Academic Entrepreneurship in Europe Wright, M. Clarysse, B. Mustar, P. Lockett, A. This book advances our understanding of university spin-off creation and development in environments outside the high-tech clusters of the US. While there has been substantial university spin-off activity internationally in recent years, a number of major aspects are little understood. The authors argue that the nature of universities is changing as reduced public funding reflects a public debate on their role in society. An important aspect of this international phenomenon is an increased emphasis on the commercialization of university research and on academic entrepreneurship. These new ventures therefore involve the spinning-off of technology and knowledge generated by universities. The authors adopt a multi-level approach in their examination of university spin-offs. European case studies are specifically selected to reflect the diversity of the institutional environment. In particular, units of analysis involving universities, technology transfer offices, spin-off firms, finance providers and individual entrepreneurs and teams are extensively analysed in quantitative and qualitative studies.

欧洲的学术创业赖特，M.克拉利斯，B.穆斯塔，P.洛克特，A.这本书促进了我们对美国高科技集群以外环境中大学衍生产品创建和发展的理解。虽然近年来国际上有大量的大学分拆活动，但对一些主要方面了解甚少。作者认为，随着公共资金的减少反映出公众对大学在社会中的作用的辩论，大学的性质正在发生变化。这一国际现象的一个重要方面是越来越重视大学研究的商业化和学术创业精神。因此，这些新的企业涉及剥离大学产生的技术和知识。作者采用了多层次的方法来研究大学衍生产品。专门选择欧洲案例研究，以反映制度环境的多样性。特别是，在定量和定性研究中，广泛分析了涉及大学、技术转让办公室、衍生公司、融资提供者、个体企业家和团队的分析单元。
