Measuring the Implementation of the Entrepreneurial University Concept

Summary/Abstract: The entrepreneurial university is a concept described in connection with the definition of the role of education, scientific research, knowledge transfer and cooperation with the broadly understood environment in the field of socio-economic and cultural development, which should be based on broadly understood entrepreneurship. This concept becomes particularly important since entrepreneurship was indicated as one of the main competences on the European labour market, which imposes on education the obligation to shape entrepreneurial attitudes of people throughout the entire educational process. The main goal of the article is to promote the concept of an entrepreneurial university and to disseminate the HEInnovate questionnaire as a tool for assessing the entrepreneurship of higher education units. The article presents a case study of the Cracow University of Economics (UEK) prepared on the basis of direct (interviews, participating observations) and indirect (review of documentation) research. The research method chosen to determine the level of entrepreneurship in the eight selected dimensions of the university’s activity is the HEInnovate questionnaire. The results of surveys conducted among the value judges were discussed with reference to the model entrepreneurial university. The areas of UEK entrepreneurship have been indicated, which require undertaking improvement actions leading to the creation of an environment conducive to shaping entrepreneurial attitudes inside HEIs as well as in external relations (local, national and international).
