Abstract
This doctoral dissertation aims to do the following:
1. Develop the conceptual model of technological entrepreneurship
2. Position technology transfer from academia to new firms in a newly developed
conceptual model of technological entrepreneurship
3. Develop the model of technology transfer from academic institutions to new firms
from the academic/academic-entrepreneur’s point of view
4. Develop a new construct for measuring academic-entrepreneurial engagement
5. Test a model of technology transfer from academic institutions to new firms, from
the academic/academic-entrepreneur’s point of view, using data from respondents
from three different academic institutions (the University of Ljubljana, Eindhoven
University of Technology, and the University of Cambridge)
6. Establish which factors, from the individual point of view, are the most important
predictors of academic-entrepreneurial behavior (academic’s intention to become
an entrepreneur and academic’s entrepreneurial engagement)
7. Establish if there are differences among the three different academic institutions
(the University of Ljubljana, Eindhoven University of Technology, and the
University of Cambridge) in the importance of individual-level factors related to
the establishment of a new firm based on academic research
