Abstract
The response of the higher education system to the challenges of today is the emergence and development of new forms of university activity, which more adequately correspond to modern realities. One of these forms is entrepreneurial universities. Thus, this study aims to determine the features of the transformation of universities into entrepreneurial organizations. The article reviews the scientific literature on the problem under study and presents options for defining an entrepreneurial university. Based on an expert survey, the areas of university entrepreneurial activity are determined. The authors indicate the features of entrepreneurial universities and establish and analyze methods for transforming universities in the direction of entrepreneurship. The study led to the conclusion that transformational change in universities is a prerequisite for their effective transformation into entrepreneurial universities.
Highlights
The interaction between educational and business environments is an interesting problem from the point of view of the current state of civilization, characterized by radical changes in its fundamental institutions (Terenteva et al, 2017; Plenkina & Deberdieva, 2017)
A striking manifestation of such interaction is the model of an entrepreneurial university, the essence of which is in the implementation of the principles of the business environment in the academic sphere (Beknazarov et al, 2020; Zabolotnikova et al, 2020; Goncharov et al, 2020; Abdulkadirov et al, 2020)
The experts noted that the following may become the areas of university entrepreneurial activity (Table 2)
Summary
The interaction between educational and business environments is an interesting problem from the point of view of the current state of civilization, characterized by radical changes in its fundamental institutions (Terenteva et al, 2017; Plenkina & Deberdieva, 2017). Budgetary financial support of state universities by many countries covers only about 30% of their total expenses (Kalenyuk & Dyachenko, 2016). In such conditions, universities of various types must find the rest of the funds and their sources on their own (Obedkova et al, 2020). Universities of various types must find the rest of the funds and their sources on their own (Obedkova et al, 2020) This fundamentally changes the principles and foundations of national higher education policy supporting universities funded from the state or local budget. Universities of all types are forced to focus on finding alternative sources of funding and its diversification and attracting additional financial sources (Dudin et al, 2018)
