Synopsis

Entrepreneurial universities improve innovation, economic growth, and societal transformation in the global economy. Beyond their roles of teaching and research, these institutions foster entrepreneurship by promoting collaboration among educators, businesses, governments, and communities. Through technology transfer, startup incubation, research commercialization, and innovation-driven education, entrepreneurial universities help translate knowledge into practical solutions that address real-world challenges. By cultivating entrepreneurial mindsets and supporting the creation of new ventures, these universities may further contribute to regional development, job creation, and sustainable progress. Entrepreneurial Universities as Engines of Innovation and Transformation explores how universities adopt entrepreneurial practices to drive innovation, foster economic development, and create value through research commercialization, industry partnerships, and startup creation. It examines the role of higher education institutions in promoting entrepreneurship, societal impact, and sustainable growth at local, national, and global levels. This book covers topics such as project management, business education, and skill development, and is a useful resource for business owners, educators, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
