Entrepreneurial academics : developing scientific careers in changing university settings
journal contribution
posted on 2009-01-28, 17:19 authored by Joanne Duberley, Laurie Cohen, Elspeth LeesonThis paper examines the impact of entrepreneurial initiatives within universities
on scientific careers. Based on the career accounts of university-based
bioscientists involved in a government-sponsored entrepreneurship training
initiative, the paper explores the concept of academic entrepreneurialism.Three
groups were identified in the data. First, academic entrepreneurs,who tended to
be more experienced scientists and were now able to capitalise on their science.
Second, those interested in technology transfer,who saw their career path taking
them away from science, and finally a group of younger scientists who were
trying to develop their career capital but were unsure what direction their career
would take. The implications of these different groups for the management of
universities and the development of knowledge are considered.
