This thesis conducts a critical review to provide a modernized conceptual clarification of the “Entrepreneurial University” concept. First, we define the concept of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and Entrepreneurial University, how and why they were created and their consequent evolution over time. Second, we provide a critical literature review of Entrepreneurial University and its relevant sub-themes. The results of this analysis allow us to identify the main themes of Entrepreneurial University literature and discuss them in a wide spectrum of literature at the cross-fields of technology and knowledge transfer, academic entrepreneurship, education, startups and industry-university collaboration. To close our study, we provide guidelines for future research directions to further advance knowledge of this field.
Questa tesi conduce una revisione critica con lo scopo di proporre una visione moderna del concetto di “Entrepreneurial University”. In primo luogo, definiamo il concetto di Entrepreneurial Ecosystem e di Entrepreneurial University, come e perché sono stati creati e la loro conseguente evoluzione nel tempo. Successivamente forniamo una revisione critica della letteratura riguardante Entrepreneurial University e dei relativi sotto temi. I risultati di questa analisi ci permetto di identificare i principali temi della letteratura su Entrepreneurial University e di discuterli in un ampio spettro che unisce technology e knowledge transfer, imprenditorialità accademica, istruzione, startup e collaborazione tra università e industria. Per chiudere il nostro studio, forniamo linee guida per future ricerche in modo tale da approfondire ulteriormente la conoscenza in questo campo.
