Abstract:
Academic spin-offs translate research findings into marketable innovations and are a key mechanism of the Third Mission – the transfer of knowledge and technology from universities to society and the economy. Spin-offs are managed by university Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs). Organizing this function within a subsidiary dedicated to participating in and promoting spin-offs offers legal and operational advantages over internal university structures. Given the limited research and practical experience regarding the optimal design of these external TTOs, this empirical study derives recommendations for the configuration of such external entities.
