  • 1.  Request for help on assessing a university's "entrepreneurial contribution"

    Posted 10-17-2007 23:23
    I am interested in carrying out a survey of our university's grads from the past couple decades, and across all disciplines, in order to assess our university's "entrepreneurial contribution" to our city and province (e.g., number of start-ups, employees, industry domains, etc.). Can anyone direct me to any studies, projects, surveys, etc. of this nature that be useful in planning such a study? Please send your responses to rlitz@cc.umanitoba.ca. Thank you.

    Hi Reg:
    There are some studies that may be relevant, in the realm of assessing
    the economic impact of university technology transfer. You might want
    to look at these MIT-based studies:

    Two non-academic studies

    BankBoston. 1997. MIT: The Impact of Innovation. Special Report of the
    BankBoston Economics Department. Retrieved 1/15, 2004, from
    http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/founders/


    Pressman, Lori, Sonia K. Gutterman, Irene Abrams, David E. Geist, and
    Lita Nelsen, "Pre-Production Investment and Jobs Induced by MIT
    Exclusive Patent Licenses: A Preliminary Model to Measure the Economic
    Impact of University Licensing. Journal of the Association of University
    Technology
    Managers, 1995, Volume VII: 49-82.

    and Scott Shane has published several articles based on the MIT
    experience, although these are obviously addressing broader research
    questions:

    Shane, Scott (2002). Selling University Technology: Patterns From MIT.
    Management Science,
    48(1), 122-138.

    Shane, Scott and Stuart, Toby. (2002). Organizational Endowments and the
    Performance of University Start-ups. Management Science 48(1), 154-171.

    Don
