Abstract

The phenomenon of the entrepreneurial university has been the subject of important debates and discussions in different economic and social contexts due to the need for greater interaction between university, industry, and government. As a result, several universities in different parts of the world have been engaged in a transformation process towards a new organizational model, with adherence to a more entrepreneurial or innovative university. In this context, the aim of this study is to analyze the pathways developed by studied universities pursuing an entrepreneurial university model. Therefore, the technique of multiple case study was used having three universities as the empirical field: two in Brazil, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), and one in Sweden, Lund University (LU). Results show that those universities developed pathways based on research activities, which significantly contributed to the increase of university-industry-government relationships. In addition, the three cases show the relevance of a close relationship with their surroundings when implementing the third academic mission.
