Seeking to explore similarities and differences between academic employment andentrepreneurship, we interviewed 112 postdoctoral students from the four major German research organisations and 16 senior transfer managerswhose responsibilities included spin-off facilitation.Our findings indicate that those involved in such occupations often believe that academic employment and entrepreneurship differ substantiallyon many levels. Both interviewed senior managers and postdoctoral students considered engaging in commercialisation activities to be a risky andserious undertaking and a significant career change. Simultaneously, the opinions and observations of postdoctoral students helped us identify awide range of similarities between academic employment and entrepreneurship. Our findings can help make entrepreneurship more accessibleto researchers, re-define the boundaries between scientific and commercial activities, and, ultimately, foster knowledge and technology transfer. 2015 artículo científico 0718-2724 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84742420001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=847 Journal of Technology Management & Innovation application/pdf Universidad Alberto Hurtado Journal of Technology Management & Innovation (Chile) Num.3 Vol.10 |
