“…For example, discussing why an environmentally friendly company may want to purchase a hybrid vehicle as a company car because it fits the image they wish to portray even though less expensive options may exist. This also adds to the entrepreneurial aspects of sustainability for those students who want to start their own business someday and illustrates the benefits of operating a small business with a positive approach to sustainability (Bikse, Lusena-Ezera, Riuza, & Volkova, 2016;Iliko, 2016).…”

Sustainability has become an important issue in the world today for both business and society. As accounting faculty members, it is important that we add aspects of sustainability into accounting classrooms to help prepare students for what they will see in the workplace. The article aims to discuss areas for faculty to share with students the importance of sustainability. The methods of discussing sustainability in the classroom come from the teaching experiences of the authors. Cost, managerial, and intermediate accounting courses, as well as auditing at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, serve as conduits for sustainability concepts. Examples include discussing the triple bottom line, examining CSR reports and assurance services for them, talking about required environmental reporting and integrated reporting, and examining green balanced scorecards. The hope is that faculty can help students learn not only accounting but how to be better citizens with a global perspective on sustainability.

Method of the study uses qualitative analysis which is focusing on Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and in -depth interview approaches to eight universities and fifteen academicians with strong background in managing as well as entrepreneurship teaching experiences. The result shows that strong collaboration between the study programs and business incubator must be strongly established to provide entrepreneurship learning experiences in higher education. There are significant aspects as influencing factors to create collaborative model between entrepreneurship program and business incubator; university"s vision and mission, entrepreneurial background lecturer, strong culture and reward system. This study is claimed as few studies focusing on developing a collaborative model specifically to the universities which have business incubator in Indonesia. Studies on the effect on collaborative learning model on entrepreneurship toward succesful entrepreneurship education would be considerably fill in the gaps in the body of knowledge on the subject

“…during the studies and free access to start-up formation etc. are the driving forces to re-profile high-shools into business universities and ensure higher education sustainability (Bikse et al, 2016;Stal et al, 2016; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD], 2012). Today more and more universities shall endeavour to comply with these and other factors in order to ensure the development of business-driven higher education, and it is only a matter of time that this model is implemented at the majority of universities of the world, irrespectively of their primary focus.…”

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.
