University spin-offs: entrepreneurship, growth and regional development

ABSTRACT Over the past years, the role of universities has been faced with important changes that led to substantial attention from both researchers and policy-makers to their third mission, labelled ‘a contribution to society’, besides the teaching and research missions. University spin-offs (USOs or ASOs, for Academic spin-offs), emerged among the potential means for universities to pursue the third mission. Research on the creation, emergence, development and scaling up of USOs has grown significantly with contributions from multiple subject areas. This special issue contributes to the research debate by presenting novel insights that deepen and enhance our understanding of the dynamics surrounding the entrepreneurial aspects of academic spin-offs, their growth and their mutual relationship with regional development. The special issue provides rigorous qualitative, quantitative and theoretical investigations to form a research agenda which will help guide future research efforts.

INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND STARTUP IN THE CREATIVE ECONOMY

The paper examines the theoretical aspects of innovative entrepreneurship and startup in the creative economy. An important task of any economy is to ensure rapid economic growth, which is not possible without the use of entrepreneurial innovations. Various aspects of the concept of “entrepreneurship” were considered, namely global, economic, intellectual and professional. The content of the concepts “creative entrepreneurship” and “creative economy” was analyzed. The specific origin of the creative economy is considered. Three types of creative entrepreneurship are distinguished: cultural, social and hybrid. The types of creative innovations are briefly characterized: creation of new products, improvement of previously existing ones, bringing the existing one to a new level, use of new resources, creation of a new structure. It was established that the concept of “startup” is located next to the concepts of “entrepreneurship” and “innovation”. Peculiarities of a startup in the creative economy have been studied. Currently, it is known that the process of creating and developing conditions for developing and offering new products to the market begins at the startup stage. A startup is a newly created organization that uses different types of innovation. Almost all actions of a startup can be considered as experiments that test the chosen strategies. Various forms of organization of creative and entrepreneurial space in the creative economy have common characteristics.

People Aspects of Entrepreneurship: A Meta-Analytic Review and Roadmap for Future Research

Despite the proliferation of research on entrepreneurship and its success factors across disciplines, our understanding of the impact of people and people management on entrepreneurial performance is rather limited. In this article, I conducted a meta-analysis of the relationship between five people dimensions (HR systems, HR practices, HR investment/function, human capital, and social capital) and four outcome dimensions (HR outcomes, operational outcomes, financial outcomes, and new firm-specific outcomes) of entrepreneurial performance to (a) determine the magnitude of the relationship, (b) test moderators of the relationship, and (c) suggest future research directions. The results from 689 correlations (N = 375,221) show that the relationship between people dimensions and entrepreneurial performance is positive and significant (? = .07). More importantly, the meta-analytic correlation differs significantly across several moderators (e.g., types of people dimensions and outcome dimensions, region, and data structure). Among five people dimensions, HR systems are more strongly related to entrepreneurial performance than other dimensions, especially for proximal outcomes (HR and operational outcomes) than distal outcomes (financial and new firm-specific outcomes). Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.

Dark, Down, and Destructive Side: Unveiling Negative Aspects of Unsuccessful Entrepreneurial Action

Studies associated with critical analyses of entrepreneurship education (EE) highlight the predominance of literatures that focus greatly on the positive aspects of entrepreneurship. This can lead to cognitive bias, resulting in students developing more favorable and even enthusiastic perceptions of entrepreneurial action. To reduce this information asymmetry, the intention of this study was to identify and classify the diversity of negative aspects resulting from unsuccessful entrepreneurial action. For this purpose, we applied the content analysis technique to the transcripts of interviews with former entrepreneurs and stakeholders associated with entrepreneurial action, in addition to the texts of articles from important journals of Entrepreneurship and Small Business identified through a scope literature review. The analyses resulted in an artifact in the form of a taxonomy tree (available in https://thetripleds.com), comprising 3 super codes, 10 codes and 38 sub-codes, with definitions and examples of a wide range of negative aspects resulting from unsuccessful entrepreneurial actions. The focus of the artifact is to instruct, discuss and raise the awareness of future entrepreneurs regarding the risks of entrepreneurial action. Therefore, it is useful for professors of disciplines involving EE, as well as managers and technicians at incubators and other entities that provide support for entrepreneurs.

