    Business model and product market strategy in Australian biotechnology entrepreneurial firms: exploratory study
    (Intellectual Property Publishing House, 2008) Dottore, A.; Agius, S.; Corkindale, D.; Annual Conference of the Academy of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (1st : 2008 : Beijing, China); Wu, G.; Gao, J.; Xie, W.; Gao, X.D.; Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation, and Innovation Centre
    The business model (BM) concept is a relatively new subject of academic research, though the term has been used extensively by practitioners. Even with the rapid growth of publications in this area, there remains a vague boundary around the topic and no universally accepted classification. Large scale empirical research on the relative effectiveness of different models is at the infancy stage. This study follows the integrative theoretical approach suggested by Amit and Zott [1] and the empirical approach adopted in Zott and Amit [2] and Malone et al [3]. We replicate [2] and extend it to Australian biotechnology IPOs in 1999-2004, testing the fit between BM design and product market strategies, and their effect on business performance. Early results suggest that the efficiency design theme is appropriate, but that complementary theory is required for a better fit with the industry’s characteristics

    Developing a new business model for enabling research - the case of the ACPFG in Australia
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2006) Agius, S.; Corkindale, D.; Dottore, A.; Gilbert, M.; Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation & Innovation Centre
    The way in which companies, research centres and educational institutions are organised and structured may provide a competitive advantage for commercialisation, in particular if companies are dependent on the deployment of complementary assets and capabilities by third parties. This paper presents the case of the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics (ACPFG), a private agricultural biotechnology (agbiotech) company specialising in early stage Research and Development (R&D) to produce superior adapted cereal varieties, tolerant to abiotic stress conditions such as drought, frost, salt, or mineral toxicity, all of which have a direct and negative impact on plant growth and crop productivity. The organisational structure of the company has been influenced and shaped by Government policy, shareholders expectations and trends in the agbiotech industrial organisation. It has proved attractive to potential alliance partners for collaborative R&D and commercialisation. We present the ACPFG as a new business model to fund basic research and facilitate technology transfer.
