University-Industry collaboration (UIC) literature is largely documented with Western European or North-American evidence, where universities are rich in resources and have well-developed R&D infrastructure. Likewise, our knowledge remains limited about UIC in emerging countries, where research resources and R&D are scarce. In this article, we addr...
Research findings highlight the need to complement scientific literature on Entrepreneurship with studies about the individuals drawn to Spin-Off companies as employees. These individuals are known as Joiners. Scientific literature on organizational learning suggests that individuals, other than the founders in entrepreneurial teams gain knowledge,...

Over the last decades, the University Technology Transfer Offices (UTTOs) literature has focused on how technology transfer contributes to economic development and only a few studies have focused on social development. This study explores how UTTOs transform into ambidextrous organizations capable of simultaneously addressing economic and social ch...
The academic literature on entrepreneurship has focused on studying universities due to their crucial role in regions’ economic development. This is due to the organizational capabilities that allow them to be not only manufacturers of ideas but also promoters of entrepreneurial thinking that facilitates the creation of new ventures. However, despi...
Universities have not always played a leading role in the economic development of regions through entrepreneurship. This is because they have evolved over time from being organizations dedicated solely to teaching and research. Previous studies have focused on how universities adopted an entrepreneurial orientation. This chapter explores the pathwa...
Teaching social entrepreneurship at universities has increased considerably in the
last decade (Beugré, 2016; Surie and Groen, 2017). This is partly because social entrepreneurship has the capacity to address social problems in highly innovative ways and contributes to the sustainability of the planet (Wakkee et al., 2019; Zahra and Wright, 2016)....
Social Entrepreneurship constitutes a crucial driver of social innovation
(Hall, Matos, Sheehan, & Silvestre, 2012). This is due to the fact that social entrepreneurs use creative business models to resolve social and environmental challenges (Evans et al., 2017). By doing so, they develop much-needed innovations for contemporary societies, positiv...
Purpose: Despite growing scholarly interest in academic entrepreneurship (AE) few studies have examined its non-commercial aspects and how it contributes to meeting grand societal challenges. One explanation for this may be the continuing focus of AE on intellectual property commercialization. This paper aims to address this knowledge gap by uncove...
Most of the relevant studies in Academic Entrepreneurship attempt to explain the importance of the role of universities in economic growth. A reason for the above is that universities generate research-based intellectual property, which can be later transferred to the industry or transformed into a university spin-off company. However, the scientif...
La voiture de société est, sans aucun doute, un des avantages de toute nature (ATN) les plus fréquemment proposés par les entreprises à leurs employés. Combien compte-t-on de voitures de société en Belgique ? Quels sont les profils des usagers ? Et quels sont les impacts sociétaux, environnementaux et économiques de cet « avantage » ?
Although Academic Entrepreneurship (AE) is considered an engine of development and economic growth, the study of Latin American AEs and their Entrepreneurial Intentions (EI) is relatively new. The literature on the EI of academics is vast for high-income countries, while for the context of middle-income countries, literature and empirical research...

In this paper presented at the Le Méridien Cambridge-MIT, we show how we created a mobile application for Android devices that allow us (and to anyone) to identify and map water risks in favor of improving the quality of...
