1 High tech entrepreneurship from a regional and individual perspective 1 (Entrepreneurship: des déterminants régionaux des créations d entreprises dans le secteur des ICT aux déterminants de l entrepreneuriat académique) ************ Frank Lasch, GSCM-Montpellier Business School 2300, Avenue des Moulins Montpellier Cedex 4, France f.lasch@supco-montpellier.fr Introduction The study of entrepreneurship lacks a comprehensive framework (Gnyawali & Fogel, 1994) and has an eclectic flavour (Freytag & Thurik, 2007; Verheul, Wennekers, Audretsch & Thurik, 2002; Wennekers, Uhlaner & Thurik, 2002). Authors conduct research on different levels of analysis (individual, organizational and regional) and we observe broadly six themes in literature (Ucbasaran Westhead & Wright, 2001): Theoretical antecedents, type of entrepreneur, entrepreneurial process, type of organization, outcome, and external environment. This presentation deals with a specific type of high tech entrepreneurship (Information and Communication Technologies, ICT) and focuses on two of the six prominent themes cited above: regional environment and types of entrepreneurs. Understanding the drivers or barriers of new firm formation at a regional level is crucial for the strategic management of regions. But even if a considerable outpouring of literature emphasized the importance of the region as level of analysis for the study of entrepreneurship and location principles in the new economy (Scott, 2006), little empirical research is available when it comes to understand regional predictors for new ICT firms. Entrepreneurial opportunities in the ICT sector are synonym with a high risk of failure (Lasch, Le Roy & Yami, 2007). Even if a huge body of literature exists, those studies deal with survival and growth factors (predictors of success) linked to human capital, organizational or environmental issues. Paradoxically, few studies apply sector specific approaches or focus more specifically on the ICT entrepreneur. But empirical findings are crucial to clarify characteristics of entrepreneurs starting their business in the ICT sector, to identify profiles and to build typologies as a base for designing entrepreneurship support programs of local, regional and national governments for individuals engaging entrepreneurship in this sector. In consequence, we formulate two research questions: (1) Where does high tech entrepreneurship happen? - Here we describe and explain regional determinants for new ICT firms. (2) Who is the high tech entrepreneur? - Here we present a typology of ICT entrepreneurs and we explore in more detail one of the four types (academic entrepreneur). 1 This presentation stems from empirical work published in the International Journal of Entrepreneurship & Small Business, including earlier versions presented at the 2008 and 2010 European Council of Small Business (ECSB) and International Council of Small Business (ICSB) conferences. 1
2 Summary of Part 1 (1) Where does high tech entrepreneurship happen? 2 ************************** Globalization is expected to challenge location principles and the firms relation to space, but paradoxically we observe that an increasing attention is given to cluster and geographical proximity phenomena. This paper analyses the role of regional determinants of the location decision of new entrepreneurs in the French information and communication technologies (ICT) sector. In France, we find a strong tendency of ICT firms to cluster and we explore why geography and location matters for an industry initially expected to evolve with little constraint to space. We identify and measure regional determinants of ICT entrepreneurship and provide empirical findings for entrepreneurs and other economic actors. Focusing on the emerging period of this industry, our data set includes every new ICT firm in France in the period The regional pattern of new ICT firms suggested the value of Marshall-Arrow-Romer logics, but our results give rather support for Krugman and Porter principles. Performing multi regression diagnostics, we find evidence for co-location with incumbent firms (geographical proximity), endogeneous entrepreneurship capital, but obtain surprising results for human capital and little effect of university knowledge spillovers. ICT entrepreneurship reveals to be relatively independent from structural agglomeration advantages like physical infrastructure, but depends much on local market opportunities and client-customer interaction with large firms. Keywords Entrepreneurship, ICT sector, regional factors, local environment, geographical proximity, France JEL Classifications L26, L63, L86, M13, O30 2 Earlier versions of this part were presented at the 2010 ECSB and ICSB conference: - Lasch F., Robert F. & Le Roy F Where do innovations happen?

3 Summary of Part 2 (2) Who is the high tech entrepreneur? 3 ************************** 2.1 Towards a typology of entrepreneurship in emerging high tech industries This study addresses a paradox: stakeholders agree upon the strategic importance of ICT entrepreneurship, but little research provides empirical results to understand the ICT sector/entrepreneur. Analysing 469 entrepreneurs, the following specificities of ICT entrepreneurship in France were revealed: sub sector differences, regional disparities, underrepresentation of female entrepreneurs, high qualification as prerequirement, insufficient preparation activities, low level of entrepreneurship training, and surprisingly high proportion of necessity entrepreneurship. At the sub sector level, four groups of entrepreneurs are identified: experienced cadre, freshman, well prepared provident, and kamikaze. The expert with industry experience contrasts with the inexperienced freshman. The careful preparer ( provident ) displays a more technical profile, little management experience but the highest level of preparation of all four types. His opposition is the kamikaze: lack of specific knowledge, low education level, little preparation. Implications for stakeholders (entrepreneurship support, venture capital) are suggested to assess and adjust measures for each type of entrepreneur. Key words High tech; information and communication technologies (ICT); entrepreneurship; description of entrepreneurs; types of entrepreneurs; typology of entrepreneurs; France. 3 This part is drawn from an article - Robert F., Marquès P., Lasch F. & Le Roy F Entrepreneurship in emerging High-Tech industries: ICT entrepreneurs between experts and kamikazes.

4 2.2 The academic high tech entrepreneur: are there differences between research university and university of applied sciences spin off s? 4 Research on the institutional-level determinants of academic start-up activity is mostly focused on Research Universities. Examining German Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS), this article illustrates that there are also other types of institutions of higher education which not only comprise a valuable potential for academic entrepreneurship, but which are also externally expected and internally committed to breeding innovative start-up companies. Based on a number of secondary data sources, findings reveal that Research Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences are characterized by a number of idiosyncratic features which shape both the quantity and quality of knowledge and technology based start-up activity in specific ways. We analyze determinants for entrepreneurship for both types of universities (86 research universities and 99 UAS). Our findings suggest that Research Universities and UAS bear complementary functions for innovative start-up activity in the German innovation system. The article concludes with implications for future research and perspectives of research on the processes underlying academic start-up generation. Key words Entrepreneurship; Germany; Knowledge and technology based start-ups; Research Universities; Universities of Applied Sciences; Academic spin-offs; entrepreneurship support policy 4 This part is based upon - Heumann S., Schmude J. & Lasch F Academic entrepreneurship in knowledge and technology based industries: Fundamental determinants at German research universities and universities of applied sciences.
