This volume contains eight articles by business scholars from the US, Europe, and New Zealand, who examine different aspects of academic entrepreneurship. They describe a framework to evaluate
how universities are engaged in entrepreneurship, as well as its effects; a theoretical model of the process of academic entrepreneurship, focusing on motivation, governance, selection,
competition, and performance; an example of a forward-looking educational program for entrepreneurs from the perspective of resistance; factors that underlie successful entrepreneurial
ecosystems and the university as the driver of venture creation and regional economic development; the role of Chinese National Technology Transfer Centers in stimulating the commercialization
of university research findings; how universities are complex contributors to entrepreneurial ecosystems; different categories of academic patents for researchers; and the role of the business
plan in the startup scene. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
