This digest reviews entrepreneurship activities among |
|
university and community college faculty and |
|
administrators, citing a number of studies that examine |
|
corporate-university linkages. These studies note that |
|
some faculty act as consultants to organizations, thus |
|
providing an avenue for personal interaction between |
|
industry and academe, or engage in research that leads to |
|
commercialization of a product, which in turn results in |
|
formal research arrangements between the industrial |
|
partner and faculty members. Many patents held by |
|
business corporations, for example, are the result of |
|
work performed in university laboratories. Community |
|
colleges also participate in entrepreneurial activities |
|
by teaching students who may eventually create their own |
|
businesses. The major difference between academic |
|
researchers and industrial entrepreneurs relates to |
|
differences in values. While academic work is done within |
|
a relatively narrow disciplinary focus, entrepreneurial |
|
activities involve linkages between resources and |
|
opportunities and require technical, managerial, and |
|
interpersonal competencies. Such value differences keep |
|
many faculty from participating in entrepreneurial |
|
activities, even though these activities may benefit |
|
their institutions and society at large. (Contains 8 |
|
references.) (JM) |
