大学衍生企业从母体大学、政府、产业合作伙伴、学者发明人等利益相关者所构成的创业支持网络中获取外部资源。基于全国“211工程”大学衍生企业的调研数据,系统探讨了大学衍生企业创业支持网络的构成要素及其有效性,即网络中不同节点的支持要素如何作用于企业的创业导向和绩效表现。结果表明,我国大学衍生企业的创业支持网络并没有形成有效的衔接机制,大学衍生企业的创业导向形成与绩效表现主要依赖于母体大学和政府主导的区域环境,而产业合作伙伴、学者发明人却没有显著的支持效应。同时,企业的治理结构调节了网络中各支持要素的有效性。
University Spin -off Companies (USOs) have obtained external resources from entrepreneurial support network, which was constructed by several stakeholders, including parent university, government, industrial partners and academic inventor. Based on research data of spin -off companies derived from "211 Project" university in China, the paper systematically investigated the elements of USOs' entrepreneurial support network and their effectiveness (how such support elements on different network nodes affect the entrepreneurial orientation and performance of USOs). The results indicated that, entrepreneurial support network of USOs in China did not constitute an effective linked mechanism. The entrepreneurial orientation and performance of USOs mainly depended on the Parent University and governmentled regional environment, while industry partners, academic inventors did not provide significant support effect. Governance structure of the USOs moderated the effectiveness of the above support elements.
