Abstract: This article presents a case study of the economic development activities undertaken by members of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Calgary. The study, a linked series of investigations by the authors, had three objectives: to establish the base line conditions at the University of Calgary, to provide guidance for the development of action plans, and to begin establishing a basis for a more extensive, long-term investigation of the subject. The results show that the economic development potential of faculty members has not been fully developed at the University of Calgary and that, for faculty entrepreneurship to flourish, changes in the attitudes of faculty, the types of training and support they receive, and the methods by which faculty are evaluated and rewarded, must be forthcoming.