Dark Sides of Entrepreneurship and Innovation: A Conceptual Typology and Research Agenda

Previous research on entrepreneurship and innovation has mainly focused on the positive aspects and neglected the negative ones. Moreover, the research that addresses the negative aspects of entrepreneurship and innovation is spread across different research streams, so the research findings are fragmented, and we do not have a clear idea of what we already know and what we do not know about the dark sides, downsides, and destructive sides of entrepreneurship and innovation (i.e., the Triple Ds). However, without a comprehensive understanding of the Triple Ds, entrepreneurs, businesses, and society are unprepared and without strategies to deal with the predicaments they will face during and after business creation and/or product/service innovation. Based on the literature we identified through extensive backward and forward snowballing, we develop a conceptual 3x3 typology of the Triple Ds of entrepreneurship and innovation. The typology illustrates the lack of knowledge about the antecedents, manifestations, consequences, possible interrelationships, and co-occurrence of the Triple Ds. Based on the typology, entrepreneurship and innovation researchers are provided with seven avenues for future research and recommendations on methodological approaches that will help generate valuable knowledge to advance the emerging research field. The proposed conceptual typology of the Triple Ds of entrepreneurship and innovation supports the development of an independent line of research that addresses the negative sides of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Developing Forest Coffe Cultural Tourism and Historical Heritage Megalitic Sites in Social Innovation Governance: How Does it Work in a Sustainable Way?

This article examines the tourism potential of megalithic civilization and forest coffee from a historical and cultural standpoint. Both have new values, as they provide cultural experiences of Indonesian identity, historical heritage preservation, and local cultural practices. The study investigates the issues of collective value system governance and stakeholder participation using qualitative case studies in determining tourist development success. The study's findings revealed that the program's policy difficulty was incremental rather than transformative innovation. Community groups have linked stakeholder cooperation by acting as innovation champion, liaising with administrative and political leadership, adopting reforms, and creating innovation spaces. Both issues are relevant in terms of governance quality. Organizational changes in the public sector are an important aspect of systematic innovation and entrepreneurship. The topic of values, when approached in a civic-minded iterative manner under collaborative governance, can result in several innovative policies that enable responsible and sustainable tourism development.

Dark, down, and destructive side of entrepreneurship: Unveiling negative aspects of unsuccessful entrepreneurial action

Studies associated with critical analyses of entrepreneurship education (EE) highlight the predominance of literatures that focus closely on the positive aspects of entrepreneurship. This can lead to cognitive bias, resulting in students developing more favorable and even enthusiastic perceptions of entrepreneurial action. To reduce this information asymmetry, the intention of this study was to identify and classify the diversity of negative aspects resulting from unsuccessful entrepreneurial action. To this end, we applied the content analysis technique to the transcripts of interviews with former entrepreneurs and stakeholders associated with entrepreneurial action, in addition to the texts of articles from important journals of Entrepreneurship and Small Business identified through a scope literature review. The findings indicate that unsuccessful entrepreneurial action can result in several negative effects for the entrepreneur, both subjectively (psychological and social aspects - dark side) and objectively (material aspects - downside). The study also identified several negative effects that impact other individuals and society (destructive side). The literature review and interaction with former entrepreneurs and professionals who work with entrepreneurs showed 38 negative aspects in the three dimensions known as “Triple Ds” (dark, destructive and downside). A taxonomy tree was developed that integrates these different types and subtypes, as well as software (https://thetripleds.com/) that makes these contents available. These resources can be used by EE professors, managers and technicians of agencies that support entrepreneurs to raise the awareness of potential entrepreneurs regarding the various risks associated with entrepreneurial action.

