Change Strategies for the Entrepreneurial University: Towards a Contextualized Understanding

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingContribution to book/anthologyResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    This chapter offers an integrative review of the change strategies necessary for an HEI to become an entrepreneurial university. Such a review serves as a lens for examining entrepreneurship’s role in HEIs’ change processes. The chapter investigates the archetypical definitions and prototypical developments of an entrepreneurial university and offers three main contributions: First, the review offers an overview of the discrepant definitions of an entrepreneurial university. Second, the review illustrates five waves of theory development regarding the entrepreneurial university, each with a particular focus and agenda. Third, the chapter connects institutional theory to a contemporary under
    standing of an entrepreneurial university. Finally, the chapter proposes a model for processing and contextualizing the entrepreneurial univer
    sity concept to propose managerial options. This further expands upon what Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff (1998) refers to as “an endless transition” to generate new meanings of the concept.
