Opis

This book aims to bring together different contributions highlighting how the recent changes that modify universities activities, such as the necessity to internationalize and crucially rely on third party funding, and the new entrepreneurial trajectories stemming from the recent economic-financial crisis, contribute to emphasize the existing differences between successful and lagging regions, as occurred at a country level (e.g. Southern Europe). This book should be of interest to economists, sociologists, political scientists as well as to policy makers and practitioners involved in the creationof value at a local level."

Recenzje

"This is a path-breaking book that underlines how the catalytic role of academic institutions in regional development has been recast by the revolutions of university practices in entrepreneurship. ... it is instructive for both academics and practitioners, especially the university managers and policy makers, who are involved in the creation of value at a local level." (Rui Hu, Tae Won Kang, Zuxian Shen and Peng Bin, Entrepreneurship Education, Vol. 3, 2020)
