Abstract: Abstract While studies find support that international academic mobility stimulates academic entrepreneurship, we lack understanding on the relation between these two increasingly relevant phenomena. We draw upon the resource-based view to disentangle this underexplored relation and theorize that international academic mobility augments the academics’ identification of entrepreneurial opportunities through the accumulation and processing of external and heterogenous knowledge and that an academic’s interpersonal social network acts as a mechanism through which such knowledge is transferred.
