Factors discriminating between technological spin-offs and research and development personnel / by M.H.E. Atkinson, Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Western Ontario.: C54-1/3-1972E-PDF
"The purpose of this study was to investigate various factors which discriminate between men who have left Research and Development and started their own technologically based enterprise (spin-offs) and men who have remained in Research and Development. Eighty-two subjects, 41 spin-offs and 41 Research and Development personnel participated in this study. They were situated in seven major centres across Canada.

Eleven hypotheses were subjected to analysis, of which six were supported, and the remainder received partial or no support"--Abstract, page ii.
