Institutionalizing entrepreneurship education in CDIO-based project courses
Purpose This study examines how entrepreneurship education can be sustainably integrated into engineering programmes by analysing a fifteen-year case of a mandatory entrepreneurship component embedded in CDIO-based project courses at a Swedish university. It addresses the challenge that many entrepreneurship initiatives in engineering remain elective or poorly connected to technical studies. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative single case r…
An overview of the literature on Science and Technology Parks, focusing on sustainable management opportunities – The internal aspect of sustainability
This paper explores the key factors influencing the successful management of Science and Technology parks (STPs) through a review of the literature. By synthesising academic research, it examines how STPs ensure sustainable operations and identifies internal and external factors shaping their planning and management.

Studies point to both health-related risks and opportunities, which have implications for the social and economic lives of entrepreneurs and employees in small and new firms. Research has been carried out in different disciplines, which have contributed in different ways to the understanding of this inquiry. As the fiel…
Science Parks and talent attraction management

The underlying rationale is how the links with universities can be supported and how the Science Park management can contribute to successful relationships with universities and university students/alumni, in order to develop tenant firms and the park itself. A quest…

Transferring Good Practice beyond Organizational Borders
Klofsten M., Heydebreck P. and Jones-Evans D. Transferring good practice beyond organizational borders: lessons from transferring an entrepreneurship programme, Regional Studies. This paper examines the transfer of a ‘good practice’ entrepreneurship initiative from Linköping in Sweden to nine other regions. It shows that the success of transferring ‘good practice’ is dependent on various preconditions in respect of the sender and recipient system…
The innovating region
This paper sets forth a model of knowledge‐based regional development conceived as a set of multi‐linear dynamics, based on alternative technological paradigms. Utilizing longitudinal data from a Swedish region, and international comparisons, four stages of development are identified: Inception, Implementation, Consolidation and Renewal. Innovation policy is created ‘bottom‐up’ as an outcome of ‘collective entrepreneurship’ through collaboration …
Entrepreneurial Intent among Students in Scandinavia and in the USA
An application of the theory of planned behaviour is developed here to analyse factors influencing entrepreneurial intent among university students. The study provides a test of the robustness of the intent approach using international comparisons. The samples are from Finland (Helsinki University of Technology), Sweden (Linköping University), USA (Stanford University and University of Colorado, Colorado Springs), and the UK (London Business Scho…
