Providing a general framework about spin-off success factors in complex environments

Spin-off organisations are the main vehicle for knowledge transfer from universities and/or high educational institutions (HEIs) to the economic system. Spin-off firms are complex phenomenon which requires particular conditions to its creation, survival and development. In the last decade, the scientific debate recognised the importance and the role of spin-off organisations, but the main factors and actors that impact on their creation, survival and development are not always clear. This paper aims to fill this gap, shedding light on this black box. In a first step, this research will identify the main 'success factors' for creation of spin-offs.

Critical success factors for business intelligence system implementation

Business intelligence (BI) eli liiketoimintatiedon hallinta auttaa organisaatioita tekemään parempia päätöksiä nopeammin. BI-järjestelmä voidaan nähdä sarjana työkaluja, teknologioita ja ohjelmistoja, jotka tukevat päätöksentekoa. Nämä järjestelmät ovat monimutkaisia ja niiden käyttöönotto sisältää suuria riskejä sekä vaatii paljon aikaa, rahaa ja vaivaa. Tämän vuoksi on tärkeää tunnistaa tekijät, jotka ovat tärkeitä käyttöönoton onnistumisen takaamiseksi. Tämä tutkielma keskittyi tunnistamaan BI-järjestelmän käyttöönoton kriittiset menestystekijät ja ymmärtämään miksi juuri nämä tekijät ovat tärkeitä. Menestystekijät löydettiin ja niitä analysoitiin hyödyntämällä olemassaolevaa kirjallisuu…

Success factors for information technology supported international technology transfer: Finding expert consensus
2006
Information technology (IT)-supported international technology transfer (ITT) is complex, risky, and fails often. No empirical studies are available on the factors that affect the success of IT-supported ITT. We review applicable theories (i.e. diffusion of innovation theory) and empirical research in conventional technology transfer to develop such a model. We carry out a multiple focus group method to rank factors that affect the success of IT-supported ITT and then apply a branch and bound method to derive a consensus ranking of these factors. The identified consensus ranking sheds light on factors that are similar to those of DOI theory and suggests a pattern of factors that affect IT-s…
