Can you identify your question? Do you wonder about how the entrepreneurial nature could be developed for students? Or are you asking about entrepreneurial climate which provides thinking like entrepreneurs for students, lecturers and management? In this point another question is this climate for making money? or for raising entrepreneurs?
Berat Cicek, yes my question is to identify how the universities could develop or position themselves to be a part of the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem.
I think this requires a two step approach. First universities should create the entrepreneurial knowledge and educate students in this way. Then a strong university-industry cooperation should be realized. So theory and practice can come together and be more effective for entrepreneurial climate. For this industry can determine the needs and universities can produce the knowledge for this needs. Even Phd and Master thesis can evaluate in this framework. I can say the relationship between industry and university is very important.
The University has evolved. With so many ways of spreading ideas, the need to gather people can not be the same as that of decades ago: lessons and teachers spreading knowledge. Most of this is done over the Internet. The coming of students to the University should consider a richer interaction between students and teachers. Incubators of companies are vital in the learning process and the entrepreneurial mission of universities.
Entrepreneurial university is a trend in the development and transformation of higher education institutions (HEI) (Sam & Van Der Sijde, 2014; Baker, 2015; Thorp & Goldstein, 2013). The debate is about the different possible approaches to entrepreneurship for HEIs, the reason, relevance and the importance of an entrepreneurial university, which are the entrepreneurship components and what are the mission, objectives and strategies needed to become an entrepreneurial university.
There is no singular definition of what constitutes an ‘Entrepreneurial University’, however, it has been described as an academic institution which has adapted to environmental changes, has distinctive managerial and governance arrangements, orients its activities towards an entrepreneurial culture at all levels
