HERNANDEZ, Pilar Pérez. Towards a Taxonomy of Academic Entrepreneurship Literature: Contributions for Latin America. rev.univ.empresa [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.41, pp.293-323.  Epub June 13, 2022. ISSN 0124-4639.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/empresa/a.8946.

The emergence of knowledge as an engine of growth places academic entrepreneurship as a catalyst for technological and economic development, which is why it has received growing interest from politicians, university managers, and academics. Although the academic entrepreneurship literature rose and spread since the 1990s, the academic work objects and dynamics have changed. This work makes a taxonomy of the literature on academic entrepreneurship to identify trends, gaps, and areas of opportunity for Latin America. The methodology followed a systematic literature analysis based on regional production. The results suggest that the literature has predominantly focused on changes in university and the transition to entrepreneurial university, the commercialization of university technology, and social factors. However, it leaves aside the individual attributes of the academics who undertake the incentive system and the identification of opportunities for them. This review allowed us to identify areas of opportunity to explore practices and research in Latin America.

Keywords : Academic entrepreneurship; literature taxonomy; contributions for Latin America.
