Responsible innovation among academic spin-offs: How responsible practices help developing absorptive capacity

Responsible innovation (RI) among technology-based start-ups has received little attention, while these firms are known to operate on the edges of what is socially desirable or ethically acceptable. In this paper we develop a conceptual model that captures the RI practices among 61 academic spin-offs and investigate how it affects the capacity...

How University Incubators may be Overprotective and Hindering the Success of the Young Firm: Findings from a Preliminary Study

This paper investigates to what extent university spin-offs benefit from their parent organization. Drawing from the resource based view and social capital theory we identify the support factors that may turn to interference with the spinoffs business goals. This study has a case study approach and data is collected among high-tech university...
