      abstract = {This book discusses the importance of developing  routinized behaviours in new venture development,  explicitly highlighting the unique challenges that academic  spinoffs face in this vital step towards successful  business creation. During the early development stage, new  ventures are informally established and have few routines  that inform organizational performance. However, the  process of new venture development is characterized by high  ambiguity; for example, entrepreneurs have to deal with  ill-defined technologies that are only vaguely understood  or delineated. They also need to gradually make sense of  the connections between technological functions, customer  preferences and market structures. At the same time, during  the early stage of new start-ups, experiences tend to be  personal, embodied in specific individuals, such as the  founder or founding team. Benefiting from these experiences  and developing successful businesses that can exist  independently of these individuals requires that these  experiences become embedded in the form of routines.  Presenting primary and empirical research, the author  delivers a framework for the routinization of behaviours,  demonstrating the challenges and opportunities that can  intervene in this process. Finally, the author brings  together implications that academics and practitioners can  take and apply in their own ventures. Ziad El-Awad is a  researcher at Sten K Johnson Centre for Entrepreneurship-  Lund university. His research explores the routinisation of  task work in new ventures and the role that entrepreneurial  ecosystems play in supporting new ventures' development. In  addition, his research unpacks enterprising activities in  and around entrepreneurial ecosystems and identifies  policies and economic implications of such activities.},
