[entrepreneurship-phd at lists.uni-due.de]

Call for Papers - International Journal of Entrepreneurship and
Innovation Management  (IJEIM)
Special Issue on: "Innovative University Programs in Technology Business
Incubation"
Guest Editor: Sarfraz A. Mian, State University of New York, USA
Deadline: 30 September 2007

To compete in the new economy, a number of universities have been
actively involved in designing and implementing innovative programmes
for promoting regional innovation and entrepreneurship. Over the past
three decades, one salient approach has been the development of formal
technology business incubation mechanisms. The goal of these
university-based and university-sponsored organisational mechanisms is
to serve as conduits facilitating the spillover of university knowledge
through enterprise creation and commercialisation of research results.

Some of these technology business incubation mechanisms are developed
and run by the universities themselves; others are offered in
partnership with public and private organisations in the community. In
all cases, their objective is to create more comprehensive and
integrative incubation spaces in and around the university campuses
aimed at providing seamless innovation milieus.

This special issue will feature high quality research that explores
various innovative models of these formal university incubation
mechanisms in developed as well as emerging regions of the world.
Preferred submissions will chronicle cases where an entrepreneurial
university serves as the initiator and/or locus of regional innovation
and entrepreneurship.
