Article
The political environment around universities has led them to create an infrastructure to manage academic inventions. While some consider that the advantages of a university entrepreneurial structure outweigh any potential negative effects, others question their detrimental effect on academic scientists’ entrepreneurial behavior. However, this deba...
Article
Assessing gender disparities in science commercialisation has been in the centre of the unresolved debates on the inadequacies of the methods used to compare female and male academics. Drawing from the literature on non–IP-based academic entrepreneurship and gender disparities in science, this study used the “pair-matched” technique to isolate 406...
Article

This article investigates the underexplored phenomenon of technology transfer office (TTO) bypassing in academic entrepreneurship. While TTOs are established to centralize and support intellectual property-based commercialization, a significant portion of entrepreneurial projects avoid the TTO. Relying on both economic (transaction cost theory) and...
Presentation
"Is it profitable to be socially and environmentally responsible? 🌍💼 This question lies at the heart of a pragmatic reflection that has shaped organizational management over the last few decades. When companies choose to market socially or environmentally responsible products, they embark on a path where profit and ethical principles strive to coe...
Article
The inconvenient truth about innovation projects is that they frequently fail. Innovation and failure are so entwined that the probability of failure increases with the intensity of innovation. However, while some innovation projects fail, some organisations also fail to learn from their failures, despite their importance to avoid failure in the fu...

Research in environmental sustainability shows consistently that supervisory support plays a critical role in shaping the work context to create conditions that favor employee eco-friendly behaviors. We investigate the combined effect of supervisory support, trust in supervisor and commitment to the supervisor for predicting employees’ environmenta...
Article
This study combines a data envelopment analysis (DEA) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to assess the research efficiency of Canadian scholars in the management field and examine the combination of causal conditions that might improve/hinder this efficiency. The DEA results indicate that there is substantial room for improvemen...
Article
Pursuing eco-innovation is a fashionable strategy for contemporary firms to both increase returns on investment and display their socio-ecological responsibility by increasing the quality of life through reducing the negative impact on the natural environment. Environmental innovativeness (EI), the eco-innovation capacity, is therefore important. T...
Article
In this study, we examine the role played by job satisfaction in the context of the indirect effect of co-workers' support on eco-helping through commitment to colleagues and helping behaviors. Using a convenience sample (N = 188), our study supports our hypotheses. In accordance with our expectations, the findings from long mediation process analy...

The way that academic researchers assume their roles, and the relationships between them, are in the midst of numerous unresolved public and academic debates for the purpose of improving faculty performance. Two arguments were considered to study the distribution of university faculty’s efforts between their roles. While the first, the “resource al...
Article
This article uses data from 807 scholars from 35 Canadian business schools to look into the extent to which faculty members in business schools create value for companies. An overwhelming 74% of business scholars provide value-adding services and expert advice to companies. However, they do so with companies within a 100 km radius and whose activit...

Studies on publication and citation scores tend to focus mostly on frequently published and cited scholars. This paper contributes to advancing knowledge by simultaneously looking into both high and low performing scholars, including non-publishing scholars, and by focusing on factors increasing or impeding scholarly performances. To this end, two...
Article
Objectives: This paper aims to identify relevant potential predictors of medical genetic counseling for breast cancer (MGC-BC) in primary care and to develop a comprehensive questionnaire to study MGC-BC. Methods: A scoping review was conducted to identify the predictors of MGC-BC among primary care physicians. Relevant articles were identified...
Article
This article seeks to provide more insights on the two-way link between internationalization and innovation by considering total, direct, and reciprocal effects using a nonrecursive structural model. Innovation is defined through product and process development, while internationalization is defined through inward and outward internationalization i...
Article
Knowledge and technology transfer organizations (KTTOs) are crucial nodes connecting suppliers and users of knowledge that support the endogenous potential of innovation in firms. Prior studies on the services provided to firms by KTTOs tend to have weak theoretical foundations, to rely on case study approaches, and to focus attention on one servic...

IT is recognized as a catalyst for higher efficiency and better performance in health organizations. However, due to financial constraints and the expensive cost of commercial solutions, the adoption of health and medical informatics (HMI) has lagged behind expectations. Open source software (OSS) appears as an alternative to reduce the barriers of...
Article
Academic consulting is a form of knowledge and technology transfer largely under-documented and under-studied that raises ethical and resources allocation issues. Based on a survey of 2,590 Canadian researchers in engineering and natural sciences, this paper explores three forms of academic consulting: (1) paid consulting; (2) unpaid consulting for...
Article

Innovation policy instruments in OECD countries are developed from different streams of policies related to the suppliers and the users of knowledge. They are also integrated into different levels of implementation (supranational, national, regional and local). Such complexity leads policy actors and stakeholders to experience a lack of coordinatio...
