| Tóm tắt: | In this article we introduce a novel entrepreneurial model, the “Faculty Cooperative”, an eco-system for creating
and managing academic entrepreneurial initiatives. The goal of this model is to promote academic
entrepreneurism, by providing a guiding concept and tools that overcome the lack of alignment between
individual academic attributes and faculty efforts in driving academic spin-out companies. Through an empirical
inquiry based on an academic spin-out company in a UK university context, we have explored the key activities,
actors, organisational processes and outcomes related to the formation and development stages of the
academic entrepreneurship process. The empirical evidence reveals that the key principles embodied by the
“Faculty Cooperative Model” namely, openness, freedom and collective shareholding, are likely to promote the
entrepreneurial culture within a university context. The paper argues for the importance of developing
entrepreneurial culture in conventional research focused universities, which not only improves the traditional
values of teaching and research, but also enhances the dynamic capabilities of universities in a global
marketplace. It is suggested that the entrepreneurial ideal is not contradictory to the conventional university
missions, rather it is complementary. |
