| Publisher Description: This book focuses on the phenomenon of University Entrepreneurship in Italy, often referred to also as "valorisation of results from public research", meaning with such an expression a set of different strategies that universities and other PROs can adopt in order to diffuse and (eventually) exploit the knowledge produced into them. In this respect, universities carry on their entrepreneurial activities along many dimensions, among which: patenting, licensing, creation of university spin-offs, incubators and Science and Technology Parks. With regard to the volume structure, Chapter 1 analyses the patenting and licensing activities within the Italian university system; Chapter 2 investigates the significant associations existing between TT inputs and outputs in Italy; Chapter 3 aims at contributing to the ongoing debate on the growth (or non-growth) of Italian academic spin-offs and the potential causes of the observed diversity. |
