“…The approaches and intentions of emerging university-society engagements appear varied and prolific. The entrepreneurial university model (Audretsch, 2014;Etzkowitz, 2013;Clark, 2004;Hannon, 2013;Pugh et al, 2018); Mode 2 thinking explaining the changing nature of scientific research to improve its social relevance and significance (Nowotny, Scott, & Gibbons, 2003;; Mode 3 thinking explaining the nature of emerging university-society engagements regarding socio-economic development, democratization, and public accountability (Barnnet, 2004;Carayannis & Campbell, 2006;Rhoades & Slaughter, 2006); and academic capitalism explaining the economic motives of universities behind societal engagements (Slaughter & Rhoades, 2009) all elucidate on the economic interests of universities. As rational and autonomous actors having their own established cultures and norms, universities also aspire to meet the needs of society.…”

“…Due mainly to globalization, democratization, and liberalization (Brennan, King, & Lebeau 2004, P. 19), higher education institutions (HEIs) are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their relevance and significance to society (Addie, 2018;Altbach, 2008;Hannon, 2018;Massen, 2014;Pugh et al, 2018;Reichert, 2019). The socio-cultural and economic transformative potential of universities (Pinheiro, Wangenge-Ouma, Balbachevsky, & Cai, 2015;Brennan et al, 2004) seems more vividly acknowledged than ever before.…”

Due mainly to globalization, knowledge economies, liberalization, and regulation and accountability regimes, higher education institutions are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their relevance and significance to society. European and North American universities have rearticulated their profiles and adopted entrepreneurial and engaged mandates. The extent to which and how African universities are strategically repositioning themselves in that respect remains obscure. Using relevant theoretical frameworks, this study explores emerging modalities of university-society engagements and linkages in Africa through a critical analysis of the current strategic plans of 30 universities from 14 countries. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the strategic plans reveal that universities have explicitly identified strategies for the production and transfer of knowledge; for creating networks and partnerships; and for engaging varied stakeholders in decision making at various levels. Implications for further research are identified.

“…As highlighted by Etzkowitz (2017), the university represents an economic actor in the integration of economic development, teaching and research. This development has a regional nature pattern, with strategic management approaches, diversification of the financing base and promotion of entrepreneurial culture (Trippl, Sinozic, & Smith, 2015;Pugh, Lamine, & Jack, 2018).…”

In this research, a discussion is promoted regarding concepts, theories and main works that deal with the phenomenon of the Entrepreneurial University, with the aim of arousing instigations and reflections for the development of future research on this theme. The main contributions are the formulation of a frame of concepts, and the presentation of three predominant theoretical models, considering that the first uses the Institutional Theory, the second, the Systems Theory, and the third, a junction of these. To these contributions it is associated the presentation of theoretical approaches, used for the analysis of different objects at the Entrepreneurial University.

“…Further to these activities, universities teach entrepreneurship and thus have the ability to influence a region's entrepreneurial culture (LAWTON SMITH and BAGCHI-SEN, 2012;PUGH et al, 2018). Current research suggests that entrepreneurship departments have a double role to play (PUGH et al, 2018).…”

“…In addition to the generation of knowledge, the 'relational university' is focused on the co-production and sharing of knowledge with industry partners (ibid.). Realising the potential monetary value of university knowledge has led to the development of the 'entrepreneurial university' (PUGH et al, 2018;TRIPPL et al, 2015;UYARRA, 2010) where HEIs are expected to formalise knowledge transfer partnerships and establish technology transfer offices. This allows them to commercialise their knowledge production and secure the pecuniary benefits of their intellectual property.…”

We study the regionally heterogeneous effect of student spending in UK NUTS2 regions. Impact analyses of the £44bn students spend each year have so far been agnostic of the regional absorptive capacity to benefit from this expenditure.Building the first UK Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) model and combining it with microdata, we find regional multipliers ranging from 1.11 to 1.37 for each £1 spent by a student. Similar variations are found in spillover effects and the importance of student spending to regional economies. The analysis shows a symbiotic relationship between student spending and regional industrial structures that produces varying impact outcomes.
