Results obtained on a sample of 167 Spanish ASOs show that: 1) the relevance of the KCC capacities varies with the critical innovation events - technical vs commercialization - ASOs face in each stage; and 2) ASOs must modify their networks in order to access the KCC capacities needed in each stage.}, keywords = {Academic Spin-Offs}, keywords = {Innovation performance}, keywords = {Knowledge conversion capability}, keywords = {Networks}, title = {Knowledge conversion capability and networks as drivers of innovation in Academic Spin-Offs}, doi = {10.1016/j.jengtecman.2021.101615}, author = {Sousa-Ginel, Elena and Franco Leal, Noelia and Camelo Ordaz, MarĂ­a del Carmen}, }
