Features: This book presents pioneering research on the behavior of core figures in China's high-tech entrepreneurial enterprises—technopreneurs. The main content includes: issues related to the transformation of scientists from technical expertise to business management, such as the motivations for the shift, the "bad habits" to overcome, and the stage-specific patterns; the network relationships of technopreneurs, which highlight the regularity in establishing and developing their networks; the complex changes during the growth of high-tech enterprises and the patterns of role transformation for entrepreneurs. These research findings enrich the theory of entrepreneur behavior and provide significant reference value for promoting the growth of technopreneurs in China and the development of high-tech industries. As support for theoretical and empirical research, the book also includes case studies of the behavior of 10 typical technopreneurs. This book can serve as a teaching reference for graduate and undergraduate students in management programs, as well as for MBA students. It also holds important reference value for entrepreneurial entrepreneurs and technical and managerial personnel in enterprises.
