10. © Copyright 2009 – Christian.Vintergaard@oeacademy.org Universities: Engines for regional growth Foundation for new venture creation in addition to their traditional role as research and teaching institutions New names for this kind of entrepreneurship –academic entrepreneurship (Powers et al., 2004) –faculty entrepreneurship (Chrisman et al., 1995). Spin off their research as new firms Foundation of the entrepreneurial university -> broad spectrum of entrepreneurship courses

11. © Copyright 2009 – Christian.Vintergaard@oeacademy.org Problems Most universities lack resources and competencies for entrepreneurship teaching –Organizational inertia (teaching job-taking) –Students do not see themselves as ent. Main competence of the university is still teaching and accumulating knowledge No comprehensive set of entrepreneurship courses (specialized courses)

12. © Copyright 2009 – Christian.Vintergaard@oeacademy.org A solution In regions with densely located universities, collective educational efforts can have positive coordination effects –Satisfying the needs of a large volume of students with diverse backgrounds –Enhance the supply of entrepreneurship courses –Each university can specialize Collaboration - swap : 1) students & 2) faculty An organization that coordinates and develops 1) skills among faculty and 2) need among students
