  Autonomous Vehicles: The Rubber Hits the Road...but When?

  William Kerr, Allison Ciechanover, Jeff Huizinga and James Palano

  The autonomous vehicles have enormous implications for business and society. But, despite the many headlines and significant attention paid to the technology, truly autonomous vehicles still seemed a long way from reality. Students will learn about the complex industry, explore the factors influencing development and commercialization, and think about the views and responses of a range of affected stakeholders. They will also be put in the shoes of decision-makers looking for signals to predict future adoption and prepare for the disruptive change ahead.

  Immigrant Networking and Collaboration: Survey Evidence from CIC

  Sari Pekkala Kerr and William R. Kerr

  Networking and the giving and receiving of advice outside of one’s own firm are important features of entrepreneurship and innovation. We study how immigrants and natives utilize the potential networking opportunities provided by CIC, formerly known as the Cambridge Innovation Center. CIC is widely considered the center of the Boston entrepreneurial ecosystem. We surveyed 1,334 people working at CIC in three locations spread across the Boston area and CIC’s first expansion facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Survey responses show that immigrants value networking capabilities in CIC more than natives, and the networks developed by immigrants at CIC tend to be larger. Immigrants report substantially greater rates of giving and receiving advice than natives for six surveyed factors: business operations, venture financing, technology, suppliers, people to recruit, and customers. The structure and composition of CIC floors has only a modest influence on these immigrant versus native differences.
