'Clearly, HEIs are discovering their innovative and entrepreneurial
potential to reply to the society's distinct need for them to have
a more entrepreneurial role, namely in innovation. This book
succeeds in discussing the theme from an interdisciplinary
perspective. For that reason, this book will be of help to
practitioners in university management roles and policy-makers as
well as anyone researching this theme and teaching entrepreneurship
in HEIs.' - Nuno Fernandes Crespo, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal
'This book offers educators, entrepreneurs, policy makers, and
researchers significant and practical implications. After reading
the book, we can conclude that the different experiences described
by authors on the academic tools and educational methods can be
generalized in many other universities around the world, in both
developed and developing countries.' - Waleed Omri, EDC Paris
Business School, France 'Edited by four leading researchers,
Entrepreneurial Universities provides innovative insights into how
universities are contributing to the emergence of an
entrepreneurial ecosystem that is both redefining universities
themselves and shaping society. It is an important book for all
those interested in how universities are reinventing themselves in
a time of profound societal transformation.' - Tim Marjoribanks,
Swinburne University of Technology, Australia 'Universities are
called to be more and more entrepreneurial - that is innovative,
proactive and risk-taking - to promote regional development and
economic growth. As a Professor working in two of the most
entrepreneurial Italian universities, I benefited from reading this
book. I consequently recommend it to all my colleagues to guide
their strategic choices and their daily activities.' - Salvatore
Sciascia, IULM University and Cattaneo University, Italy With an
increasing focus on the knowledge and service economies, it is
important to understand the role that entrepreneurial universities
play through collaboration in policy and, in turn, the impact they
have on policy. The authors evaluate how universities engage with
communities while also balancing stakeholder considerations, and
explore how universities should be managed in the future to
integrate into global society effectively. The book reflects the
internationalisation of entrepreneurial universities with examples
from Australia, Brazil, France, Italy, Malaysia, India, Poland,
Portugal, Spain and the UK. Each chapter identifies the differing
cultural influences and how changes in policy approaches mean
universities are constantly evolving. The authors also look into
how culture influences entrepreneurship education, and in turn how
culture affects the initiatives of policy-makers. With a focus on
enhancing entrepreneurial opportunities, universities are shown to
respond by creating effective initiatives that benefit the wider
community through successful collaboration with institutions. The
book identifies the close working relationship between new
government policies and developing entrepreneurial universities.
Researchers, policy analysts and students of entrepreneurship
education, education management and policy will find this book a
useful supplementary read for understanding the future role of
universities.
