“…These journals were chosen because, as other researchers such as Milam (1991) have noted, they are among a core of higher educational journals that enjoy relatively high prestige. Furthermore, these journals are primary reading for individuals interested in the study of higher education in the U.S. and internationally.…”

Academic entrepreneurship (re)defined: significance and implications for the scholarship of higher education

2009

Over the past several decades higher education scholars have conducted a significant amount of research aimed at understanding the implications of enhanced interactions between the academy and the private marketplace. Accordingly, a voluminous literature that includes conceptualizations and discussions of academic entrepreneurship has emerged. This paper used content analysis to examine how researchers have conceptualized entrepreneurship in five leading higher education journals. The analysis revealed notable patterns in the application of theoretical and conceptual frameworks of entrepreneurship to higher education phenomena, as well as observable distinctions in how entrepreneurial models are applied in specific organizational, institutional, and geographical contexts. Results suggest that there is a paucity of attention paid to the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of entrepreneurship within higher education scholarship. We introduce a framework for strengthening the application of entrepreneurial models to higher education research that is grounded in the theoretical constructs of entrepreneurship as articulated in the economic and management literatures.

“…We selected these journals because of their high readership across higher education faculty. In addition, these journals (singularly, in combination or with other education/research journals) have served as data sources over the past 30 years for higher education scholars including, for example, Silverman (1985Silverman ( , 1987, Budd (1988), Milam (1991), Townsend (1993), Hutchinson and Lovell (2004), Hart (2006), Donaldson and Townsend (2007), Bray and Major (2011), and most currently Wells, Kolek, Williams, and Saunders (2015).…”

Using Feminist Phase Theory (FPT) as our analytical framework, we studied the status of gender awareness and influence in higher education leadership development trends in four premier higher education journals for the years 2008, 2011, and 2014. Our analysis was accomplished through the review of articles and book reviews published in two US and two international journals: Higher Education (Netherlands), Higher Education Quarterly (UK), Journal of Higher Education (US), and The Review of Higher Education (US). Study results indicated progress toward a multifocal set of perspectives in which gender was not an issue; rather other concerns such as social justice or diversity were the focus. Data also indicated that while gender was no longer a specific focus of the literature, it was still an underlying concern. Gender and leadership are still being examined, intentionally or not. An additional finding revealed through the study of these journals is a lack of research about leadership in higher education, particularly in the US. A focus on understanding leadership does not appear to be a priority among this higher education community.

“…However, when those seven articles that explicitly referred to feminism in the title, abstract, or both were analyzed, one of the seven articles was not considered feminist by the researcher. The language of feminism in the article was used only to provide an example of a paradigm that might emerge from the data the researcher analyzed, not the paradigm that the researcher used to influence his work (Milam, 1991). Thus, the findings vis à vis feminism may be a slight underestimation, but with my additional analysis of articles where the intent of the researcher(s) appeared to be grounded in feminism, one can now only include 0.56% of the total in that category.…”
