| Research Abstract |
The results of this comparative study project elucidated the following 4 points.
(1) With regard to advice obtained from external resources, the percentage of Japanese University spinoffs (hereafter abbreviated USOs) that did not receive any external advice was twice that of the U.K.
(2) With regard to the recruitment of executive staff, Japanese USOs were most dependent on personal networks.
(3) With regard to sources of funding, Japanese USOs relied more on their own capital and government subsidies.
(4) There is a high dependency of Japanese USOs on university.
Japanese USOs were found to be dependent on personal networks and self -funding, and not sufficiently utilize external resources. Even when external resources were utilized, these enterprises tended to be dependent on universities, giving rise to the concern that there are inadequate collaborations with available resources.
