Entrepreneurs From Technology-Based Universities: Evidence From MIT Abstract This paper analyzes major patterns and trends in entrepreneurship among technology-based university alumni since the 1930s by asking two related research questions: (1) Who enters entrepreneurship, and has this changed over time? (2) How does the rate of entrepreneurship vary with changes in the entrepreneurial business environment? We describe findings based on data from two linked datasets joining Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) alumni and founder information. New company formation rates by MIT alumni have grown dramatically over seven decades, and the median age of first time entrepreneurs has gradually declined from about age 40 (1950s) to about age 30 (1990s). Women alumnae lag their male counterparts in the rate at which they become entrepreneurs, and alumni who are not U.S. citizens enter entrepreneurship at different (usually higher) rates relative to their American classmates. New venture foundings over time are correlated with measures of the changing external entrepreneurial and business environment, suggesting that future research in this domain may wish to more carefully examine such factors.

  • Alibaba: Entrepreneurial Growth and Global Expansion in B2B/B2C Markets
    JIntEntrep DOI 10.1007/s10843-017-0207-2 Alibaba: Entrepreneurial growth and global expansion in B2B/B2C markets Syed Tariq Anwar 1 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2017 Abstract The purpose of this case-based research is to analyze and discuss Alibaba Group (hereafter Alibaba) and its entrepreneurial growth and global expansion in B2B/ B2C markets. The paper uses company and industry-specific data and surveys to analyze a fast growing Chinese B2B/B2C firm and its internationalization and expan- sion in global markets. Findings of the work reveal that in a short time, Alibaba has become a major entrepreneurial icon and global player and continues to grow world- wide because of its well-planned business initiatives and B2B/B2C-based business models. The paper also provides implications in the area of international entrepreneur- ship and its related areas. International entrepreneurs need to learn from Alibaba’sfast growing business model and dynamic growth because of its competitive platforms and Web-based strategies which helped the company to target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in global markets. Within the areas of international entrepreneurship and international business, the paper also provides discussion which deals with the changing e-commerce industry and its future growth and developments. El objetivo de esta investigación basada en casos de negocios es analizar y discutir el Grupo Alibaba (de aquí en adelante Alibaba) y su crecimiento empresarial y la expansión global en mercados de B2B/B2C. El ensayo utiliza estadísticas y encuestas específicas a la compañía e industria para analizar una empresa china B2B/B2C y su internalización y expansión en los mercados globales.

  • Evaluation of Government-Sponsored R&D Consortia in Japan
    Chapter 12 EVALUATION OF GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED R&D CONSORTIA IN JAPAN by Mariko Sakakibara 1 Anderson Graduate School of Management, University of California, Los Angeles Introduction Co-operative R&D has been widely celebrated as a means of promoting private R&D, and some see it as a major tool for enhancing industry competitiveness. Co-operative R&D is defined as an agreement among a group of firms to share the costs and results of an R&D project prior to the execution of that project. Co-operative R&D can be executed in many forms, including R&D contracts, R&D consortia and research joint ventures.2 In this analysis, these forms are collectively referred to as R&D consortia or co-operative R&D projects, interchangeably. Japan is regarded as a forerunner in the practice of co-operative R&D. The most celebrated example is the VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated circuit) project, designed to help Japan catch up in semiconductor technology. The project, conducted between 1975 to 1985 with a budget of 130 billion yen (US$591 million) of which 22 per cent was financed by the government, developed state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing technology. All of the major Japanese semiconductor producers participated in this project, and Japanese semiconductor companies gained world leadership after the project. It is widely believed that this success story is only one of many. The perceived success of the VLSI project has motivated other countries to emulate “Japanese- style” collaboration. The 1984 US National Co-operative Research Act was enacted to relax antitrust regulations in order to allow the formation of research joint ventures.

  • Entrepreneurs from Technology-Based Universities: an Empirical First Look
    PRELIMINARY Not for copying, distribution or quotation Entrepreneurs from Technology-Based Universities: An Empirical First Look by David H. Hsu*, Edward B. Roberts** and Charles E. Eesley*** Draft Date: September 2005 Abstract This paper provides an initial analysis of major patterns and trends in entrepreneurship among technology-based university alumni since the 1930s. We describe findings from two linked datasets joining MIT alumni with MIT founder information. The rate of forming new companies by MIT alumni has grown dramatically over seven decades. Women alumni have in more recent decades become entrepreneurs at a faster growth rate than men, but still constitute only 10% of new entrepreneurs. Alumni who are not U.S. citizens also are entering entrepreneurship at a faster pace than their American classmates, but still constitute only 15% of current entrants. The median age of first time entrepreneurs has gradually declined from about age 40 to about age 30. Our results also suggest that rather than examining stable individual traits, future research in this domain may wish to examine business and strategic environment factors. *Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, 2000 Steinberg-Dietrich Hall, Philadelphia PA 19104.

This is not surprising, considering that Korea has a relatively short history of capitalism and that the government played a de- cisive role in the fast industrialization process that began in the 1960s. An important aspect of the economic development strategy of the successive administrations was the creation of large firms in modern industries that realize economies of scale and scope. Many large commercial Korean firms were established by the chaebol system, which crucially depended on the government’s intervention in the financial market. Following the heavy and chemical industry drive of the mid-1970s, the automobile, shipbuild- ing, electronics, chemical, and oil refinery industries, as well as a host of others (including construction), were erected in this manner.1 The government’s involvement has been more direct in the remaining in- dustries that require large amounts of capital to start and maintain the business.
