The paper has an innovation focus in that it constitutes part of the preparation for the development of the Entrepreneurial University Leaders Programme (www.eulp.co.uk) which was launched in 2010 by the UK’s National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship (NCGE), now renamed the National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education (NCEE), and the Said Business School, University of Oxford. The paper demonstrates the thinking and concept behind the program.

Leading the Entrepreneurial University: Meeting the Entrepreneurial Development Needs of Higher Education Institutions

What is changing in academic research? What has changed over the past decades and what might change in the coming ones? Could the research mission of universities be carried out in slightly or radically different ways in the medium term? This article aims to cast light on the trends and driving forces that can be observed in academic research over the past two decades in the OECD area. It gives an outlook of the main current characteristics of academic research at a macro level in terms of funding and activities in comparison with research performed by other sectors. It also highlights future challenges and sketches a few possible futures scenarios in a 20-year time frame.

Using the lenses and theoretical frameworks provided by social science, this article highlights some of the central debates concerning higher education governance, within a perspective that privileges the relation between the state and the citizen as mediated by the institution of the university. The article begins by interrogating the meaning of governance, focusing on demographic, ideological, economic and cultural factors that have an impact not only on the pervasiveness of governance as a focus for research and debate, but also on the way it is defined. Key trends in – and emerging models as well as instruments of – higher education governance are identified, laying bare some of the local, regional and global forces that are shaping higher education practices. Opting for ‘critical’ over ‘liberal’ models of the university, the article argues for forms of governance that nurture public intellectuals who challenge and disrupt the reproduction of power. Universities can thus both serve and scruti...
