ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIES AMONG UNIVERSITIES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Original language description

Universities have since time immemorial contributed to their economies by way of research and quality education. However, in recent times, their role has changed since they accepted their third mission of contributing to development (social and economic) and direct engagement in the economy by collaborating with industries and government to create innovation. A crucial point in the flow of academic research results to the entrepreneurial stage is the transfer of knowledge emanating from tertiary educational institutions to the economy. Academic spinoffs play an increasingly important role in this regard. Spin-off firms transfer new research outcomes into directly commercial worth. Academic entrepreneurship has been embraced worldwide due to the contributions it can make by reducing unemployment, boosting economic growth, and impacting the knowledge-based economy. This paper aims to assess universities&apos; entrepreneurial activities in the Czech Republic to see how they engage with industries by way of spin-off creation and technology transfer. This study adopts document analysis and a qualitative approach in its methodology to fill the literature gap. Scientific articles in the Scopus and google scholar database was used in the document analysis using keywords concerning the topic. This paper has demonstrated that the concept of universities engaging in entrepreneurial activities is novel among universities in the Czech Republic. The results of this paper have shown that universities in the Czech Republic have less engagement with industries.
