Summary/Abstract: The study is contributing to the development of the existing theory and practice in the field of innovative entrepreneurship through identifying the factors which influence the economic and financial performance and, implicitly, the survival rate of academic spin-off (ASO) and academic start-up (ASU) organizations. The importance of the research is given by the actuality of this subject and by the fact that in Romania it is still a controversial field, considering that there have been no studies about the factors that influence the survival of these two types of innovative organizations. ASOs and ASUs are founded for exploiting the practical results of scientific research which is transferred from the academic environment into the industrial environment for the purpose of being commercialized.
