Today I’m juggling some notes from last week’s Summer School in Entrepreneurship at the Max Planck Institute of Economics. Among the interesting presentations, Melissa Cardon was speaking about entrepreneurial passion, Arvids Ziedonis held an in-depth discussion about the development of University-Industry relationships in the United States and in particular the role of innovations and patents following the Baye-Dohle act in 1980. Norris Krueger talked about the emerging research strand of “neuroeconomics” and “neuroentrepreneurship” (is it the future or simply a fad? – I remain undecided). In all, it was a splendid week with lots of interesting conversations, good food, and inspiring speakers.

Hi. Karl – glad you are keeping a skeptical mind re neuro…
I’ll add your feed to Google Reader!
Don’t forget about the Dangerous Paper – I have a few more notes, almost enough to send you a starter of an outline for it. This could be a lot of fun!
p.s. I’m glad people were able to follow the Bayh-Dole Act discussion. It was a long time ago, but only recently getting attention. I got some nice takeways from Arvids’ talk for my next white paper/blog entry.
