“…An entrepreneurial university is defined as a university capable of producing a strategic direction [21] focused on both the formulation of academic objectives and the transformation of knowledge produced within the university into economic and social benefit [7]. A university that establishes patent and/or entrepreneurship centers within the university, conducts innovative projects jointly with governmental institutions or private firms, conducts research and integrates with all social partners through research centers or technology parks [3,22], and offers opportunities and environments to encourage students' entrepreneurship [23] can be called an entrepreneurial university.…”

Today, universities are seen as the main actors of technological change, innovation, and social development; this situation causes new roles for universities, as well as forces them to change. At present, universities face very important expectations such as research and entrepreneurial activities by providing the industry-university cooperation along with education and training. In order to manage that transformation, it is seen that the universities across the world evolve to context of entrepreneurial university. Within this general framework, the main objective of this research is to determine where Turkish universities stand on the transformation of entrepreneurial university. In order to achieve this goal, 68 public universities' strategic plans, which are thought to reflect the intentions for the future, were subjected to content analysis. The findings showed that the majority of universities in our country did not have entrepreneurial university features but they have strong intention and desire for a transformation in this direction.

“…The academic business field is very well-developed; more and more researchers' discoveries are the basis for establishments of new companies. Mascarenhas, based on the available literature on business universities (Mascarenhas et al, 2017) since 1990 to the present day, distinguished three groups: business universities that focus on changes in academic paradigms, examples; academic entrepreneurship which refers to commercialisation of knowledge, and technology-based enterprises or spin-offs.…”

Purpose – the article aims to analyse the best practices in industry-university collaboration and based on theoretical background and practical experiences of universities to provide a framework for building a sustainable industry-university collaboration model, which indicates processes and steps as well as an example of Riga Technical University on how to create and maintain such collaboration. Research question – how to structure the activities for setting up the collaboration with industry based on the desired collaboration intensity. Hypothesis – universities can effectively organise collaboration with industry if they understand what the specific achievable results they want to achieve are. Research methodology – based on literature analysis, best practice and problems analysis of universities and Riga Technical University case analysis of university-industry collaboration, a model for improving collaboration with industry is proposed. Findings – to establish an effective and productive university-industry collaboration university must apply a structured approach of communication and collaboration of all internal parties involved in the process, what can be done by using the SADI Model for Building a Relationship between Universities and Entrepreneurs. For successful implementation of the university’s strategy of collaboration with industry-university must define the achievable results for such collaboration and apply the SADI Model at the appropriate intensity level – basic, medium or high level. Research limitations – such a model hasn’t been fully implemented, so the full spectrum of all activities and their performance hasn’t been tested yet, as the implementation of it requires the involvement of multiple university departments. As well a limited approbation of the model is done since it is tested within Riga Technical University. Practical implications – the model can be used in different intensity levels according to the university’s strategical aims and desired achievable results from the collaboration with the industry. Originality/Value – the article supplements previous research done in the field of university-industry collaboration, providing an approach “SADI Model for Building a Relationship between Universities and Entrepreneurs” on how to structure and organise the collaboration with industry within the university as well as provides structured approach on how to define activities to be implemented by university based on the desired outcomes form such collaboration.

“…), human recourses transfer (mentors from entrepreneurship, common business problem solving, internships where students can work together with professionals and improve their academic knowledge practically etc. ), industry advisory committees, informal interaction, financial support (Bikse, Lusena-Ezera, Rivza, & Volkova, 2016;Stal, Andreassi, & Fujino, 2016;Mascarenhas, Marques, Galvão, & Santos, 2017;Nielsen & Cappalen, 2014;Perkmann & Walsh, 2007). Based on information founded through literature analysis and in world largest universities websites, especially in the US, for example, graduate organisations are very popular, and it should be considered as a strategically important asset in university management (Martin, Moriuchi, Smith, Moeder, & Nichols, 2015).…”

Purpose – the article aims to describe the main problems in cooperation between universities and entrepreneurs as well as suggestions to improve this cooperation. Research methodology – the aim of the article has been achieved based on literature analysis, detailed content analysis of existing Latvian technical universities strategy documents and SWOT analysis, and recommendations gained through expert interviews. Findings – one of the factors strengthening the need for cooperation is the significant shortage of engineering and ICT specialists in the coming years; therefore, authors have analysed technical universities strategy documents. The article suggests that improvement in the cooperation can be reached if academic institutions would apply a unified system for better cooperation with industry. Practical implications – the model, which is described by authors as the SADI model, provides an opportunity to strengthen cooperation with industry taking into account such factors as availability of the resources; university’s strategic aims, the intensity of communication with entrepreneurs and others. The model provides support to the management of the university in planning cooperation and developing appropriate structures to support it. It as well it can help university’s management to structure cooperation activities, thus strengthening it and generating additional resources. Originality/Value – authors have not found such a detailed model in advance so that it can be considered a novelty
