| Abstract |
The evolution of the vision and interpretation of entrepreneurship has occurred in parallel with the entrepreneurial change in practical terms, i.e. regarding the process that defines the creation of a business. Thus, the need to constantly update studies, analyses, and strategies must be aware of those involved. The entrepreneurial models in the paper present various phases that are declined according to the theoretical and practical approaches, found especially in the literature. Throughout the sections of the paper, we argue that the models, components, or strategies of the entrepreneurial university are extremely dynamic, flexible, and adjustable to offer fair chances for any university framework to transform itself and adopt the entrepreneurial model. We are discussing with priority two entrepreneurial university models namely the European and the American. For the European model of the entrepreneurial university, we present the framework focused on the 7 key pillars and the European level strategies for increasing entrepreneurship in universities. Related to the American model we provide a couple of good practices and policies applied by renowned institutions. For comparative analysis, we present the case study of "Stefan cel Mare" University like an open entrepreneurial system. To frame the entrepreneurial approach of this university we examine a series of coordinates like research laboratories, business incubators and technology parks, partnerships, and consultancy with private companies, cooperation based on joint projects, participation in international research networks, and students' involvement in research. |
