This book discusses the various paths and decisions that the entrepreneur will experience on their journey, as well as insights and tools to prepare them for it.
Entrepreneurial Decisions
The core of this books focuses on the researchers and scientists who made an entrepreneurial decision: to work closely with the companies that commercialize technology, to become founders of new ventures, or to become founders and executive management of new ventures.
Entrepreneurial Capacity
The authors also discuss entrepreneurial capacity–whether individual characteristics and skills match the requirements for a new venture. And they look specifically at the entrepreneurial academic--university scientists who have had success in entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurial Journey
The authors propose a simple framework for mapping entrepreneurial journeys, so that students can learn from the experience of other peers and colleagues. In addition, the authors have provided both tools and insights to help students on this journey.
Role Identity
To see how inventing entrepreneurs can preserve scientific identity through the entrepreneurial transformation, the authors revert to a discussion on the individual’s role identity.
