the
sense of urgency and commitment to creating a generation of ethical
entrepreneurial leaders. The contributors have created a framework
for the ethical challenges involved with entrepreneurship and
innovation within today's global environment.
The new disruptive age in technology has presented a strategic game
changer for most organizations. The severe modifications in
complete industries and unpredictable market conditions have
created significant challenges for simple organizational survival,
let alone providing an avenue for growth, innovation, and new
ventures. These conditions have fostered a greater need for
corporate innovative activities and a better understanding of the
corporate entrepreneurial process within such an environment. This
volume focuses on the greatest challenges that exist in Corporate
Entrepreneurship in this disruptive age, and explores the
complications posed by the dynamic environment that all
organizations of today are forced to confront. It addresses the
need for a better understanding of the role of external
socio-cultural, economic and market conditions upon the managerial
and leadership decisions and actions in pursuit of Corporate
Entrepreneurship strategies.
This volume presents some of the most important 'debates' that
exist in the field of Entrepreneurship today. It brings together
leading scholars, deriving contributions from special sessions
designed by the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers
(GCEC) to discuss both sides of these 'great debates'. Topics
include: "Is the Business Plan Really Dead and Should It Be," "Does
the Lean Start up Deserve all the Hype?" "Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
- Weak Metaphor or Genuine Concept?" "Teaching vs. Doing - Is there
a Role for Lecture and Content in Entrepreneurship Education?"
"Should Centers Be Controlled Centrally?" and "Is a Bachelor's
Degree in Entrepreneurship Worth It?".
We are pleased to present this 2nd edition of Technological
Innovation, originally published in 2008. Profiting from
technological innovation is a key strategic challenge in
technology-intensive industries because it requires not only
scientific and engineering expertise, but also an understanding of
how business and legal factors facilitate commercialization. This
volume presents a multidisciplinary view of issues in technology
commercialization and entrepreneurship. Chapters cover
commercializing inventions in the context of the legal system and
the complementary assets needed; the benefits and liabilities
associated with multidisciplinary commercialization teams,
including a basic guide to patents and designs; elements of
strategy, including industry analysis and strategy, marketing
strategy, and alliances; and finally, the financial issues in
commercialization.
Innovation is a central mechanism in the progression of society and
often captures the imagination and enthusiasm of corporate leaders,
public policy makers, and so on. However, the cultural, political
and social complexities of innovation that extend beyond economic
and technological contexts are often overlooked. In this volume, a
novel approach to deeply understanding innovation in contexts that
range from the socio-cultural to the technological is presented.
The fundamental principles and constructs of innovation are
identified and described according to an interdisciplinary lens
that gives particular focus to a variety of historical examples of
innovation. This exploration leads to the development of a learning
model that serves as an alternative to mainstream innovation
curricula.
This volume, comprised of authors from the U.S., Canada, Africa,
and Europe, centers on the development, transformation, and role of
geographic /regional economies-- specifically in the globalized,
post-2009 era. The authors address topics that every region must
consider in responding to idea age, globally competitive,
regionally driven economies. The volume builds on a large body of
scholarship specific to regional economic development and geography
by providing a much needed post-2009 perspective on regional
economic environments and activities. Among the topics addressed
are the emergence and boundaries of new economic geographies; the
actors, characteristics, and functions of regional innovation
systems as well as the opportunities and challenges associated with
region-specific cultural and environmental interactions. It also
examines the relationship of regional economies to diminishing
country based economies and the critical relationship to
globalization.
Successful technology commercialization requires the integration of
multiple perspectives and collaboration of experts from very
different backgrounds. More often than not, key individuals in the
process reside in different organizational units--each with their
own mission, agendas, and cultures. This volume addresses the
challenges that can arise when individuals from technical,
business, and legal environments must converge on the goal of
commercialization. Specifically, it brings together studies from
organizational behavior, marketing, economic, and sociological
perspectives on commercialization of university technologies.
Chapter foci range from theoretical research on academic
entrepreneurship, multidisciplinary student team management
conflicts such as background, purpose, communication, and learning
style, to a patent data examination of sociological factors in
technology paths in nanotechnology innovation. New results are
presented on career goals of PhD scientists and engineers
highlighting their desire for education providing skills from these
other domains. Educational responses such as cross disciplinary
team models, as well as multidisciplinary entrepreneurship centers
and specialized masters programs for scientists are presented.
The complex global environment for entrepreneurship and innovation
has experienced significant change during the past decade requiring
a deeper understanding of economic, capital, technological,
environmental, and social forces in order for this generation to
realize sustained success. University based entrepreneurship is at
the nexus of this environment. Students of entrepreneurship and the
faculty that are educating the innovation workforce are uniquely
positioned as agents in the movement of discovery and innovation.
This volume seeks to demonstrate how the entrepreneurship field
looks to reshape and prepare tomorrow's highly sophisticated
entrepreneurial generations. ASEIEG is a product of organized
university-based entrepreneurship programs through the Global
Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC). The GCEC stands as
the premier leadership organization addressing the emerging topics
of importance to the world's university-based centers for
entrepreneurship. GCEC has become the principal vehicle by which
the top and emerging centers can work together to share information
with one another in advancing and strengthening the contributions
and impact of individual centers.
