FLAGSHIP UNIVERSITIES AS CENTERS OF TECHNOLOGICAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Case. Since the mid-20th century, innovations and new technologies in developed countries have become a powerful driver for sustainable economic growth. According to experts, the GDP growth in these countries is by nearly 90 % ensured through the development of technological entrepreneurship. In Russia, technological (innovative) entrepreneurship is not the basis of economic growth for a number of reasons, which include lacking infrastructure for research and development in order to introduce innovations and implement innovative projects. In this regard, strengthening the interaction of the state, science and business is necessary, a vital role in it to be assigned to flagship regional universities. The article mainly aims at analyzing the potential of a flagship university for the development of technological entrepreneurship (on the example of Volgograd State Technical University) and at developing practical recommendations for innovative activities acceleration in the region. The systematic methodology of the research implies using general scientific methods of analyzing and synthesizing information, content analysis of normative legal acts of Volgograd region in the sphere of innovation regulation and documents on the university’s strategic development, comparative analysis and theoretical generalization, as well as the method of included observation. In addition, within this study, in Volgograd State Technical University there was conducted a survey among students of technical and economic profiles. The total sample of respondents was 135 people. The article analyzes the concept of technological entrepreneurship, reveals the potential of Volgograd State Technical University as a flagship university in the context of technological entrepreneurship development, and outlines the limitations hindering the development of technological entrepreneurship at the regional level. For the successful implementation of research and innovation, human and institutional capacity for the development of technological entrepreneurship in Volgograd region, it is proposed to introduce a set of activities aimed at implementing training programmes on technological entrepreneurship and organizing networking between professional, scientific, and business communities of the region. The conclusions may be of interest to regional universities and to public authorities when creating favorable conditions for the development of technological entrepreneurship.

Factors that drive development of technological entrepreneurship in South Asia

Numerous studies have explored the growth and development of entrepreneurship in general and technological entrepreneurship (TE) in specific in South Asia. Many of these studies empirically validate the influence of different factors in the development of TE. This study attempts to explore the factors influencing development of TE and develop a model utilising total interpretive structural modelling (TISM) technique to depict factors affecting a the development of TE hierarchically using data collected from focus group discussions undertaken with founders of TE. The results add further value to the findings of empirical studies undertaken in this area.

Measuring the Potential for Technology Entrepreneurship Development: Serbian Case

Research Question: This paper explores the potential for technology entrepreneurship development at the country level through the creation of a new composite index. Motivation: Motivation for this paper arises from the fact there is a lack of the composite indices used exclusively for technology management as identified by Jovanovic et al. (2017). Technology indices are mostly used as important components of other composite indices used for tracking a country performance from the perspective of other global phenomena (e.g. competitiveness and innovativeness). The novelty of this paper reflects in the proposed Technology Entrepreneurship Development Potential (TED-pot) index which has multiple significances. It could serve as a help for policy makers in creating national policies; other companies and countries looking for the adequate environment to invest in technology entrepreneurship projects; academics who benefit from a new country-level view on technology entrepreneurship, especially ICT entrepreneurship. Idea: The idea of the paper was to create the TED-pot index to enable the cross-countries comparisons and examine whether the potential of Serbia lies in its entrepreneurial ICT sector. Data: Four indicators included in the created index are measured by the World Bank. The index is applied on six ex-Yugoslav countries and the EU for the period 2009-2014. All the data is collected from the World Bank database. Tools: The final index value is obtained by using the simple weighted function with equal weights. The overall TED-pot has been built upon the equal weighting of the two created pillars: ICT potential (ICT-pot) and Entrepreneurial potential (E-pot). The values for each pillar are calculated by the same procedure, through the simple mean of certain indicators. Findings: According to the calculated TED-pot values, Serbia stands out as a country with the greatest potential for technology entrepreneurship development in the region. Analysing individual pillars, ICT-pot indicates Serbia has very strong ICT sector, far ahead of other countries in the region, while the E-pot values show there is a space for administration to ease and speed up the process of starting new businesses in Serbia. This is a pilot research and the first presentation of the created index, which calls for further investigation. Contribution: This paper expands exiting research related to the country-level measurement in the field of technology management and entrepreneurship, especially focusing on ICT entrepreneurship development.

<p>Development of technological entrepreneurship is one of the strategic priorities of Russia's core universities. A number of universities in the country have already accumulated a certain experience in teaching technology entrepreneurship. Formation of basic universities as centers of strategic development of the region and its single-industry towns requires the development of new approaches to training in technological entrepreneurship. The article deals with the mechanism of constructing an innovative ecosystem that promotes the formation of entrepreneurial competencies in the students of the supporting university. The research is based on the case of the Kemerovo region and features the main characteristics and tasks of the system of teaching technological entrepreneurship in its flagship university, taking into account<br />the strategy and key problems of the region. The paper reveals the key features of teaching technological entrepreneurship in regions with a predominance of mono-profile municipal entities. It introduces potential directions of development of technological entrepreneurial initiatives related to overcoming the mono-dependence of the cities of the Kemerovo region. The results can be used in teaching technological entrepreneurship for the benefit of single-industry towns, as well as in compiling municipal order for educational services.</p>

Analysis Of The Current State Of Technology Entrepreneurship In Russia And Abroad

The paper presents the current state of innovative entrepreneurship in Russia and foreign countries, which occupies a significant share in the creation of GDP in the economies of developed countries, and also attracts researchers from different countries due to the lack of a unified theory of technological entrepreneurship. One of the reasons which prevent raising the level of innovation in the Russian economy is a low level of activity of technological entrepreneurship entities. Features of technological entrepreneurship predetermine the need to develop measures of regulation, financing, etc. adapted to its specifics. The influence of macroeconomic dynamics on the development of innovative entrepreneurship in Russia is shown, and a comparative analysis of innovative entrepreneurship in Russia and the European Union as an example of developed economies is conducted. The presence of cultural and behavioral barriers to the further development of technological entrepreneurship in Russia is revealed, a conclusion is made about the decisive influence of macroeconomic dynamics and the steady development of the institutional environment for the implementation of technological innovation by small businesses.

