Entrepreneurial university. The conceptThe article describes of the phenomenon of entrepreneurship and the analysis of entrepreneurialtype
university models.
The authors believe that the current economic situation in Russia requires the choice of a further
trunk line for the development of the economy and society: either state-based or a private-entrepreneurial
development model. The authors adhere to the second line, unfolding their position on the
problems of entrepreneurial education. The choice of the entrepreneurial model coincided with the
self-determination of the modern university as an institution experiencing a crisis of classical identity
and the search for new models and types of university education. To substantiate the model of an
entrepreneurial-type university, the authors identify a number of modern trends in the development
of higher education: the trend of changing the time frames, the trend of transboundarity, the trend of
identity change, the trend of forming the «third mission» of the university. Against this background,
the article shows that the choice of the entrepreneurial model of the university is organically connected
with the development of entrepreneurship as a phenomenon.
The authors understand entrepreneurship following H. Stevenson as a type of thinking and action,
which «seeks opportunities beyond the currently controlled resources». This, in turn, means
that entrepreneurship is not just about business. The authors show directions of development conducted
by Russian universities that build different versions of entrepreneurial education: within the
framework of the concept of an entrepreneurial university, through a model of a innovations-type
university, and through the introduction of entrepreneurial education in different formats, programs
and projects.
The article shows the experience of building an entrepreneurial-type university at the Novosibirsk
State University of Economics and Management with reference to existing practice and definitions
of entrepreneurship.
The article also provides data on surveys carried out by the authors among entrepreneurs, showing
their attitude to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial universities. The results of the
surveys show the adequacy and timeliness of building the entrepreneurial university model at the
present time.
