Despite advancements in knowledge production, the impact of different ownership structures on university innovation—particularly technology commercialization (TC)—remains a topic of ongoing debate requiring further inquiry. In China, the introduction of a mixed ownership (MO) policy has altered the traditional institutional ownership structure by allocating partial patent ownership to university inventors. Within this context, this paper examines the fundamental question: How does the emerging MO policy influence TC and is this ownership structure more effective in promoting university TC? Focusing on universities that participated in the central government's MO pilot program between 2017 and 2022, this study employs a difference-in-differences (DID) approach to assess its impact. The findings reveal that: (i) the MO policy catalyzes a shift toward an inventor-led commercialization path, empowering researchers to directly engage with market opportunities, while leaving the institution-led path largely unaffected. (ii) internal commercialization support is essential in enhancing the policy's effectiveness. (iii) MO preserves the integrity of academic research, countering concerns that commercialization efforts may compromise scholarly activities. Furthermore, the analysis reveals differentiated effects of the policy across various university characteristics. These findings could shed light on the theoretical relationship between patent ownership and university innovation, contributing to the understanding of MO and its impact on TC, IP management and innovation ecosystem in a general perspective.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 103259"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144107251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methodologically, this paper adopts a historical approach because it is particularly adaptable to a) assessing success on clearly evaluated facts at several time horizons and b) using rich, longitudinal, well-controlled data related to how management occurred in the past. This paper thus discusses the strategic role and inner functioning of corporate research at General Electric, AT&T Bell Labs and DuPont. These four cases demonstrate that successful corporate research can be attributed to the existence of simultaneous and bidirectional links between corporate research, strategy, new product development and the scientific community. These sixfold links constitute conditions for corporate research that are strategically and scientifically relevant. The results show that, contrary to widespread belief, 1) research is carefully integrated into the firm's strategy, and 2) GE, AT&T and DuPont provide examples of the fruitful interaction between fundamental research and new product development that leads to new products and scientific breakthroughs.

Grounded in Agency Theory and Resource Dependence Theory, we analyze data from 239 new venture firms in China to offer novel insights into how crowdfunding models—equity, reward, donation, and lending—shape entrepreneurial behaviors. Our findings reveal that equity-, reward-, and donation-based crowdfunding positively influence EO, fostering greater innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking. Conversely, lending-based crowdfunding constrains entrepreneurial activities due to the repayment pressures it imposes. Digital transformation emerges as a pivotal factor, amplifying the benefits of equity- and reward-based crowdfunding while mitigating the negative impact of lending-based crowdfunding on EO. Surprisingly, digital transformation exerts limited influence on donation-based crowdfunding, underscoring its unique dynamics. This research advances our understanding of entrepreneurial financing by highlighting how crowdfunding, when strategically aligned with digital technologies, can serve as a catalyst for entrepreneurial growth in emerging economies. It offers significant implications for theory and practice, particularly for ventures navigating resource-scarce environments and leveraging digital tools to achieve competitive advantage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 103255"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144071495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results demonstrate that the use of non-coercive power plays a positive mediating role. Furthermore, project-specific knowledge complementarity significantly impacts the use of non-coercive power more than project-generic knowledge complementarity in an NPD project. However, as project complexity increases, project-generic knowledge complementarity has a more positive impact on the use of non-coercive power in the project.

Recent ESO research highlights the collaborative role of entrepreneurs and incubator management in constituting business incubation as a dynamic entrepreneurial context.

This study addresses this gap by examining how conflicts arise as entrepreneurs and incubator management collectively construct an incubation context while engaging in new venture creation. We adopt an interpretive, qualitative approach employing thematic analysis of the primary data collected through a year-long ethnographic inquiry at a TBI. We examine the case of a nascent entrepreneur housed in a TBI operating in a large technology-focused academic institution in India and leverage the institutional logics literature as the theoretical anchor. The study reveals that the conflict between an incubator and a nascent entrepreneur arises due to (1) an entrepreneur's non-identification with institutional norms, which encapsulates role conflict and incompatibility with the incubator's values and prescriptions, and (2) compartmentalized upholding of the institutional practices as a result of partial adherence to incubator's process and entrepreneur's opportunistic behavior. It contributes to business incubator literature by theorizing the conflicts between an entrepreneur and incubator management during co-creation of an incubation context. We also present a framework for entrepreneurial embeddedness in the social context of a TBI and inform discussion about the dynamic process of embeddedness in an institutional context. Finally, we articulate best practices or organizational mechanisms that incubators can deploy to reduce or alleviate tensions between themselves and incubated entrepreneurs more constructively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"144 ","pages":"Article 103252"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143921948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs a configurational approach (fsQCA) to examine how individual and team-level antecedents interact to facilitate the recognition of disruptive innovation opportunities through team learning processes (intuition, interpretation, and integration). Drawing on field data from 65 teams, we identify three distinct configurations: Sharing-integrated, Improvisation-inspired, and Star-led. Specifically, teams can proactively recognize disruptive innovation opportunities through collective wisdom, which is generated by sharing and integration within the team, inspired by a learning process of improvisation, or catalyzed by the guidance of star performers in the team. This study contributes to the existing literature on disruptive innovation by elaborating how teams can collaboratively and creatively recognize disruptive opportunities through learning processes.
