Technologische Ressourcen und das Wachstum akademischer Spin-Offs

  • Chapter
Unternehmertum und Ausgründung

Auszug

Ausgründungen sind eine wichtige Form des Technologietransfers aus öffentlichen Forschungseinrichtungen. Zurzeit ist jedoch wenig darüber bekannt, wann eine Technologie als Grundlage einer Unternehmensgründung geeignet ist und unter welchen Bedingungen das kommerzielle Potenzial dieser Technologie realisiert wird. Auf der Grundlage des ressourcenbasierten Ansatzes entwickeln wir einen Bezugsrahmen zur Bewertung der technologischen Ressourcen (TR) eines akademischen Spin-offs. Wir argumentieren, dass die TR das Wachstumspotenzial des Spin-offs bestimmen. Unter Bezugnahme auf Erkenntnisse der Entrepreneurship-Forschung argumentieren wir weiter, dass eine unternehmerische Orientierung (UO) des Spin-offs die Realisierung des kommerziellen Potenzials seiner technologischen Ressourcen fördert. T-Tests einer Stichprobe von 72 akademischen Spin-offs unter sieben Jahren zeigen, dass bei geringer UO keine signifikanten Wachstumsunterschiede zwischen Unternehmen mit TR hoher und geringer Qualitäst bestehen. Bei hoher UO zeigen Unternehmen mit geringwertigen TR jedoch negatives Wachstum und bei hochwertigen TR positives Wachstum. Dieser Unterschied ist signifikant. Hieraus schließen wir, dass die TR zum einen die Fäshigkeit des Spin-offs bestimmen, erfolgreich zu innovieren, zum anderen aber eine hohe UO notwendig ist, um Wachstumschancen der Kerntechnologie des Spinoffs zu erkennen und zu realisieren. Auf der Basis dieser Ergebnisse leiten wir Implikationen für das Management akademischer Spin-offs und für die ausgründende Herkunftsorganisation ab und geben Anregungen für die zukünftige Forschung.
