The main goal of this article is to present statistical correlations as regards the impact of certain determinants on entrepreneurial orientation of academic spin-off companies. The first part presents the definition of academic spin-offs and the most important elements of entrepreneurial orientation of such companies. The second, empirical, part reports the results regarding statistical correlations of entrepreneurial orientation of academic spin-offs. The research was conducted among 141 academic spin-offs. The test of independence and Cramér’s V coefficient were used to diagnose the correlation.

Podstawowym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zależności statystycznych dotyczących oddziaływania poszczególnych determinant na orientację przedsiębiorczą akademickich przedsiębiorstw spin off. W pierwszej części przedstawiono istotę uczelnianych firm spin off oraz zaprezentowano najważniejsze elementy orientacji przedsiębiorczej przedsiębiorstw. W drugiej części empirycznej dokonano analizy wyników badań dotyczących zależności statystycznych orientacji przedsiębiorczej uczelnianych firm. Badania zostały przeprowadzone wśród 141 akademickich podmiotów funkcjonujących w Polsce. Do ustalenia związków korelacyjnych wykorzystano test niezależności oraz dla istotnie statystycznych korelacji wskaźnik V-Cramera.
