Technology entrepreneurship refers to business activities that are based on new scientific insights and new technical developments. It describes the process by which enterprising teams and individuals convert new technical knowledge into products and services. It encompasses entrepreneurial pursuits in all fields of engineering and science where progress opens novel ways of creating value. Often, these activities are based on intellectual property, although it may also make sense to consciously pursue an open technology strategy. Entrepreneurial activities in these domains lead to ventures with specific characteristics.
Technology Entrepreneurship in Theory and Practice compiles the essential research knowledge about principles and practices in technology entrepreneurship. Systematically presenting theory and practice for entrepreneurs coming from an engineering or scientific background, the authors assemble a comprehensive overview of the subject and enhance it with their expert viewpoints. The book compiles and summarises available knowledge and approaches to enable engineers and scientists to develop entrepreneurial initiatives.
Technology Entrepreneurship, in Theory and Practice, will find an audience among technology entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists, entrepreneurship educators, executives, consultants, and policy makers worldwide.
“Technology Entrepreneurship in Theory and Practice represents a concise guide for starting a technology or digital business. The advice in the chapters of this edited book will be especially valuable to engineers and scientists with limited business experience. They will see the many hurdles to clear along the path from having a new product idea to running a successful enterprise. Technology entrepreneurs need to understand the marketplace and stay ahead of the competition, while securing investment capital and protecting intellectual property. Successful technology leaders often adopt an agile, learning-by-doing approach, as described in this book.”
Thomas W. Miller, PhD, Northwestern University, Data Science Faculty Director and Instructor in Technology Product Engineering
“Technological innovations and groundbreaking inventions are transforming our world at an unprecedented pace – yet technology alone holds no intrinsic value. True value emerges when technology is leveraged to seize opportunities, design compelling business models, and connect with markets. Entrepreneurs from engineering or scientific backgrounds often face steep challenges in navigating these crucial aspects, encountering business concepts for the first time when launching their ventures. Muñoz and Terzidis have brilliantly addressed this pressing need by crafting a masterful compendium that empowers technology-oriented founders to build their ventures on the solid foundation of cutting-edge entrepreneurship research. This volume is not just timely – it is indispensable, filling a critical gap with remarkable clarity and depth.”
Andreas Kuckertz, Professor for Entrepreneurship, University of Hohenheim
“Technology Entrepreneurship in Theory and Practice is an essential resource for thinking and acting on the transformation of technical knowledge into impactful ventures. The authors expertly bridge the gap between science, engineering, and entrepreneurship. This book is a must-read for researchers, innovators, educators, and policymakers shaping the future of technology-driven value creation.”
