Revisiting Functions and Roles of the Entrepreneurial University in Social and Economic Systems in the Regional Context

Draw Conclusion ◽

Today, institutions are the primary factor shaping national and regional environments. Being a very conservative institution, the university undergoes tremendous transformational changes stepping in the domain of the third university mission. The rise and development of the entrepreneurial university as an institution manifests an ongoing process, the dynamics of which can be confirmed by quantitative and qualitative indicators relevant for social and economic development of the regions and territories. The chapter focuses on the functional institutional approach in assessing an entrepreneurial university as an important institution in the regional socio-economic system, including the innovation system as its part. Basing on empirical data, the functional analysis empowers to draw conclusion on certain characteristics of entrepreneurial universities to overcome the limitations embedded in the national settings.

Regional Product

The essence and indicators of a concept of sustainable development of economy have been considered. Dynamics of an indicator of social and economic development of the region (gross regional product) has been analyzed and the stability indicator has been сalculated. Macroeconomic aspects of unstable development of economy have been revealed through imbalances of inflows and outflows in the two-sector, closed and opened economic systems. The reasons and consequences of disproportions of an economic system have been identified. Measures and directions of state policy in the field of stimulating the development of small and medium-sized businesses, creating a favorable business environment, stimulating export-oriented production, improving migration policies, which will reduce these imbalances, have been proposed. Accounting of regularity of macroeconomic interrelations will allow you to assess a situation of economic systems, and studying of the existing imbalances will promote creation of the mechanism of their regulation.

Advanced Development

The paper discusses the problems associated with the priority social and economic development areas (PSEDAs) in Russia. The special role of high technologies in production processes in the priority social and economic development areas is noted. Attention is drawn to the goal of "advanced" development and to the functions of technological innovation and technological infrastructures in various fields of activity required for it. The methodological and technological foundations of "advanced development" are considered. The priority development in the Russian Federation is viewed through the prism of “industrialization 4.0”, the industrial revolution developing in the USA and Germany. “Industrialization 4.0” is a new model of development which marks the end of the industrial and socio-economic formations of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. As a result of the study, barriers to the creation of priority social and economic development areas were identified: the lack of a systematic approach to the implementation of a new type of special areas and an advanced scientific and technical base as the foundation for development in the modern world; the existence of a serious conflict of interest between stakeholders of the priority development areas; dominant decision making on survival strategies. The authors proposed to establish goal-setting as an important component in the national innovation system of Russia and determine technological directions, levels, criteria, qualimetric indicators based on the parameters and trends of the industrial revolution 4.0. The priority social and economic development areas should be considered as an important tool for the adaptation of technological clusters of Russia to international trends, regulations, key parameters, seeking to change the catch-up paradigm with the paradigm of economic development.

Linear Nature

Sustainable social and economic development of the country, as well as the need to ensure its energy safety requiresthe modernisation of the existing and construction of new transmission devices. The characteristic feature of technical infrastructure is its linear nature, i.e. its course through numerous real estates, resulting in limitations imposed on such properties. The limitations differ depending on the stage of the investment process. Such stages include the formal legal stage (designing and collecting appropriate permits and decisions), the investment implementation stage, and the stage of exploitation of transmission devices. Within the first stage, a limitation concerning land development may occur (location of investments in planning documents); limitations of the use of land properties always occur in this case (acquisition of a legal title to the land property disposal for building purposes). At the stage of construction, i.e. the investment implementation, limitations related to the deterioration of the use of the land property may appear. The third stage may involve limitations connected with the presence of transmission devices in the space of the land property, i.e. limitations which result from the actual use of the land property by the transmission company. The objective of this paper is to identify limitations imposed on land properties resulting from the construction and exploitation of transmission infrastructure in Poland.

Research And Teaching ◽

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.

Changing Role

Purpose Over the past few decades, higher education institutions (HEIs) have become key players in regional economic development and knowledge transfer, which has led to a third mission for HEIs and the entrepreneurial university. The purpose of this paper is to assess the challenges of HEIs in fulfilling the third mission for economic development and the changing role of being an entrepreneurial university, and the changes that need to be implemented to fulfill this new mission. Design/methodology/approach The authors have drawn on current literature to examine academic entrepreneurism and the entrepreneurial university, and how universities are fulfilling their third mission. Findings The findings from our review of the literature demonstrated the varied economic and social benefit of universities conducting external third mission/entrepreneurial activities in the community, as well as how the changing role and expectations of universities to become more entrepreneurial, has not only changed the expectations and role of university administrators, faculty and staff but also the business community which they serve. The review also showed the varied challenges for universities in fulfilling the third mission of economic development. Research limitations/implications Although ample literature and cases about universities’ third mission of economic development and the new entrepreneurial university (especially with research universities) were available, literature or research was limited on the specific challenges and obstacles faced by administrators, faculty and departments in fulfilling this mission, and few studies recommended changes that needed to be implemented in HEIs to support this new mission. Practical/implications The paper supports the potential role that HEIs play in implementing economic development in their communities or region. The paper also highlights some of the necessary resources and policy changes that policymakers and university administrators need to implement to reward and recognize faculty in conducting outreach activities as part of the university’s third mission. Originality/value The findings from this study highlight the challenges and barriers for faculty, staff and HEIs in fulfilling the third mission and becoming an entrepreneurial university.

University Industry

Purpose – This paper aims to argue that innovation system foresight (ISF) can significantly contribute to the third mission of universities by creating an active dialogue between universities, industry and society. Design/methodology/approach – This paper’s approach is conceptual. The authors analyse the third mission and relevant literature on innovation systems and foresight to explain how and why foresight contributes to the third mission. Findings – The authors propose that foresight contributes to the third mission of universities, particularly to the research and development and innovation dimensions through the development of joint understanding of the agendas and future needs of stakeholders. In addition, foresight enables education to be designed to address identified needs. Research limitations/implications – The findings are both conceptual and exploratory in nature. Thus, the argument needs further examination through a broader study on foresight in the university–industry context and/or longitudinal research on the outcomes and impact of foresight in this context. Practical implications – The findings highlight the importance of understanding the systemic nature of innovation and its role in economic development. Universities must understand their role within the larger innovation system to fulfil the potential of economic development and by extension, their third mission. Originality/value – The paper outlines a novel approach of using ISF to promote university–industry partnerships and the growth of innovation systems. The paper also contributes to the discussion of the third mission by outlining that mission in practical terms.

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.

Social And Economic Development

The systemic determinacy of modern Russian society in time and space coordinates allows us to conclude that it is at the process stage of the life cycle of the large-scale social and economic systems functioning within the stage of the digital age that is characterized by the features of environmental systems. It means that the logic of the social and economic development of modern Russia is to ensure the harmonization of the performance and state of all economic systems through communication and coordination, as well as creating conditions for transactions. Following this logic, the article proves the possibility of considering it as a factor providing conditions for socio-economic development using the example of the transformation of the public administration institution. The article defines the subject-object and structural content of the public administration institution. By using the matrix approach, the authors characterize the evolutionary dynamics of the public administration institution. It makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the formation within the local civilizational matrix of modern Russia of a new type of the institutional core – the intellectual one, in which basic and compensatory institutions of the market and distribution types are integrated. The article presents a methodology that allows determining the degree of the formation of public administration, as well as assessing its impact on the social and economic development ofmodern Russia.
