Technological entrepreneurism: children of regions, nations and academia

摘要

Technological entrepreneurs can be differentiated in numerous ways. One of these ways is by viewing their development from various stimuli such as the region, nation or academic institution that serves as their nucleation point. This paper presents a model of the impact of the basis for technological entrepreneurial development based on location. The technical parents and grandparents of a technological innovation are the outputs of various enterprises, public, private and academic. These enterprises in many instances, in their way, serve as the progenitors of new technological enterprises. These incubators of technological entrepreneurism have both academic centers and resources where technological enterprises tend to cluster. Established and new technological enterprises tend to cluster in these regions to take advantage of pools of highly skilled workers and the collection of technology resources. This paper discusses the various factors that lead to technological entrepreneurial development.
