Effectiveness of Entrepreneurial Universities: Experiences and Challenges in Digital Era (A Systemic Approach)
2021
The modern world actively discusses the challenges that will lead to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. As the specialists assume, part of the jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence. In addition, creation of completely new jobs is expected. As for the jobs that might be maintained in future, skills upgrading will be particularly important. In such a turbulent environment of economic development, universities, and in particular entrepreneurial universities, play a significant role. We think so as these universities have special structures that promote form a university-industry-government triple helix, reskilling and commercialization of new ideas, etc. Due to the above-mentioned fa…
THE “ENTREPRENEURIAL UNIVERSITY”: A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN MANAGERIAL AND ORGANISATIONAL FEATURES TOWARDS THE DESIGN OF PLANNING & CONTROL …
2013
In the last decade, European academic institutions have been affected by significant reforms aimed to improve their own performance levels. The reason for these reforms has been inspired by various factors, such as budgetary restrictions imposed by National Governments and the “marketisation” of the Higher Education sector. This has led European universities to increase their autonomy and accountability to successfully perform and compete in a worldwide competitive system. Both autonomy and accountability have involved a greater emphasis on performance management and Planning & Control (P&C) systems. In the light of the new institutional and competitive context, the aim of this paper is to …
Unpacking Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) performances through the institutional logics lens
2019
In the current knowledge-based economy, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are called to play different interconnected roles related to triple university missions. Alongside the two traditional missions of teaching and research, HEIs have experienced the emergence of the so-called “third mission”, which sees HEIs as knowledge-based agents part of ecosystems of public institutions, companies and citizens oriented to coknowledge creation. Finding a balance between the traditional missions and the third mission can be a serious challenge. For this reason, HEIs need to revise their objectives, strategies and performance indicator systems to plan, monitor and assess their social, cultural, and…
One size does not fit all! New perspectives on the university in the social knowledge economy
2016
Universities face a tension from two urgent pressures they face, firstly to demonstrate that they deliver value for society in return for public investments, and secondly to demonstrate their responsibility by introducing strategic management to demonstrate to their funders that they meet their goals. In this special issue, we explore the ways in which these tensions play out in practice, as universities facing 'mission overload' in turn try to develop additional regional development missions, highlighting three findings. Firstly, there can be no one-size-fits all idea of a 'third university mission' alongside teaching and research because engagement is so context-dependent. Secondly, unive…
Transformation of university education. From the principle of reason to the principle of the market
2016
Niektóre tendencje ideologiczne w globalnym dyskursie edukacyjnym oraz faktyczne zmiany w szkolnictwie wyższym dokonujące się w krajach uczestniczących w procesie bolońskim prowadzą w szczególności do obniżania się jakości nauczania i uczenia się na licznych kierunkach studiów uniwersyteckich. W artykule podjęto próbę scharakteryzowania jakości kształcenia na poziomie wyższym jako zsubiektywizowanego konstruktu odnoszącego się do skuteczności i użyteczności procesu kształcenia. W ostatniej części artykułu omówione zostały niektóre aspekty urynkowienia uniwersytetów (w tym niektóre jego przyczyny i konsekwencje).
The new face of university–business cooperation in Finland
2016
This paper analyses the development of university-business cooperation (UBC) in Finland in the context of the University Reform Act of 2009, drawing on the experience of four universities: Aalto University, University of Jyvaskyla, University of Turku, and Lappeenranta University of Technology. Six UBC dimensions are examined: institutional context, stakeholders, motivations, facilitators/inhibitors, benefits, and drawbacks. We find that UBC, while a relatively recent process, is growing fast in dynamic local innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems. The University Act of 2009 had an uneven effect on the six UBC dimensions, with the most visible impact being manifested on motivations. Aal…
