Zeszyty Naukowe. Organizacja i Zarządzanie / Politechnika Śląska

z. 145

Purpose: The key driver to discuss the topic is a research gap as regards the management of SPEs and TTCs in the innovation ecosystem. Design/methodology/approach: The article discusses a university innovation ecosystem in Poland. It also provides a comparative analysis of the functional management models in the innovation ecosystem with the coexistence of TTCs and SPEs with: 1) separated management functions, and 2) a personal union, i.e. the same person managing TTC and SPE. The following research methods have been used: a participatory observation, a focus group discussion to analyse the collected research material and draw conclusions. Findings: The article presents major benefits and risks for TTCs and SPEs, benefits and risks that are related to specific management models applied in entities responsible for technology transfer and commercialization. It is not possible to indicate which of the two TTC and SPE management models is better or more efficient, since advantages can be achieved with both of the models, provided specific conditions are met. Those advantages are mainly related to the cooperation with the social and business environment of a university. Research limitations/implications: The recommendations contribute to a further discussion on the role of TTCs and SPEs and their relations in the innovation ecosystem, as well as efficient management and assessment of technology transfer institutions. Practical implications: The article provides recommendations for dealing with those risks in each of models identified. Originality/value: The article fills a research gap as regards the management of SPEs and TTCs in the innovation ecosystem.

Application of stakeholder analysis in university-owned special purpose vehicles

Purpose: The key driver to discussing this topic is the research gap in the field of management of SPVs in the ecosystem of innovation and adds the possibility of applying stakeholder theory as a tool supporting their management. Design/methodology/approach: The aim of the article is to indicate the theoretical basis for the application of stakeholder theory as a tool supporting the management of SPVs. The article is based on a review of domestic and foreign literature and analyses the content of reports presenting Polish experiences regarding the performance of university-owned SPVs. Findings: Due to the specific conditions of functioning of SPVs, stakeholder analysis seems to be a useful tool in identifying the expectations of particular interest groups, and subsequently in undertaking actions aimed at effective management of their activities and creating value for the key stakeholders of SPVs. As a result, it may contribute to the increased effectiveness of companies and to more effective use of innovative potential through closer cooperation between science and business in the region. Research limitations/implications: Further research can focus on answers to the question: Are the managers of university-owned SPVs aware of the expectations of their key stakeholders? Practical implications: Stakeholder analysis may be an essential aid for the managers of SPVs in shaping their relations with the environment and building added value for key stakeholders. Originality/value: The article fills a research gap in the field of management of SPVs in the ecosystem of innovation and adds the possibility of applying stakeholder theory as a tool supporting their management.
