Zusammenfassung

This paper analyses ‘‘academic entrepreneurship’’ as a key factor during the creation process of academic spin offs at the Costa Rica Institute of Technology (ITCR). This initiative is the first of its kind and it includes variables such as: personality, skills, professional background and willingness to be involved inbusiness activities. It uses the methodology of case study and key factors proposed by O’Shea R, Chugh H, Allen T (2008) Determinants and consequences of universityspinoff activity: a conceptual framework. J Technol Transf 33(6):653–666.
