I am a believer in the concept of the entrepreneurial university,
and think our institutions of higher learning must learn to think
and act in more entrepreneurial ways. The kind of entrepreneurial
culture which this book champions can transform student lives,
invigorate university campuses, and make a fundamental difference
in our communities.' - Burns Hargis, President, Oklahoma State
University, US'At IU's Kelley School of Business, we believe in the
power of entrepreneurial thinking, with a relentless pursuit of
excellence in the research and teaching of entrepreneurship and
innovation across our entire campus. This book on 'academic
entrepreneurship' offers one of the most comprehensive approaches
to understanding the framework and strategies for building
effective entrepreneurship programs within universities today. I
truly believe all universities, regardless of their current stage
of development of their entrepreneurship programs, will materially
benefit from the ideas in this book.' - Daniel C. Smith, former
Dean, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University and current
CEO, Indiana University Foundation, US After more than 30 years of
impressive growth, what have we learned about building world-class
entrepreneurship programs within universities? After tracing the
evolution of entrepreneurship within institutions of higher
learning, the authors explore the key elements that constitute a
comprehensive entrepreneurship program. Best practices at leading
universities and differing kinds of academic environments are
highlighted. They examine multiple aspects of program management
and infrastructure, including curriculum and degree program
development, where entrepreneurship is administratively housed, how
it is organized, and approaches to staffing and resource
acquisition. The perspectives shared in the book enable university
presidents, entrepreneurship students, provosts, deans,
entrepreneurship program directors, faculty members, and others to
better capitalize upon the empowering and transformative potential
of entrepreneurship. Contents: Preface Part I: The Entrepreneurial
