one of the best opportunities for eco-nomic development and growth. New technology ventures are typically led by the originalresearcher or group of researchers. However much recent academic development in technologyentrepreneurship has not focussed on the relatively linear and analytical protocol associated withthe commercialization of such research. Rather, most recent efforts, such as those in [3]–[7], havepresented relatively ad hoc approaches to introducing entrepreneurial concepts to engineers.Though these efforts address the fact that new technology ventures are most likely to be led byscientists and engineers and that these students require proper training, these academic programsdo not address the development of research-oriented
