The Entrepreneurial University in the Knowledge Society
The knowledge-based society depends on the production, distribution, and utilization of new knowledge.Established at the crossroads of research, education, and innovation, universities hold the key to this new society.Among the challenges that universities face today are an increasingly unstable environment, a growing demand for higher education, the internationalization of education and research, the emergence of new social expectations, the delocalization of knowledge production and distribution, and the development of closer and more efficient cooperation with industry and the wider economic world. Because present-day enterprises are taking on the management of both learning and innovation, universities must revise their own knowledge-management practices; they must, in other words, adopt an entrepreneurial attitude in managing people, knowledge, and competencies. Various strategies are proposed for changing the classical university into an entrepreneurial one: institutional construction strategies include the creation of new departments and specializations, while human resource management strategies include the development of an integrated entrepreneurial culture. Organizational management and internationalization strategies are also important.In Romania, entrepreneurial universities are already beginning to replace traditional institutions: at the Polytechnic University of Timisoara, the construction of a technology park has facilitated close alliance with large enterprises.The interaction between entrepreneurial universities and knowledge enterprises will undoubtedly promote innovation, as well as the development of the knowledge society as a whole.
