Disciplinary Differences in Entrepreneurial Transformation

Entrepreneurial transformation of universities indicates the emergence of a new institutional model that actively seeks to take advantage of market opportunities. This book aims to contribute to the advancement of the knowledge on the role disciplinary units play in the process. It draws on the argument according to which disciplinary characteristics significantly influence institutional behavior and thereby define in what way entrepreneurialism is going to be validated in practice, in structure, and in mission of the university units. Consequently, it maps out the different configurations that faculties and/or departments take to compete on various marketplaces.
