Background and Special Issue Purpose
There is a growing interest among policy makers and academics in
transforming results of research activities in economic products. Literature
has evidenced many factors affecting the research and technology transfer
activities of public research institutions and private firms. These factors
can interact reciprocally, causing some regions of the world to become more
dynamic in entrepreneurship (e.g., Silicon Valley) than others. In the rush
to stimulate technology transfer and entrepreneurship, policy makers often
rely on the success stories and prescriptions documented in the literature.
However, international comparative studies among different areas of the
world are rare.
Cross-national diversity reflects the various institutional
constraints stemming from political, legal, and cultural factors.
Institutions have a unique imprint on the dynamics of nations by creating
specific advantages in the entrepreneurial activity of public research
institutes and firms aimed at commercializing their technologies. Comparing
and explaining cross-national diversity requires a detailed analysis of what
guides institutions and how these behaviors shape technology transfer and
entrepreneurship within a region.
The purpose of this special issue is to bring together scholarly
thought from different disciplines to extend extant paradigms and/or to
develop new theoretical frameworks. The guest editors invite authors to
submit theoretical papers, using appropriate disciple-specific tools of
analysis, that revisit and revise existing theory, assumptions, or
perspectives to more accurately reflect the challenges and realities of what
we now know about factors affecting cross-national diversity in technology
transfer and entrepreneurship.
Deadlines, Submission and Review Process:
The Guest Editors encourage submissions of empirical and
conceptual/theoretical nature, which apply an interdisciplinary approach.
Thus, also studies incorporating a sound and well-founded mixed-method
design are welcome. We would like to receive the paper before January 31,
2015. Please submit papers to both Guest Editors using the email addresses
below. A preliminary decision on the status of submitted manuscripts will
be made no later than April 30, 2015.
Authors should indicate in the body of their email that they would
like submission to be considered for the special issue of the Journal of
Technology Transfer on "Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship:
Cross-National Analysis."
