University entrepreneurial ecosystems are increasingly important in facilitating innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities in today's knowledge-based economies. Howeve[...]

This paper considers why firms differ in the degree to which they rely on their internal RandD organization for generating new technologies (induced innovations) rather t[...]

Research and development encompasses a myriad of activities. Generally, research is the primary search for technical or scientific advancement, and development is the tra[...]

Strategic research partnerships (SRPs) have become a salient feature of the US National Innovation System. We provide an overview of SRPs and examine the antecedents and [...]

The increasing role that universities are playing in supporting national technological infrastructure and the increasing attention that governments are paying towards fis[...]

This paper provides the first empirical information about barriers related to the diffusion of nanotechnology, a general purpose technology. Our analysis is based on the [...]

This paper describes a small, unique set of project data that was assembled as part of a larger study on universities as research partners. Herein, we summarize, to the e[...]

In a recent paper in this Review, Edwin Mansfield illustrated empirically (using a sample of ten petroleum and six chemical firms) that firm rates of productivity change [...]

We offer empirical information on the correlates of commercialization activity for research projects funded through the US National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) Small B[...]

In this monograph I ask: Does university involvement in the research of private firms enhance the firm's private gains as well as society's public gains? To address this [...]

This paper summarizes the technical accomplishments and presents selected measures of research efficiencies and early stage economic impacts of the Printed Wiring Board ([...]

There has been a trend away from basic research toward development spending at all levels within the economy. In constant dollars, basic research peaked in 1953 at 4.2% o[...]

There is a long history of debate about the appropriateness of the National Science Foundation's classification of industrial RandD into the categories of basic research,[...]

In the April 1976 issue of this Journal Mirakhor suggested that an efficient allocation of resources is possible for a profit maximizing monopolist operating under regula[...]

This paper shows that the probability of small business firms obtaining outside financing to support their research and development projects is greater given more complex[...]

A frequently tested aspect of Schumpeter's (1950) theory of growth and development is the relationship between RandD spending and concentration. Although some researchers[...]

We view scientific publications as a measure of technical knowledge. Using the Solow method of functional decomposition and scientific publication data from the National [...]

Dickens (1982) argued that the productivity slowdown since the mid 1960s is cyclical and not a long-term trend. This letter tests the robustness of Dickens' conclusion, s[...]

Question: What do the Department of Homeland Security, Intel, and Disney have in common?1 Answer: The success of each depends on how efficiently they implement new techno[...]

In this paper, we present descriptive findings on the research success of U.S. research joint ventures (RJVs). Using survey-based data of a sample of U.S. RJVs, we build [...]

This paper seeks to distinguish between dynamic and static entrepreneurship. We define the construct of dynamic entrepreneurship in terms of Schumpeterian innovativeness [...]

Edith Penrose noted that firms may need to rely on research joint ventures (RJVs) to acquire access to resources that can help them achieve and sustain a competitive adva[...]

The U.S. government's most recent policy initiative to increase industrial research activity is the National Cooperative Research Act of 1984. Since its passage much atte[...]

The development of disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) faces a number of barriers. Among these are the lack of surrogate biomarkers, the exceptional[...]

A graphical model of co-operative R andD activity is presented, from which outcomes of R andD joint ventures are posited. The analysis predicts that R andD spending will [...]
