Abstract

This work focuses on the influence of external knowledge via recruitment on the development of academic spin-off (ASO) firms, that is those businesses that are generated by academic staff and are based on results of research conducted within the university. Given the importance of external knowledge for these firms to develop and grow it is important to understand the mechanisms by which such knowledge is internalized and the impact of such knowledge on the firms’ strategies and capability development. This work, by means of a multiple case study research, seeks to shed light on the issue with respect to recruitment processes. Results show that hiring managers and researchers from the external environment is a response to some particular situations. The consequences of these recruitment strategies are also analyzed.

Nächstes Kapitel Coopetition and Open Innovation: An Application to KIS vs. Less-KIS Firms

We must specify that among the founders of Firm L there was a manager with previous experience from the TTO of the university, and that in the first 5 years another manager was hired. However we included Firm L in this group because the role of the two scientists entrepreneurs was far more influential on the development, growth and strategic choices of the ASO.
