Abstract

Research commercialisation of innovative, new scientific and technology knowledge originating from universities and public research organisations depends on the transfer of the entrepreneurial intention of research scientists into actual entrepreneurial behaviour. The scientific research output generated from government funded research and development institutions is not always commercialised through the creation of technology-based firms. Hence, there remains a gap in understanding the factors that influences the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial behaviour of research scientist. This study is based on a literature review to develop the conceptual framework and identify factors that influence the implementation of entrepreneurial behaviour of research scientists to participate in research commercialisation through the creation of technology-based firms. This study contributes to the field of technology-based entrepreneurship by identifying critical factors required for closing the literature gap on the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial behaviour of research scientists.
