| Popis: | The paper identifies ‘knowledge equity’ as the central resource on which the competitive advantage of industry and, increasingly, of countries is based. This new perception of knowledge — embedded in intellectual capital — as a form of equity is at the heart of what we believe to be a new and distinctive paradigm shift. This ‘techno-academic paradigm’ — reflected, for example, in the central role of campus companies in the development of the information technology sector in the United States — identifies the higher education (HE) sector both as a generator of knowledge equity and as an implicit risk-sharing framework within which the full potential of campus companies can be exploited. The paper provides the first systematic evidence of a new technological entrepreneurialism within the HE sector in Ireland, as manifest in the growth of campus companies. In effect, the paper argues that the culture and focus of the HE sector is being reshaped by its new catalytic role in the generation, application and diffusion of knowledge. |
