To this end, we followed an exploratory case study approach and conducted qualitative, semi-structured interviews with 40 academic entrepreneurs. The analysis revealed constraints impacting scientists’ active engagement in transfer and entrepreneurship on two levels. On the meta-level, we identified constraints related to: i) nationwide transfer culture and ii) funding guidelines and structures. On the operational level, we identified constraints related to: i) organizational strategies and practices; ii) organizational culture; and iii) individual attributes and attitudes. By analyzing gender differences among these constraints, the study contributes to an understanding of varying needs for gender-specific founding support programs. The study also derives several implications for managing transfer at research organizations.10aacademic entrepreneurship10aacademic spin-offs10agender10aqualitative study10aresearch-based companies1 aSinell, Anna1 aMüller-Wieland, Roda1 aMuschner, Antonia  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/113600788nas a2200289   4500008004100000022001400041245003800055210003500093260004200128300000800170490000600178653002300184653003100207653001600238653001500254653001500269653001600284653001500300653002700315653002400342653001600366653002000382653001700402653002400419100001800443856003700461       2017                        eng d  a1927-032100aEditorial: Insights (August 2017)0 aEditorial Insights August 2017  aOttawabTalent First Networkc08/2017  a3-40 v710aacademic spin-offs10abusiness model development10acar sharing10aincubation10aleadership10aMachiavelli10amanagement10aorganizational culture10aresearch institutes10aresearchers10asharing economy10asocial media10atechnology transfer1 aMcPhee, Chris  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/109401892nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245007800055210006900133260004200202300000900244490000600253520119000259653002301449653003101472653002401503653002101527653001301548653002401561100002301585700001701608856003701625       2017                        eng d  a1927-032100aPromoting Entrepreneurial Commitment: The Benefits of Interdisciplinarity0 aPromoting Entrepreneurial Commitment The Benefits of Interdiscip  aOttawabTalent First Networkc12/2017  a6-130 v73 aThis article is the first to examine the relationship between interdisciplinarity and entrepreneurial commitment in academic spin-offs. Building on literature on interdisciplinarity, academic entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial intention, we analyzed the development of nine interdisciplinary spin-off teams comprising expertise from science, industry, and design. Our findings suggest that interdisciplinary teams engage with their ideas, maintain productive interaction, and successfully implement these ideas. Subjects in this study thoroughly developed their project proposals and implementation strategies by examining them from multiple angles. They believed not only in the value of these projects, but in their own ability to see them through. They found one another’s contributions highly inspirational and experienced a strong sense of responsibility and motivation. Communication within the teams was well managed, and tasks were clearly defined and distributed. Based on our findings, we put forward a number of propositions about the positive effects of interdisciplinarity on entrepreneurial commitment and conclude with implications for future research and practice.10aacademic spin-offs10aentrepreneurial commitment10ainterdisciplinarity10ateam composition10ateamwork10atechnology transfer1 aBrodack, Franziska1 aSinell, Anna  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1123