Development and adaptation of a methodology for the study of entrepreneurial activity of university students

The purpose of this article is to present the development and adaptation of a methodology for the study of the content and structure of entrepreneurial activity. The questionnaire contains three main scales that allow you to measure the level of financial independence, managerial skills and social aspect of entrepreneurship, which is determined in the context of serving society. Based on the results of the analysis, a questionnaire “The level of entrepreneurial activity of students” was developed and tested on the example of students of the innovation and entrepreneurship University “Turan” in the number of 162 students from among those planning or having their own business. The questionnaire consists of 3 blocks. The first block presents 12 issues related to the use of management tools, strategic approaches, and planning. In the second block consisting of 6 questions, respondents are asked to assess how priority financial well-being is for them, which is the goal of doing business. The third block presents 16 ques- tions reflecting the attitude to business as a service for the benefit of society. The developed technique has good psychometric data. The coefficient of internal consistency of -Kronbach ranges from 0.74 to 0.89 on three scales. The results of the study made it possible to assess which indicators and to what extent are important for students planning to become businessmen in the future. The indicators of the three presented scales correspond to the competencies needed by young entrepreneurs in the context of globalization. The results allow us to conclude that young entrepreneurs are ready to work productively for the benefit of the region, the city, the country, the family and to solve social problems. The practical significance of the development of the methodology is the expansion of diagnostic tools for assessing entrepreneurial activity among university students. Key words: entrepreneurial activity, financial independence, public service, management skills.

Financial Literacy and New Business Entry

Abstract The issue of the relationship between financial literacy and entrepreneurship is still not a fully explored research area. On the one hand, there are common views that financial literacy and education in finance are necessary in every individual’s life, and that an insufficient level of financial literacy may result in erroneous economic decisions. On the other hand, research on the impact of narrowly defined financial literacy on business start-up decisions is still rare. As a result, there are no clear indications regarding the need for education in the area of finance in order to stimulate entrepreneurial decisions, including the survival of launched economic undertakings. This article deals with the relationship between financial literacy and chosen entrepreneurial aspects such as 1) Phases of Entrepreneurial Activity; 2) Entrepreneurial potential; 3) Motivation; 4) Involvement in the technology sector; and 5) Business exit reasons. All of the above aspects are embedded in the context of financial literacy. The article sheds light on the relationship between financial literacy and entrepreneurship and creates a background for further attempts to deepen understanding of this issue.

Political roots leading to opportunity recognition among Latin American social entrepreneurs

PurposeThe purpose of this study was twofold. First, the author sought to more fully understand the role of socio-political activity on opportunity recognition among experienced entrepreneurs. Second, the author sought to better understand how socio-political activism, experience, entrepreneurial passion and social entrepreneurial intention are antecedents. Given the importance of entrepreneurship in the developing nations, there must be an understanding of how entrepreneurs recognize opportunities.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyzes how socio-political activism acts as a foundation on which entrepreneurs can recognize opportunity through entrepreneurial passion, experience and intention. The author utilized a survey constructed of a unique combination of existing and well-researched instruments. Entrepreneurs living in Latin America were surveyed through the web-based survey company Prolific(R). Based on an a priori power calculation, the survey was fielded to 305 respondents with a 100% response rate.FindingsThe model suggests that socio-political activism increases experience, entrepreneurial passion and social entrepreneurial intention among entrepreneurs in Latin America. Further, the model indicates that entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial experience have partial mediation effects on social entrepreneurial opportunity recognition, while social entrepreneurial intention has full mediation effects on social entrepreneurial opportunity recognition.Practical implicationsThe findings of this model suggest that socio-political activism in the developing context provides a model that shows how political activism plays a crucial role in numerous entrepreneurial aspects. Being active politically, gives entrepreneurs greater passion, experience and intention which in turn leads to greater opportunity recognition and mediates the relationship between socio-political activism and opportunity recognition.Originality/valueThe model presented in this research is original and helps shape the paradigm within social entrepreneurship in the developing context. The model also provides additional antecedents of opportunity recognition which may assist with shaping future research in the developing context and how the role of political activism assists the field's understanding of how entrepreneurs recognize opportunities.

