Harrison R. T. and Leitch C. Voodoo institution or entrepreneurial university? Spin-off companies, the entrepreneurial system and regional development in the UK, Regional Studies. University spin-off companies occupy a prominent position in both government and university policies and aspirations for the commercialization of university research for economic benefit at regional and national levels. However, most university spin-off companies start small and remain small, reflecting founder aspirations, capabilities, and resource endowments. Based on detailed analysis of university spin-offs in Northern Ireland, it is concluded that these companies are technology lifestyle businesses not dynamic high-growth potential start-ups, and it is suggested that the prominence given to spin-offs in the analysis of technology transfer and in discussions of the economic impacts of universities is misplaced. Harrison R. T. et Leitch C. Une institution vaudou ou une université entrepreneuriale? La création d'entreprise, le système entrepreneurial et l'aménagement du territoire au R-U, Regional Studies. La création d'entreprise par les universités jouit d'une importance de premier plan pour ce qui est des politiques du gouvernement et des universités, et vu l'aspiration de commercialiser la recherche universitaire pour en tirer un profit économique au niveau régional et à l’échelle nationale. Cependant, la plupart des nouvelles entreprises créées par les universités sont de petite taille et continuent de l’être, ce qui reflète l'aspiration, les capacités et la dotation en capital du créateur. A partir d'une analyse détaillée de la création d'entreprise par les universités situées en Irlande du Nord, on conclut que ces entreprises–là sont des entreprises technologiques par styles de vie et ne sont pas des créations d'entreprise dynamiques à croissance forte. On laisse supposer aussi que l'importance accordée à la création d'entreprise dans l'analyse du transfert technologique et le débat sur l'impact économique des universités s'avère déplacée.

Voodoo-Institution oder Unternehmertum an Universitäten? Spin-off-Firmen, Unternehmenssysteme und Regionalentwicklung in Großbritannien, Regional Studies. Spin-off-Firmen von Universitäten spielen in der Politik von Regierungen und Universitäten sowie bei den Bestrebungen zur Kommerzialisierung der universitären Forschung für einen wirtschaftlichen Nutzen auf regionaler und nationaler Ebene eine wichtige Rolle. Die meisten universitären Spin-off-Firmen sind jedoch zu Beginn und auch später von geringer Größe und reflektieren die Bestrebungen, Fähigkeiten und Ressourcen der Gründer. Anhand einer detaillierten Analyse der Spin-off-Firmen von Universitäten in Nordirland ziehen wir den Schluss, dass es sich bei diesen Firmen weniger um dynamische Start-up-Firmen mit hohem Wachstumspotenzial als vielmehr um technologische Lifestyle-Unternehmen handelt und dass die starke Beachtung, die Spin-off-Firmen bei der Analyse von Technologietransfer und in den Diskussionen über die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen von Universitäten finden, fehl am Platze ist. Technologietransfer Spin-off-Firmen Unternehmenssystem Regionalentwicklung Unternehmertum an Universitäten Harrison R. T. y Leitch C. ¿Institución vudú o universidad empresarial? Empresas spin-off, el sistema empresarial y el desarrollo regional en el Reino Unido, Regional Studies. Las empresas spin-off universitarias ocupan un lugar destacado en las políticas gubernamentales y universitarias así como las aspiraciones para la comercialización de la investigación universitaria para el beneficio económico a nivel regional y nacional. Sin embargo, la mayoría de empresas spin-off universitarias comienzan como empresas pequeñas y siguen siendo pequeñas, lo que refleja las aspiraciones y capacidades de los fundadores y las dotaciones de recursos. Basándonos en un análisis detallado de las empresas spin-off universitarias en Irlanda del Norte, concluimos que estas sociedades no son empresas emergentes dinámicas con un alto potencial de crecimiento sino empresas de estilo de vida tecnológico, y sugerimos que la importancia que se otorga a las empresas spin-off en los análisis de transferencia tecnológica y en las charlas sobre las repercusiones económicas de las universidades queda fuera de lugar.
