Entrepreneurial Dynamism and the Built Environment in the Evolution of University Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (2019)
Journal Article
Johnson, D., Bock, A. J., & George, G. (2019). Entrepreneurial Dynamism and the Built Environment in the Evolution of University Entrepreneurial Ecosystems. Industrial and Corporate Change, 28(4), 941-959. https://doi.org/10.1093/icc/dtz034

University-centered entrepreneurial ecosystems (UCEEs) are complex webs of entrepreneurs, researchers, institutional support structures, and the built environment. We study the relationship between the built environment and the dynamism of the behavi...

Regenerative Medicine Venturing at the University-Industry Boundary: Implications for Institutions, Entrepreneurs, and Industry (2018)
Book Chapter
Bock, A. J., & Johnson, D. (2018). Regenerative Medicine Venturing at the University-Industry Boundary: Implications for Institutions, Entrepreneurs, and Industry. In A. Raval, P. Hematti, & E. Schmuck (Eds.), Cardiac Extracellular Matrix (213-236). Cham: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-97421-7_12

Regenerative medicine research at university laboratories has outpaced commercial activity. Legal, regulatory, funding, technological, and operational uncertainty have slowed market entry of regenerative medicine treatments. As a result, commercial d...

Regenerative Medicine Ecosystems and the Built Environment at Entrepreneurial Universities (2017)
Journal Article
Bock, A. J., & Johnson, D. (2017). Regenerative Medicine Ecosystems and the Built Environment at Entrepreneurial Universities. Proceedings - Academy of Management, 2017(1), 11914. https://doi.org/10.5465/ambpp.2017.11914abstract

In some technology-intensive sectors, high discovery costs, specialized knowledge requirements and long time frames favor research centralization around research universities. In the case of regenerative medicine, uncertainty about downstream market... Read More about Regenerative Medicine Ecosystems and the Built Environment at Entrepreneurial Universities.

Entrepreneurial behaviour and the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems under uncertainty: Essays on regenerative medicine venturing at the university-industry boundary (2016)
Thesis
Johnson, D. Entrepreneurial behaviour and the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems under uncertainty: Essays on regenerative medicine venturing at the university-industry boundary. (Thesis). University of Edinburgh. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1174449

Entrepreneurial ecosystems are an important economic consideration but remain an understudied phenomenon. In particular, research emphasising the role of the entrepreneur within entrepreneurial ecosystems is scant. Entrepreneurial universities, parti...

The Uniqueness of Stem Cell Ecosystems (2016)
Report
Bock, A., & Johnson, D. (2016). The Uniqueness of Stem Cell Ecosystems. Israel: Coller Institute of Venture

While Univenture ecosystems present an exciting vision for economic development, policy and practice should be grounded in reality. The truth is that a limited number of hyper successful university spin-outs hide real challenges and mediocre economic... Read More about The Uniqueness of Stem Cell Ecosystems.

Coping with uncertainty: Entrepreneurial sensemaking in regenerative medicine venturing (2016)
Journal Article
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. J. (2017). Coping with uncertainty: Entrepreneurial sensemaking in regenerative medicine venturing. Journal of Technology Transfer, 42(1), 33-58. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10961-015-9465-0

Entrepreneurs face multiple sources and types of uncertainty during venturing activity. Converting novel or speculative opportunities into viable commercial businesses requires entrepreneurs to address or even leverage uncertainty. This process is es...

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: Fixing the Triple Helix (2015)
Journal Article
Bock, A. J., & Johnson, D. (2015). Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: Fixing the Triple Helix. European Business Review, 73-76

In knowledge-intensive fields, new ventures live or die within entrepreneurial ecosystems. This article shows how policymakers can nurture entrepreneurial ecosystems to fix broken triple helixes at the university-industry (U-I) boundary. The authors...

Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities. (2015)
Report
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. (2015). Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities. Edinburgh, Scotland: Young Company Finance

Universities can drive entrepreneurial ecosystems, especially in high-value technology sectors. Nowhere is this more evident than in regenerative medicine (regenmed), which is centred on academic stem cell research. Over the past three years, we’...

Report
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. (2014). Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine. Edinburgh, Scotland: Young Company Finance

While most major research universities promote entrepreneurial approaches, few provide the resources, training, or career support to sustain a productive start-up environment and drive regional economic development.
