The influence of academic capitalism on spin-off activity of subsidiary companies

The article substantiates the importance of conducting entrepreneurial activity by university structures, which pay more attention to research that is in demand in the world. This allows researchers to profit from the important innovation work they perform. Particular attention is paid to the legislative initiatives of the EU and US governments in relation to the consolidation of intellectual property rights for the inventions developed at the expense of the state budget. Positive and negative aspects of academic capitalism development in higher school are considered; its optimistic and pessimistic scenarios for the subjects of the educational market – the state, university structures, faculties, students, and an entrepreneurship sector – are defined. It is established that new innovative high-tech companies are an attractive base for commercializing the results of research and technology transfer, as they contribute to the formation of a competitive industrial structure, the creation of new jobs, and the replenishment of the state budget by providing additional value and increasing the level of competitiveness of the country. The common and distinctive features of such forms of academic separation as spin-out and spin-off companies are determined. The author offers a mechanism for technology transfer and commercialization of results through a spin-off company. The social, economic and innovative effects that take place in the transfer of technologies from the academic industry to industry are described. It is proved that an alternative model for the commercialization of university development, along with the creation of spin-off companies, is licensing without the participation of an educational institution in the company's capital. The statistics of the activities of the world’s largest spin-off companies are given. The author proposes measures that would promote the development of academic entrepreneurship in Ukraine.
