Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Calgary (Canada), 2002.

The commercialization of academic research has become a subject of increasing discussion as shrinking levels of public funding and the realization of the potential role in local economic development of commercialized academic research have begun to impact the operating environment of many universities (Geisler and Clements, 1995; Mian, 1997). Efforts to capitalize on the assumed potential have not resulted in the desired outcomes. This has been ascribed variously to "culture clash" (Samson and Gurdon, 1993), or "cultural transformation" (Kinsella and McBrierty, 1997, p. 246).

520 $a The commercialization of academic research has become a subject of increasing discussion as shrinking levels of public funding and the realization of the potential role in local economic development of commercialized academic research have begun to impact the operating environment of many universities (Geisler and Clements, 1995; Mian, 1997). Efforts to capitalize on the assumed potential have not resulted in the desired outcomes. This has been ascribed variously to "culture clash" (Samson and Gurdon, 1993), or "cultural transformation" (Kinsella and McBrierty, 1997, p. 246).
520 $a In this exploratory study a theory-based model was used to explore the question: Do personal factors and environmental factors, individually and interactively, influence entrepreneurial behaviours of academic researchers? Hypotheses, reflecting the main and interactive influence of Personal Factors and Environmental Factors on entrepreneurial behaviours of academic researchers, were proposed to investigate hypothesized differences between academic researchers who choose to commercialize the results of their research and academic researchers who do not choose to do so.
520 $a A cross-sectional survey of a large purposive sample of academic medical researchers from five western Canadian universities was undertaken. ANOVA procedures combined with Chow (1960) tests determined that subpopulations based on institutional groupings existed and guided a reordering of the data into institution-based groups. Hierarchical moderated regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses. Mixed support was found for the hypotheses concerning Personal factors and it was concluded that the concepts that underlie those hypotheses could be employed to identify entrepreneurially oriented academic researchers. Virtually no support was found for a hypotheses concerning Environmental Factors leading to the recommendation that the concepts that underlie those hypotheses must be revisited. Overall the findings are troubling and point to deficits in understanding of the circumstances surrounding the commercialization of academic research.
520 $a The deficits in understanding the apparently unique phenomena that attend the commercialisation of academic research are reflected in current theory, policy, and practices employed in the commercialization of academic research. Whereas the finding that differences existed between academe and business was expected, and reflective of Samson and Gurdon's (1993) clash of cultures, the finding of differences among the institutions was quite unexpected and intriguingly suggestive of more subtle dimensions to the culture clash. Most troubling is the apparent substitution of current practice for theory and policy reflecting the observation by MacBryde (1997) that currently the commercialization of academic research is for the most part "learning by doing" (p. 40).
520 $a In summary, current entrepreneurship theory, though providing insights to the participants, processes, and outcomes of commercializing academic research, does not provide a sufficiently well delineated view of those elements to allow the cornucopia of intellectual wealth that is assumed to reside in academic research laboratories to be more fully exploited. It is recommended that if society, the institutions, and the researchers are to more fully benefit from that assumed potential, research into the differences within academe and between academe and business must be undertaken. Furthermore those investigations should initially focus on the deficits of theory, policy, and practice related to the commercialization of academic research; otherwise, the current process, characterized as 'teaming by doing' (MacBryde, 1997) and labeled a 'clash of cultures' by Samson and Gurdon (1993), will continue to influence the commercialization of academic research.
