Abstract

Günümüzde çoğu ülkenin yüksek eğitim sisteminde ciddi organizasyonel dönüşümler gözlenmektedir. Bölgesel kalkınmanın temel dinamiği olarak kabul edilen çoğu üniversite, giderek artan düzeyde girişimci prensipleri uygulamaya çalışmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, girişimci üniversiteler ile bölgesel kalkınma arasındaki ilişkileri değerlendirmektir. Burada ilk olarak, üniversitelerin bölgesel kalkınmadaki önemine değinilmektedir. Daha sonra, girişimci üniversiteler olgusu, temel nitelikleriyle birlikte ele alınmaktadır. Ayrıca, Amerikan ve Avrupa üniversitelerinden örnekler verilerek bölgesel ekonomiye olan katkıları irdelenmektedir
