This poignant study presents a collection of research on
entrepreneurship and community engagement. The context of this book
is Syracuse University s award winning model of Scholarship in
Action with its emphasis on sustainable campus community
entrepreneurial partnerships and its resultant 'Syracuse Miracle',
the transformation that has occurred in the Central New York
community thanks to the university s partnership with the community
to drive social, environmental, and economic development. Broken
into three engaging sections, this book introduces appraisals of
technology entrepreneurship and community engagement; community
engagement and entrepreneurship; and entrepreneurship, engagement,
and new models of education. The first section includes chapters
that focus on successful corporate university partnerships,
programs to champion student technology companies, and new models
for supporting technology transfer. Section two concentrates on
topics including transforming a community law clinic to aid
community entrepreneurs, supporting successful entrepreneurs in
distressed communities, and engineering a community newspaper in
partnership with local residents. The final section includes
analyses of services for entrepreneurs with disabilities and an
innovative program that connects university students to provide
assistance, factors that contribute to innovation and
entrepreneurship among adults, and a new entrepreneurial program
that provides teacher education. Academic Entrepreneurship and
Community Engagement is well suited for both students and scholars,
as well as for all those invested in pursuing innovative,
progressive avenues of community engagement. Contributors: N. Ali,
