DESCRIPTION:Prof. David Deeds\, University of St. Thomas\n"Opportunity Rec
 ognition Among Scientists"Abstract\nWe address the question of how context
  affects whether and how scientists recognize commercialization opportunit
 ies.  In recognizing opportunities\, research scientists must bridge the 
 gap between the world of scientific discovery and the world of business an
 d markets. Our model analyzes how individuals’ social context\, specific
 ally the institutional context\, geographic region and personal networks a
 ffect perceptions of potential gain and controllability\, which in turn le
 ad to recognition of commercialization opportunities.   Our theoretical 
 model draws on entrepreneurship and managerial cognition research\, and re
 search on entrepreneurial context\, including institutional and social net
 works perspectives. The model has implications for research in opportunity
  recognition\, particularly in the research science context\, and for poli
 cies designed to increase entrepreneurial behavior.Bio\nDavid Deeds is the
