The main limitation is the dispersion of research topics and the exclusion of publications that did not address the investigated relationship directly. The theoretical model&nbsp;proposed&nbsp;in this study can be extended to different spheres to identify and generate entrepreneurship opportunities, especially in universities and incumbent firms. Future&nbsp;studies&nbsp;should&nbsp;further&nbsp;validate the model empirically</p> ER -
