The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation
The changing role of universities in knowledge generation, dissemination
and commercialization
Volume 11, Number 4, November 2010
Higher education institutions (HEIs) throughout the world are increasingly
required to operate more entrepreneurially, commercializing the results of
research and spinning out new, knowledge-based enterprises.
Entrepreneurship has come to be seen as a panacea for generating
employment and economic prosperity.
Current thinking supports the need for multidisciplinary and interactive
knowledge creation and transfer between governments, universities and
industry.
The papers in this timely special issue explore a range of topics which
expand the research field surrounding the role of universities in relation
to entrepreneurship and innovation.
