NorrisPurpose – This study aims to ascertain the personal characteristics of a group of successful academic entrepreneurs in a South African university enterprise and the prevalent barriers and enablers to their entrepreneurial endeavour. Design/methodology/approach – The authors used a Delphi process to identify and rank the characteristics, enablers, barriers and behaviours of entrepreneurial academics, with a Nominal Group Technique applied to establish challenges they encounter managing their enterprise and to propose solutions. Findings – Perseverance, resilience and innovation are critical personal characteristics, while collaborative networks, efficient research infrastructure and established research competence are essential for success. The university’s support for entrepreneurship is a significant enabler, with unnecessary bureaucracy and poor access to project and general enterprise funding an impediment. Successful academic entrepreneurs have strong leadership, and effective management and communication skills. Research limitations/implications – The main limitation is the small study participant group drawn from a single university enterprise, which complicates generalisability. The study supported the use of Krueger’s (2009) entrepreneurial intentions model for low- and middle-income country (LMIC) academic entrepreneur investigation but proposed the inclusion of mitigators to entrepreneurial activation to recognize contextual deficiencies and challenges.Item Covalent binding of human twodomain CD4 to an HIV1 subtype C SOSIP664 trimer modulates its structural dynamicsNancy Tumba; P Naicker; S Stoychev; Mark Killick; Gavin Owen; Maria PapathanasopoulosItem Shifting the center of gravity for addressing the rising cancer disease burden in Africa A rationale for Africanbased integrative infectious diseases and oncology researchRobert Breiman; Georgia Demetriou; Gita Naidu; Maria Papathanasopoulos; Paul Ruff; Shabir MadhiItem Thymidine Analogue Mutations with M184V Significantly Decrease Phenotypic Susceptibility of HIV1 Subtype C Reverse Transcriptase to IslatravirHyeonah Byun; Maria Papathanasopoulos; Kim Steegen; Adriaan Basson