Разработка алгоритма процесса коммерциализации разработок в научных организациях

The article deals with the notion of "commercialization of technologies" and provides the interpretation of the term given by different scholars. The article examines the existing methods of commercialization of scientific developments. One of the main constraints to the technological entrepreneurship development is the wrongly chosen commercialization form of scientific developments. In addition, existing commercialization methods are not sufficiently effective. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to provide a detailed examination of most commonly used methods of scientific developments commercializing and to develop an algorithm of action in the commercialization process to successfully launch a product on the market. Drawing on prior foreign and Russian studies of commercialization forms, we can identify 7 most commonly used forms of commercialization. The article describes each method in graphical and verbal format, compares various forms of commercialization of scientific developments in line with the factors critical for each model.

PRECONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN UKRAINE

The article is analyzed the existing innovation potential of enterprises in Ukraine in the light of international ratings. It is shown that its level is quite sufficient for the development of technological entrepreneurship and the formation of entrepreneurial ecosystems. At the same time, in Ukraine there is no effective state policy that contributes to the formation of an innovative business infrastructure. Financial, tax, credit incentives for the development of innovation and technology transfer are not working. Mechanisms of protection of intellectual property are inefficient. The system of supporting venture financing is not developing; there are no incentives for attracting private business funds to carry out research and development. Certain structural elements of the innovation system exist, for example, technoparks, venture companies and others, but they are a set of rather heterogeneous elements and therefore generally do not play a significant role in the implementation of innovative projects. The main guidelines of the State and regional policy should be: improvement of legislation in the field of innovative entrepreneurship and mechanisms for its financing, encouraging the opening of small innovative enterprises in universities, the formation of new infrastructure components of the innovation system, in particular, services to promote innovative products to international markets; development of investment and management consulting institutes in the sphere of innovative entrepreneurship, stimulation of stable demand for high-tech products and on the innovative companies with all their developments and intellectual property.

The problem of development of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial education in Russia

Now in Russia the innovative model of development is implemented, so new instruments of innovative project financing are required. Hence, the necessary competences should be formed within the educational system. To study the influence of different factors on venture capital and entrepreneurial activity, the work considers the analysis of the different research papers, which study the determinants of the venture capital development. According to the results of testing, the possible hypotheses are outlined and verified. The analysis was performed on two datasets, which represent the annual data for Russia and the USA from 1994 to 2012. As the influence factors on the VC industry the model uses determinants both used in previous works and completely new. The latter are the level of small business development, the inventors' activity coefficient, and the level of information and communications industry development in a country. As a dependent variable, the total volume of venture investments, transformed into logarithmic scale is used. The result of the paper shows the primary factors of VC and technological entrepreneurship development, which also influence on the demand for entrepreneurial education.

Framework for Technological Entrepreneurship Development: Key Issues and Policy Directions

Entrepreneurship is acknowledged to be a significant driver of national wealth. In this paper, we present a framework for developing technological entrepreneurship particularly for developing countries, with supporting policy directions. Our thesis is that technological entrepreneurship - which exploits existing scientific and technological knowledge to meet market needs – is what brings about the national productivity and competitiveness that entrepreneurship is said to provide. Our framework stresses the fact that the innovation process is facilitated by technological entrepreneurship which is in turn pre-conditioned within the context of favourable policies, institutions, financial and institutional support.

The transformation from entrepreneurship to technology entrepreneurship development in Malaysia

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss Malaysia's industrial development since achieving its independence in 1957 to 2007. The industrial development in Malaysia has gradually shifted from mere trading type of activities to technology based entrepreneurial activities.Design/methodology/approachThe transformation of Malaysia's industrial development from entrepreneurship to technology entrepreneurship is studied by applying the World Bank framework introduced by Bessant et al. The improvised framework has eight key dimensions that are developed as the key activities of technology entrepreneurship to assess the presence of technology entrepreneurship activity during the study period.FindingsThe initiation of the government's heavy industrialization drive in the 1980s had given rise to the growth of the manufacturing sector, and consequently, the implementation of public policies and government programmes in the 1990s have led to the shift of the economy from labor intensive manufacturing to high technology with higher value added activities. The findings thus indicate that the government's effort and support through the implementation of different policies and various state‐led programmes have basically driven Malaysia's entrepreneurial activities to be technology oriented.Research limitations/implicationsAs for the limitation, it is represented by the difficulties in identifying the key technology entrepreneurship activities and using them to analyze the entrepreneurship development at the macro level. Having analyzed at the macro level, this study hopes to contribute to the policy makers in drafting the government policies strategically so as to foster the growth of technology entrepreneurship in Malaysia generally, and to develop capabilities in particular industrial sectors.Originality/valueThe paper provides an overview of the industrial development in Malaysia as a background to the discussion on the transformation to technology entrepreneurship development.
