Entrepreneurial Role

There is an ongoing transformation of the university to add value and strengthen teaching, research and technology transfer capabilities. However, one means of enhancing the university’s new social and economic development mission is by reinventing the professorial role through the concept of ‘Professors of Practice’. Initially used to bring distinguished practitioners into the university as teachers, the concept is now being applied to research and entrepreneurship. ‘Professors of Practice’ may link business and science departments and provide entrepreneurial role models for faculty and students.

Вузы становятся не только образовательными центрами регионов, они оказывают существенное влияние на изменение общества и внешней среды, как на уровне субъектов федерации, так и на уровне страны в целом. В статье предложена модель методики оценивания вклада университета в социальное и экономическое развитие региона.

Universities are becoming not only educational centers of the regions; they have a significant impact on changes in society and the external environment, both at the level of the constituent entities of the federation and at the level of the country as a whole.

The University

This article analyzes the evolution of the entrepreneurial university from a narrow focus on capturing the commercializable results of the ‘meandering stream of basic research’ to a broader interest in firm formation and regional economic development. No longer limited to schools like MIT, specialized for that purpose, entrepreneurial aspirations have spread to the academic mainstream. Academic involvement in (1) technology transfer, (2) firm formation and (3) regional development signifies the transition from a research to an entrepreneurial university as the academic ideal. As universities become entrepreneurial, tension arises between this new role and that of teaching and research as it has between research and teaching. Nevertheless, the university coheres as each of these new missions has fed back into and enhanced previous tasks.

For 60 years Frank Holmes was a colossus of New Zealand’s social and economic development. At the centre of his career was the university, and especially the Institute of Policy Studies. When he left the university for the second time, Frank said two significant things: first, that nobody who had contributed to his first farewell should feel obliged to contribute again; and secondly, that his heart was in the university and would remain so. It did. He never left.

Consumer Assessment

The paper considers the customer-centric approach to the organizational culture of the university. The study of formation and development of customer-centric organizational culture of higher educational institutions as a factor of efficient social and economic development of the region is based on the designed diagnostic model of customer-centric organizational culture of the university encompassing the following group of components: degree of formation of customer-centric organizational culture at the university at various levels (ideological, regulatory, customer-facing); degree of students’ satisfaction; degree of students’ involvement in the organizational culture of the university and outcomes of the influence of the university organizational culture on them. The customer-centric approach is considered, first as the focus of each member (employee) on the consumer (assessment of the orientation level of each participant), second, assessment of the consumer satisfaction level, allows estimating the level of consumer-focus in general without an attempt to identify orientation of every individual participant. The process of creating the additional value covers all above-mentioned levels and cannot be created with only one without taking the other into account. Therefore, it is critical to collect and make the best use of information and both real and potential consumer services.
