Very happy to have my paper on scaling of science-based ventures published in @JMS_Journal! A short 🧵 explaining the main takeaways onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo…

@shvidkjaer @Altingetdk Godt skriv, Søren. Meget enig. En tilføjelse vil være at tid ikke er det eneste parameter. Man bør også se på hvordan man kan strukturere programmet og sikre god vejledning. Men det er naturligvis mere komplekst end blot at forlænge perioden.

Vi bør reformere phd-uddannelsen for at styrke dansk forskning. Jeg har skrevet en kronik i @Altingetdk altinget.dk/forskning/arti…

Scaleups and high growth firms have been shown to be vital in socio-economic transformation. They do not only create new jobs, but also spur innovation and change. But how do such firms navigate opportunities and challenges successfully? Read online at: bit.ly/3Jxejrt

Personal experience: I shopped a replication papers showing that the famous Piketty and Saez paper in the QJE was sloppily made, had tons of typos and tons of huge historical errors (like omitting that all state/local gov employees didnt file taxes) and told that it didnt matter

When the government suddenly cuts research funds in an area, researchers turn to private sources, like companies, The result is a drop in high-tech entrepreneurship & basic research papers, and an increase in low-quality patents as the results of research become less accessible.

Very cool study showing that teaching business model design, networking and team work helps entrepreneurs a lot. A nice motivational boost for us teaching entrepreneurship 🙂

Once again, hierarchy is necessary and flatter isn’t always better.

@khberglund @JMS_Journal @Marouane_gbg Yes, I would like that. Thanks for the invite! My spring is pretty flexible and Gothenburg is close🙂 Please send me an email and let’s take it from there.

@PeterKalum @JMS_Journal @Marouane_gbg We absolutely should. Perhaps you want to come and present your work in Gothenburg?

@PaavoRitala @JMS_Journal Thanks, Paavo. That sounds interesting! Let me know if you have something you would like to share?

@PeterKalum @JMS_Journal Very interesting, congrats! Our current research on science-based AI startups and their challenges in commercializing fit really nicely to your findings actually 👀

@khberglund @JMS_Journal @Marouane_gbg Thanks, Henrik! That sounds cool, let me know if you want to share or discuss it? 🙂

@PeterKalum @JMS_Journal Very interesting and quite similar to work I’m doing with @Marouane_gbg!

Hence, managers need to plan how to develop the identity. In this regard, my study suggests that maintaining the old identity is problematic. The key is to formulate a new one that fits the rapid change that the venture is undertaking.

The key takeaway for managers is that while it is crucial to secure funding and develop markets, they also need to pay attention to the venture’s identity. When growing, the identity is like that of a teenager: it can be pulled in different directions by its environment.
