Universities acting as catalyst for entrepreneurial activities are central to the phenomenon of academic entrepreneurship. Lack of appropriate academic entrepreneurship models has hindered the smooth transfer of knowledge/technology from university to industry in India. The study explores the synergy between the academia and industry through academic entrepreneurship which is crucial to develop a world class higher education system. This paper attempts to understand the processes and stages of academic entrepreneurship activities besides focusing on education and entrepreneurship in India. Further, it discusses a few models and frameworks which integrate academic entrepreneurship, economic development and education in developing countries. The paper concludes with the argument that it is essential to restructure education/research to enable its integration within the economy which nurtures entrepreneurship.

Abstract


Universities acting as catalyst for entrepreneurial activities are central to the phenomenon of academic entrepreneurship. Lack of appropriate academic entrepreneurship models has hindered the smooth transfer of knowledge/technology from university to industry in India. The study explores the synergy between the academia and industry through academic entrepreneurship which is crucial to develop a world class higher education system. This paper attempts to understand the processes and stages of academic entrepreneurship activities besides focusing on education and entrepreneurship in India. Further, it discusses a few models and frameworks which integrate academic entrepreneurship, economic development and education in developing countries. The paper concludes with the argument that it is essential to restructure education/research to enable its integration within the economy which nurtures entrepreneurship.
