Abstract

ABSTRACT A significant proportion of academic spin-offs (ASOs) are founded by entrepreneurial teams (ETs). Yet little is known about how these ETs are formed or the role of technology transfer offices (TTOs) in this formation process. This article examines whether and how TTOs affect the formation of academic spin-off entrepreneurial teams (ASO-ETs). To this end, we study in detail the formation of seven ETs behind life-science ASOs developed in one region in Norway. Our findings show that ASO-ETs followed different paths of formation, partly mirroring the organization of the TTOs. We further identify four different roles played by TTOs, two direct and two indirect, that shape the formation of these ETs. Based on organization imprinting theory, we contribute to the team entrepreneurship literature by developing a new framework showing how TTOs imprint the formation of ETs in ASO settings.

技术转让办公室和学术衍生创业团队的形成

相当比例的学术衍生企业(ASOs)是由创业团队(ETs)创立的。然而，人们对这些ETs是如何形成的，以及技术转让办公室在这一形成过程中的作用知之甚少。本文考察了学术衍生创业团队是否以及如何影响学术衍生创业团队(ASO-ETs)的形成。为此，我们详细研究了挪威一个地区发展的生命科学aso背后七个et的形成。我们的研究结果表明，aso - et遵循不同的形成路径，部分反映了tto的组织。我们进一步确定了四种不同的作用，其中两种是直接的，两种是间接的，它们塑造了这些et的形成。在组织印记理论的基础上，我们通过开发一个新的框架来展示团队在ASO环境下如何印记团队的形成，从而为团队创业文献做出贡献。
