The central theme of this series is to explore why some areas grow and others stagnate, and to measure the effects and implications in a transdisciplinary context that takes both historical evolution and geographical location into account. In other words, when, how, and why does the nature and dynamics of a political regime inform and shape the drivers of growth and especially innovation and entrepreneurship? In this socioeconomic and socio-technical context, how could we best achieve growth, financially and environmentally? This series aims to address such issues as: • How does technological advance occur, and what are the strategic processes and institutions involved? • How are new businesses created? To what extent is intellectual property protected? • Which cultural characteristics serve to promote or impede innovation?
Entrepreneurial Capacity of Universities and Its Impact on Regional Economic Growth
Ekonomika regiona [Economy of Region], 2017
The scope of our research is the university as the key actor of economic change. Historically, it is possible to allocate four types of the university by analogy to four industrial revolutions. In the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution, there is a radical shift in the university model. From research and development and technology transfer, the University moves to the creation of the intellectual capital. The university does not simply conduct R&D for business but creates essentially new industries. The university becomes the center around which the new hi-tech enterprises grow. This phenomenon has been entitled entrepreneurial university that is the main actor of the entrepreneurial (startup) economy. In this study, we examined the different approaches to the evaluation of universities, first of all, global university rankings. Each ranking methodology assesses the different functional areas; a unified methodology of the evaluation of university as a complex system is currently lacking. At the same time, we tried to define the mechanism of the impact of the universities on regional economic growth grounding on a case of Russian universities. A comparative study of Novosibirsk and Tomsk universities has revealed key problem areas and barriers in the process of university engagement in regional economic systems. The findings will be used in further theoretical and applied research, as well as decision-making in the area of educational policy.

Problems and Perspectives in Management
Strengthening the integration of higher education, research, and innovation is a crucial requirement of time. The entrepreneurial university today is considered and analyzed as a promising model for their combination. The educational and scientific systems of many countries are faced with the task of converging all vertices of the “knowledge triangle.” The problem of Ukrainian educational and scientific system is a necessity to implement the concept of formation of the innovation and entrepreneurial model of a modern university, which will enable the effective implementation of administrative reforms in this field. The article aims to analyze the impact of innovative environmental factors on the development of entrepreneurial universities in Ukraine, based on correlation and panel regression analysis. The method of quantitative analysis (panel regression) is used to formulate the key results of the article. The results show that the growth of government expenditures by 1% leads to a...
Russia: Universities in the Context of Reforming the National Innovation System
Universities in Transition, 2011
The concept of National Innovation Systems (NIS) initially developed by Freeman (1987, 1995), Lundvall (1992), and Nelson (1993) has proved to be a useful tool for the analysis at national, regional, and sectoral levels as well as for the design of policies to promote science and technology (S&T). Its considerable contribution reveals the role of the national institutional context as the main factor of economic growth based on innovation and learning.
In Russian Federation, as in many other countries across the world, the higher education institutions have experienced significant transformation. This process has being driven by profound structural changes in social and economic fabric of the society, as well as by increasing needs to rejuvenate national and regional economy through innovation and entrepreneurship. This paper seeks to shed the light on the dynamics of the transformation of two leading universities in Russia, which represent two types of universities – one former technical university with strength in engineering and direct links with industry and another classic university with strength in research and education. Conceptually the paper is grounded in institutional path-dependency approach. On the basis ofmultiple case-studies the paper examines the formation, interpretation and implementation of entrepreneurship and innovation function of the universities. The empirical findings suggest that institutional factors, such as historical and normative context, established social, professional and economic relations, regulatory and control mechanisms, play an important role in shaping universities’ strategic orientation, their dynamic capabilities and ultimately define diversity in model of entrepreneurial university. Although the paper focuses on universities in Russia, it provides critical insights on diversity of model of entrepreneurial universities that reflect the diversity of the universities themselves (mid-range vs top universities; teaching vs research oriented universities).
