Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2018, vol. 129, issue C, 12-15

Abstract: Today's entrepreneurial scene suffers from dysfunctional startups, a sick venture capital industry, possibly misplaced adulation from the public, and other troubling developments. This Perspective documents a number of current issues in technology entrepreneurship in the USA (many of which apply in other countries as well), offers prescriptions for what higher education institutions can do before, during, and after students' periods of study, and notes some recent and forthcoming events that may, in conjunction with universities' efforts, ameliorate the situation.
