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. To   conclude, policy implications for the future successful development of   spin-offs are identified.  This fascinating book will appeal to a   wide-ranging audience including academics, policy makers, researchers and   practitioners with an interest in academic entrepreneurship and university   spin-offs, and, more generally, in business and management and   entrepreneurship.
