Entrepreneurship and innovation are increasingly viewed as key
contributors to global economic and social development.
University-based entrepreneurship ecosystems (U-BEEs) provide a
supportive context in which entrepreneurship and innovation can
thrive. In that vein, this book provides critical insight based on
cutting-edge analyses of how to frame, design, launch, and sustain
efforts in the area of entrepreneurship. Seven success factors were
derived from an in-depth analysis of six leading, and very
different, university-based entrepreneurship ecosystems in North
America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. These seven success
factors are: (1) senior leadership vision, engagement and
sponsorship; (2) strong programmatic and faculty leadership; (3)
sustained commitment over a long period of time; (4) commitment of
substantial financial resources; (5) commitment to continuing
innovation in curriculum and programs; (6) an appropriate
organizational infrastructure; and (7) commitment to building the
extended enterprise and achieving critical mass. Based on these
success factors, the authors provide a series of recommendations
for the development of a comprehensive university-based
entrepreneurship ecosystem. This major assessment of how best to
drive university-based entrepreneurship ecosystems is essential
reading for anyone involved in higher education (particularly
provosts, deans, and professors), government agencies concerned
with socio-economic development, and all those concerned with
helping entrepreneurship ecosystems to flourish. Contributors: J.M.
