  Research in Corporate Entrepreneurship

  We are seeking articles and case studies for a Research-Technology Management (RTM) special issue on Corporate Entrepreneurship. \n\nRTM is seeking articles that explore entrepreneurial culture and behavior in established companies. Specific topics may include but are not restricted to approaches for moving a firm toward a more experimental

  entrepreneurial mindset; lean or agile business processes that support entrepreneurial approaches; the design and governance of entrepreneurial teams

  internal finance

  and venture capital structures; the effect of corporate organizational structures such as innovation spaces and labs; understanding how firms develop relationships with startups; and understanding how entrepreneurial initiatives may be sustained over time. Successful submissions will offer readers practical information

  real-world case studies

  tools and frameworks

  and lessons they can put to work immediately.\n\nTo be considered for the special issue

  articles should be submitted by February 1

  via RTM’s Editorial Manager system at www.editorialmanager.com/rtm/. Please select Special Issue Article as the article type and note the special issue title in the appropriate space.

  Academic Entrepreneurs

  This study looks at 400 technology transfer disclosures and their inventors over a 10-year period at a large US research university. We find that faculty productivity in terms of patenting is not related to commercialization success

  but entrepreneurial qualities are significantly correlated. Results indicate that the significant factors in successfully forming a university spin-out are the level of experience of the faculty member and participation in an industry sponsored research agreement. We also find that the academic inventor's entrepreneurial experience and inclination toward commercialization have the most positive impacts on the formation of a new venture.

  Lean Innovation

  A key to effective and efficient R&D is the ability to commercialize new products quickly and effectively while leveraging the advantages of global outsourcing. The growing role of global outsourcing in new product development (NPD) represents a paradigm shift that has had a large impact on innovation and commercialization. In this article the use of outside innovation and commercialization resources

  from contract employees to short-run manufacturers

  is explored.

• The Influence of Collaborative IT Tools on NPD

  Information technology (IT) is the cornerstone of the modern new product development process. A new generation of communication and collaboration tools has propagated into nearly all aspects of NPD. To better understand how these collaborative tools

  such as wikis

  cloud-based file sharing

  social networking

  blogs

  and microblogging platforms like Twitter

  are being used in NPD and what influence they have on NPD outcomes

  we undertook a global study of collaborative IT tool use in 443 firms.

  Despite the potential benefits of engaging with users of social media and the communities that form around them

  a number of studies show that companies are largely failing to realize benefits for innovation
