Endowing university spin-offs pre-formation: Entrepreneurial capabilities for scientist-entrepreneurs	2020-05-03		.txt	text/plain	14831	663	39	To better understand how science-based university spin-offs can be endowed for success, the pre-formation stage of 30 ventures co-founded over a 40 year period by a star-scientist-entrepreneur is analysed by matching his 363 co-invented US patents granted to 1476 co-authored publications and these 30 ventures. Employing the extended case method, including the analysis of extensive archival data, iterative interviews, and this unique, longitudinal, multi-level dataset, existing dynamic capabilities theory is confronted and extended with evidence as to how a star-scientist-entrepreneur senses and shapes and seizes opportunities to endow university spin-offs pre-formation. A process model was developed, depicting the key role played by the SSE in four pre-formation entrepreneurial capabilities which endow these science-based university spin-offs for success: technology-market matching, claiming and protecting the invention, attracting and mentoring the founding team, and strategic 48 timing.	./cache/cord-255087-fwsicgv1.txt	./txt/cord-255087-fwsicgv1.txt
