Abstract We investigate the role of entrepreneurial origin on firms’ performance by comparing academic spinoff firms with their non-academic counterparts. Academic spinoffs grow through resources accumulation and internationalization; yet they do not translate these advantages into productivity gains. The access to upstream complementary resources appears to play a chief role in explaining the academic spinoffs’ superior performance. Academic spinoffs are contributing to economic development by creating new jobs, but their relevance as a source of sustained economic value is limited so far.

It is generally assumed that the so-called populist explosion that has swept across liberal democracies since 2016 has led to a crisis of neoliberal reason in its original formulation. Owing to the close relationship between cities and neoliberalism, the crisis of neoliberal rationality has significantly impacted what is defined here ‘Western urbanology’. This definition brings together influential apologists of the urban age and its entrepreneurialist potential, starting with Richard Florida and Edward Glaeser. In recent times, these authors have started revisiting their conceptions and related policy proposals, in response to the growing sense of dissatisfaction with mainstream theorisations of economic development that has been associated with the populist explosion of 2016. However, this article shows how their revisions are minimal, and fundamentally illusory, as these authors have glossed over the very foundations of capitalist societies, drawing a veil over the issue of economic-value creation within contemporary platform urbanism. After having critically assessed the trajectory of Western urbanology, the article concludes by arguing that a substantial revision of the role of contemporary urbanism in economic development processes would require interrogating the creation and capture of economic value in today’s capitalist societies.

Purpose – This paper aims to analyse the socio-economic role of museums. Design/methodology/approach – To explore the socio-economic role of museums, relevant literature on the role of museums was reviewed. Books and articles were consulted to shed light on museums as a cultural tourism product offering within the broader context of tourism as a catalyst of societal development. Findings – The literature review revealed that museums are symbols of unity and identity and can serve as a catalyst of economic development of local communities. The article dispels the perception that museums are places where old stuff is stored and that they are at the periphery of societal development. Research limitations/implications – The paper is based on literature review and not an empirical study. Practical implications – This paper proposes that museums should play a more active role in the socio-economic development of society. Social implications – This paper suggests that museums should educate the public about their role and place in society. Most importantly, they should create awareness about the socio-economic opportunities which they create. Thus, museums should position themselves as part of the societal effort to deal with societal challenges and not relegate themselves to the fringes of society. To this end, museums should establish partnerships with other agents of societal development. These organisations include chambers of commerce, educational institutions, government agencies and tourism organisations. Originality/value – The paper dispels the perception that museums are places where old stuff is stored and that they are at the periphery of societal development.

This paper examines the potential role of the Entrepreneurial Universities in the national economic growth. The entrepreneurial universities integrate economic development as a function of teaching and research further. By focusing their research on the economic needs of the society, the results can be immediately exploited in the form of products and services. By including entrepreneurship guidance in their program, the research can be transformed into new enterprises such as start-ups and spin-offs, thus creating new jobs.

The role of the municipal level in the country’s governance system is underestimated. Most of the rural areas are located far from the centers of socio-economic development with no ability for independent budget formation and the management of rural areas is carried out by untrained personnel. The Altai region has the largest number of rural municipalities and has agricultural specialization, so the subject of the article is the problems of rural areas’ development of agricultural specialization at the managerial level. The purpose of the study is to identify and substantiate the most important elements of rural areas to highlight it as an object of strategic planning. The directions and mechanisms of interaction should be taken into account in the complex programs of socio-economic development of rural areas, such approaches will attract investments to the territory, ensure the creation of new jobs and reduce the outflow of population to cities. The Altai territory is one of the pilot regions, where the use of digital technologies in agriculture is actively introduced, which emphasizes the importance of effective development of the region.

In recent years policymakers in a number of American states have chosen biotechnology as a key element in their economic development efforts. With visions of business growth and new jobs, state officials have targeted biotechnology as an important industry of the future. In this paper we focus on the political dynamics that underlay the choice of biotechnology in eleven states. With those states providing examples, we identify three major models of policy choice. The first involves an interest-based process in which state policymakers respond to explicit or implicit pressures from different parties. The second involves a strategic planning exercise in which state officials analyze the economic structure of the state and seek to develop a comparative advantage in the field of biotechnology. And the third starts with a strategic analysis but then relies upon a competitive, interest-based process to determine the allocation of state funds. We conclude by briefly discussing major issues for science policymaking at the state level.
