International entrepreneurship of universities: Process-oriented and capabilities perspectives

Abstract

Objective: The objective of the article is to propose a model of process-oriented dimension and capabilities perspective on the basis of existing literature and the concept of university-based international entrepreneurship. Research Design & Methods:The article is conceptual and based on scientific literature from online databases.The method used in the research was the critical and reflective analysis of published research results in the area of process-oriented dimension and capabilities perspective for the international entrepreneurship of universities.Findings: An entrepreneurial university is mainly supported by incremental changes flowing from organisational identity and culture.Leadership is strongly concentrated on sense-making.The creative processes in HEI's are of entrepreneurial and social nature.Process-oriented and capabilities perspectives consist of a useful cognitive base for explaining entrepreneurial activities of universities.Implications & Recommendations: Dominant functionalistic approach to the entrepreneurship of universities does not fully explain the social nature of activities of HEI's.To develop entrepreneurial orientation in HEI, leaders should concentrate on sense-making and sense-giving.Contribution & Value Added: Process-oriented dimension and capabilities perspective for the international entrepreneurship of universities is a new approach in management theory.Cognitive value lies in the novel approach to entrepreneurial universities as benefiting from the interpretative paradigm and incrementalism.