Non-fungible token-enabled entrepreneurship: A conceptual framework

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have taken the world by storm. Initially started as an art/game experiment, the NFT has given rise to a new form of entrepreneurship in the virtual world with massive opportunities and affordances. However, research into the entrepreneurial aspect of NFTs and the role of agency in the process is limited. In this article, I examine the concept of NFT-enabled Entrepreneurship (or NFTE). I first identify the main characteristics of NFTs, then define NFTE and discuss the related assumptions, and finally propose a conceptual framework for NFTE and investigate its enablers. I conclude by proposing NFTE as a novel domain of entrepreneurship theory and practice with extensive new research opportunities, and the plausibility of using NFT as an alternative mode of knowledge production in which scholars become “NFT creators.”

Paranoiabox.ru: Russian start-up growth decision dilemma

Theoretical basis The novelty of this case is the multidisciplinary focus where the aspects of entrepreneurship, marketing strategy and finance are mixed together. Students are expected to apply their knowledge of Business Model Canvas and Marketing 4.0, as well as learn about the new type of entrepreneurial finance such as crowdfunding. The setting of this case is novel too – the new quest games industry in Russia. Finally, the novelty of this case is its format where the protagonists’ interview is available as a podcast, and thus, the students will need to review only the tables and the appendices. Research methodology This decision case was field researched by the authors who interviewed the founders of this start-up and the business incubator (BI) director. No information was disguised in any way. Also, the secondary research on the main trends in the development of the international and Russian quest markets was completed by the authors in the preparation of this case. Case overview/synopsis Paranoiabox.ru case presents an entrepreneurial and strategic marketing decision situation. In May 2019, in Moscow, Russia, two young residents of the MGIMO University BI, Anastasia and Max, founded the start-up business called Paranoiabox.ru. This project was a quest in a new format with home delivery: a mixture of escape, detective and board game. The player received by post a box containing various objects. Interacting with them, he/she unraveled the plot thread, found clues and gradually approached the final clue. The game with complex copyright puzzles had a built-in hint system and provided mechanisms for interaction online. By July 2019, 30 boxes for their first quest were sold. The subscribers were waiting for a new quest. Despite the first sales, Anastasia and Max had no budget for hiring freelancers or outsourcing. They were faced with an urgent and challenging dilemma: whether to concentrate on the current product sales and spend all the budget on promotion or, alternatively, to launch a series of new quests and focus on the target market with high brand awareness. There was an additional funding dilemma: should they apply for crowdfunding? Complexity academic level This case is a multidisciplinary case with the aspects of entrepreneurship, marketing strategy and finance. This case is intended primarily for a course in entrepreneurship at the undergraduate or graduate level. This case is also ideal to be used as a capstone project in a degree programme for entrepreneurs.

Digital entrepreneurship platforms: Mapping the field and looking towards a holistic approach

Entrepreneurship is widely advocated as a driver of innovation and economic growth. Given today's technological and digital challenges, digital entrepreneurship in particular is a phenomenon on the rise, both through the digitization of existing businesses and the creation of digital enterprises.Debates on the relevance of digital entrepreneurship have been published in a range of journals that vary in terms of their purpose and readership. As such, scholarly contributions to this topic remain largely fragmented. To address this gap, this review aims to map academic literature on digital entrepreneurship in order to facilitate a better understanding of antecedents and future work. This study combines bibliometric approaches to examine literature on digital entrepreneurship platforms, forming a holistic picture of the field's different aspects and trends. The content and thematic analysis of 97 articles allows us to identify five approaches: i) Digital Entrepreneurship Success Factors, ii) Digital Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Smart Cities, iii) Digital Entrepeneurial Models, iv) Sharing Entrepreneurial Platforms, and v) Digital Platforms about Entrepreneurship Co-creation. Our findings further highlight the various gaps in digital entrepreneurship literature and raise some research questions that warrant future academic research. Our holistic model holds several implications for the theory and practice of the different aspects of digital entrepreneurship.
