| Tiivistelmä: | In several universities, heads, administrators and faculties aim at increasing the propensity to engage in commercialization of research activity through the spinoff of new companies. This paper integrates dimensions of academic (here as: acad.) entrepreneurship (as: ep-ship.) to develop a more systemic understanding of spinoff activity at the university level. Using the case of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S., presented is a systemic analysis. The inter-related factors having contributed to successful acad. ep-ship. in MIT are identified. It is argued that MIT's success is based on the science and engineering resource base at MIT, the quality of research faculty, supporting organizational mechanisms and policies (such as MIT's Technology Licensing Office), and the MIT's culture of encouraging ep-ship. The MIT success is suggested to be understood in the context of the local regional environment. It is argued that although the case of MIT can be learnt from by administrators and academics, the efforts at transposing or replicating single elements of MIT's model may only have limited success. |
