Purpose Although earlier research suggests a positive relationship exists between engaging in entrepreneurial marketing activities and firm performance, there may be contingent issues that impact the association. This investigation unpacks the relationship between entrepreneurial marketing behaviour and firm performance under the moderating role of...

This article explores the role of start-ups within entrepreneurial ecosystems in driving the transition towards a circular economy. It emphasises the importance of understanding and supporting circular start-ups for broader sustainability impacts. Unlike established firms, start-ups can readily adopt ambitious circular business models (CBMs) withou...

Influenced by the neo-liberal economic perspective, in which universities are evaluated based on their contribution to society, the term “Entrepreneurial University” (EU) emerged in the early 1980s. The entrepreneurial university has evolved as a “natural” incubator supporting entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability in the university commu...

Science, Technology and Engineering Entrepreneurship Education (STEE) might raise student awareness towards the opportunities seeking challenges of entrepreneurship to promote technology transfer. However, despite the face validity of teaching technology entrepreneurship, there has traditionally been a weak link between the fields of research entre...

Research summary Anticipating that innovation nurtures entrepreneurship, we began an extended case study of an innovative start‐up in the space industry. We quickly saw that institutions imposed formidable barriers to implementing entrepreneurship from innovation. Curious about how, why and the extent of this situation, we widened our study to othe...

This special issue is critical to keeping Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Education in synchrony with the changing landscape resulting from developments in Information and Communication Technology. Six papers address the interaction of these enabling technologies with Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Education. The issue provides the...

This study examines educational frameworks and practices useful in teaching engineers to develop new business models (BM) that exploit entrepreneurial opportunities in technology-based firms. We compare three existing frameworks (Blue Ocean, the Business Model Canvas, and the Business Model Innovation Framework) used to teach how to develop new bus...

This article assesses the performance of a technology business incubator program, established by the French government to support innovative new science and technology-based firms (NSTBF) that seek to commercialize laboratory research results. With a resource-based view and an institutional approach, this study predicts why some incubators may be m...

This article introduces various aspects of technology business incubators (TBIs), emphasizing their increasing role in the spatial context where they are used as platforms and drivers of regional entrepreneurial ecosystems. It outlines the key themes of the emerging role of TBIs in sustainable regional development: TBI biodiversity of ecosystems; a...

This paper investigates the concept of the entrepreneurial university by examining roles of academic entrepreneurship departments in driving regional economic development outcomes. While a wealth of research investigates the role, activities and function of the entrepreneurial university, very little which focuses specifically on academic entrepren...

This special issue aims to shed light on how universities and other organizations can adapt to the new social and technological challenges in curriculum and instruction, thereby, seizing upon entrepreneurial opportunities in the emerging knowledge society. This special issue explores the impact of the digital transformations and social evolution on...

Few researchers have examined empirically the dynamics of human-non-human networking and its importance for strategic outcomes, particularly in the field of entrepreneurship. In this paper, we use Actor-Network Theory to observe and investigate the role of materially heterogeneous entities in the entrepreneurial network. Building on the results of...

This article aims to provide a transaction-based approach to social innovation based on the three modes of transaction coordination and governance as identified by Powell. We produce a grid that explains how social innovation can be implemented in the market, in hierarchies or in networks. This work makes a number of theoretical contributions. Firs...

Most new studies of entrepreneurial networks focus either on the characteristics of the social links at a given point in time during the new venture creation process or on the network's overall contribution. Few examine how a network evolves over time. Entrepreneurial networks are made up of human and nonhuman entities and are two-dimensional, with...

Call for Papers: Special Issue of Technological Forecasting and Social Change Educators are increasingly being called upon to adapt education systems to prepare young scientist and engineers for the broader participation in the global knowledge economy. Entrepreneurship Education needs to meet the challenge of preparing people from non-social scie...

Through this PDW we aim to shed light on how universities are adapting to new challenges to address their most important curriculum and instruction related problems and seize upon opportunities of the emerging knowledge and entrepreneurial society, especially; how entrepreneurial universities have development strong teaching programs for scientists...

Although training and development is recognized as an important means to nurture corporate entrepreneurs in organizations, extant research has focused primarily on efforts to develop entrepreneurial leaders and nurture business creation in a school or university setting. We report on the findings of an inductive case study of corporate entrepreneur...

A critical challenge for entrepreneurship scholars is the need to develop a greater understanding of (1) how, when and why entrepreneurial networks emerge, develop and change over time and (2) how network evolution impacts on the entrepreneurial trajectory. This special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development begins to address these challe...

Les travaux de recherche sur le réseau entrepreneurial ne cessent de croitre. Cependant les connaissances produites sur les dynamiques de construction de ce réseau en fonction du temps restent limitées. Ce constat est encore plus marqué pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à l’étude de la phase ante création du processus entrepreneurial. En prenant com...

Purpose – This paper seeks to advance ongoing research in entrepreneurial perseverance. While the concept of perseverance is not new, few researchers paid attention to behavioural persistence in the entrepreneurial context. The purpose of this paper is to explore the emergence of new technology based firms (NTBF) by focusing on the role of nascent...

This article adopts a resource-based view to help understand why some of the incubators are more successful than others in supporting the development of new science and technology-based firms (NSTBFs). We provide this evidence using an original longitudinal data set collected from a decade-old public incubator programme funded after the passage of...

Étudier les dynamiques de formation du réseau social du créateur d’entreprise doit pouvoir contribuer à une meilleure compréhension du processus entrepreneurial. Une étude longitudinale menée en France...

The authors explore the role played by science and technology parks (STPs) as regional platforms for incubating science- and technology-based businesses. Using multiple case studies of the more established US and French STP facilities, they provide an analysis of the contributions made by STPs as regional drivers of innovative entrepreneurship. The...

Technology business incubators have been around for about half a century. Despite their increasing popularity, one major question that is often raised is the return one gets on these investments. Although most efforts have brought an interesting array of often descriptive accounts in examining incubators’ performance, some do provide conceptual or...

The bulk of research on social networks in entrepreneurship focuses on the nature and characteristics of social ties at a given moment in time or on the contribution of the network as a whole as opposed to its development dynamics. Despite the fact that a number of researchers have sought to explore the role of social networks, only a handful of th...
