AbstractThis case addresses the challenge of leadership succession in a highly respected master’s program at a university in Australia. The director, who was also the program’s lead professor, was due to retire, and the distinctive nature of the program made it particularly difficult to find a suitable replacement. To complicate the challenge, the university’s central administration was not supportive of that master’s degree, whereas it achieved the highest satisfaction ratings in the university from students and enjoyed good support from industry; the director’s insistence on quality of educational experience resulted in tight control of student admission, fewer students, and lower revenue than competing programs.A highly engaged group of students and alumni took on this challenge, working with the outgoing director to sustain impressive results over a 5-year period.

This chapter introduces and discusses changes with respect to the university governance system in China which is in the process of creating a world-class university by taking Tongji University as an example. It presents an analytical framework on the basis of four powers: (1) the internal democratic nature of the governance structure, (2) the external involvement in university governance, (3) the level of centralization of the decision-making authority in the university, and (4) the concentration of authority in an individual leadership position versus authority in a collective body or spread over various collective bodies. It analyzes and summarizes the reforms of three colleges at Tongji University in these four aspects and puts forward some reasonable suggestions for other universities.

The education system at all levels in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), in an emerging and small open transitional economy is still insufficiently focused on strengthening the entrepreneurial spirit of young people, as well as encouraging young people to self-employment as a career option. The purpose of the research is to analyze the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of University of Banja Luka (UNIBL) and to model the future contours of a reformed modern medium-sized public university in small developing economies, with the focus on building campuses as entrepreneurial ecosystems. From empirical research carried out in 2018 by using a factor and correlation analysis, it can be concluded that UNIBL does not have the characteristics of an entrepreneurial university and that it is necessary to transform the university. A modified model of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the University of Chicago adapted to small transition emerging economies was proposed.

Insight Into

Over the past decade, universities have invested heavily in startup accelerator programs; however, their role in the university entrepreneurial ecosystem is ambiguous. Are university startup accelerators intended to educate or are they created to facilitate business starts and to contribute to regional economic development? In contrast, most private-sector startup accelerators serve a consistent and differentiated role in the entrepreneurial ecosystem—they provide programming and resources to startups to increase the probability of a return on investment. Understanding the role of university startup accelerators is an important precursor to evaluating their impact and whether or not the return is worth the considerable investment. In this study, we poll university accelerator directors to gain their perspective on the role(s) that university startup accelerators play and to identify how they are structured and operated. Our research reveals a fairly uniform structure and mode of operation. While facilitating business starts is a key role for some, it confirms education as the primary role for university startup accelerators. We outline appropriate means of assessing the learning that takes place in accelerator programs, offer insight into how these findings can help accelerator directors deliver on outcomes and demonstrate impact, and propose avenues for future research.

Modern universities may play a significant role in entrepreneurial ecosystems by boosting the entrepreneurial activity of the region. One way to achieve this is through entrepreneurship education. In this study we suggest that one reason why entrepreneurship education has a weak impact on entrepreneurial activity is that the effect of courses and extracurricular programmes depends on how students perceive the entrepreneurial activity. We use the 2018 GUESSS database, which includes 9,667 answers for Hungary, to develop a general linear model. The model suggests that students’ entrepreneurial intentions, attitudes toward entrepreneurship, self-efficacy, social norms, as well as the university, and the field of study all have a small but statistically significant impact on how students perceive the entrepreneurial ecosystem within the university. Our conclusion is that more emphasis on shaping attitudes and arousing student interest can increase the efficiency of entrepreneurship education.

The University governance is constantly in crisis in many developing countries especially in Africa. This article is built around the idea that this question cannot be addressed without a prior reflection on the personal expectations that determine the researchers´ commitment in their work. Our objective is to contribute to better understanding the researchers’ motivations when they decide to publish articles, to write or supervise theses. The study considers the field of Management Sciences where the conceptual debate concerning the value of research rarely mentions what the researcher earn for himself. Data were collected through comprehensive interviews with 55 researchers of two Cameroonian Universities. The analysis puts forth five configurations of motivations that are likely to inspire the deepen reflections on local Universities governance reform.

ABSTRACTThis research aims to examine and investigate in depth about the causes of the absorption of delays that occur in the Central University of Jember University. This research begins with the uneasiness of the phenomenon that occurs in the Central UKM University of Jember will be a delay in the absorption of the budget. This problem certainly has an impact on funds used temporarily to meet pre-event needs. Even more so if the funds needed are large. In addition, this delay in budget absorption also results in suboptimal activities carried out and has an impact on the University of Jember, specifically related to one of the principles of GUG (Good University Governance), namely the principle of responsibility which indicates the extent to which the process of providing public services carried out by Jember University, is it already in accordance with administrative and organizational requirements that are true and in accordance with statutory regulations. This research is qualitative research using ethnomethodology study methods. The results showed that the cause of the delay in budget absorption was due to the delay in the submission of TOR, unpreparedness in the implementation of SIMAWA, the existence of a long bureaucratic process plus a clash of busyness from the approval party, delay in SPJ collection, accumulation of activity programs at the end of the year, and the number of activity programs proposed by Central UKM of Jember University.Keywords: Public Sector Accounting, Budget Absorption, Good University Governance (GUG) ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah dan menelisik secara mendalam tentang penyebab keterlambatan penyerapan yang terjadi pada UKM Pusat Universitas Jember. Penelitian ini berawal dari adanya keresahan fenomena yang terjadi pada UKM Pusat Universitas Jember akan keterlambatan dalam penyerapan anggaran. Adanya permasalahan ini tentu saja berdampak pada dana-dana yang digunakan sementara untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pra acara. Terlebih lagi jika dana yang dibutuhkan dalam nominal yang besar. Selain itu keterlambatan penyerapan anggaran ini juga mengakibatkan tidak optimalnya kegiatan yang dilaksanakan serta berdampak pada Universitas Jember, khsusunya terkait dengan salah satu prinsip GUG (Good University Goververnance) yaitu prinsip responsibilitas yang menunjukkan sejauh mana proses pemberian pelayanan publik yang dilakukan oleh Universitas Jember, apakah sudah sesuai dengan ketentuan-ketentuan administrasi dan organisasi yang benar dan sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif menggunakan metode studi etnometodologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyebab keterlambatan penyerapan anggaran dikarenakan keterlambatan dalam pengajuan TOR, ketidaksiapan dalam penerapan SIMAWA, adanya proses birokrasi yang panjang ditambah benturan kesibukan dari pihak approval, keterlambatan pengumpulan SPJ, penumpukan program kegiatan di akhir tahun, dan banyaknya program kegiatan yang diusulkan oleh UKM Pusat Universitas Jember.Kata kunci: Akuntansi Sektor Publik, Penyerapan Anggaran, Good University Governance (GUG)
