Abstract(s)
Universities are increasingly becoming more entrepreneurial in their
outlook and the way they integrate into society. This comes from the competitiveness
pressures universities are facing in the global economy. More
emphasis is being placed on the knowledge and service economies, which is
impacting upon how universities are seen in communities. In the past universities
were viewed more as teaching institutions, but this has changed,
with research and development also being emphasized in terms of regional
competitiveness. Therefore, the role of universities has adapted to be more
entrepreneurial, as there are multiple stakeholder considerations.This chapter is structured as follows. First, the development of the term
‘entrepreneurial universities’ in the literature is discussed. Second, the
important role universities have in society is discussed with reference to the
increased integration of entrepreneurship in educational systems. Third,
the growing influence of technology and knowledge transfer at universities
is stated. Next, community interaction and entrepreneurial universities is
discussed. The chapter then provides an overview of chapters in the book.
A final section draws conclusions.
