Abstract

Academic entrepreneurship activities are defined as large-scale science projects, contracted research, consulting, patenting, and licensing, spin-off firms, external teaching, sales, and testing. Indeed, entrepreneurship in higher educational institutions can take several forms; moreover, the types of agents and types of entrepreneurial projects must be taken into consideration. On the one hand, educational entrepreneurship refers to education businesses that lead to a massive improvement in education, where education entrepreneur is the “change agent” who combines business acumen with education expertise. On the other hand, academic entrepreneurship involves a university faculty that establishes a new company or institutional project. According to the Holistic Conceptual Framework of the seven aspects of academic and educational entrepreneurship, there are seven aspects that are required to lead an edupreneur to success: financial, political and economic, social and environmental, international and cultural, individual and contextual, intellectual, and technological. The specificity of international aspects of entrepreneurship has been identified as new and innovative activities that create value and growth in organizations beyond national frontiers. Therefore, internationalization in academic entrepreneurship contexts can be related to several actions of opportunity seeking. As identified in the open innovation processes, internationalization aspects of academic entrepreneurship can be included in an outside-in process of innovation, enriching a project through the capture of international aspects, an inside-out process of innovation, by transferring ideas to the outside environment, or a coupled process of innovation, by creating alliances of knowledge and developing new projects with international aspects. The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the international and cultural aspects that academic entrepreneurs must take into consideration and propose a conceptual framework for analyzing higher educational institutions (HEI) regarding their international settings to support or hinder academic entrepreneurship.
