Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice
Preprint / Working Paper
Weaver, M. Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice

Evaluating supply chain problems is important yet complex; with vast amount of research and practice using a simulation based approach. However, the least understood aspect of a simulation study is the critical step of ‘conceptual modelling’. This pa...

Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine. Edinburgh, Scotland

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.

These challenges are especially... Read More about Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine.

Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities.
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities. Edinburgh, Scotland

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’... Read More about Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities..

The Uniqueness of Stem Cell Ecosystems
Preprint / Working Paper
Bock, A., & Johnson, D. The Uniqueness of Stem Cell Ecosystems. Israel

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.
