The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Ahead of Print. Academic spinoffs have received great attention in recent years as a means of transferring the knowledge generated by the research activities of higher education institutions (HEIs).

This study theorises on the relevance of EO within the context of universities and how such an orientation may drive the founding and development of academic sp ..read more
