Development of infrastructures and facilities shows has started
entrepreneurship journey in Iranian scientific system. Development of infrastructures and facilities represents the beginning of entrepreneurship
journey in Iranian scientific system. However, Iranian entrepreneurial
university is not myth, but it has not been come true yet, especially in the
field of social entrepreneurship. The current situation of university represents or indicates the complex and
challenging journey ahead and suggests initiatives to transform Iranian
universities into more entrepreneurial institutions. There are two main
necessary conditions for this vital journey. One, Iranian universities not only
must pay close attention to the coherence between them and the environment, but
also, they should avoid the ivory tower attitude and take into careful
consideration about the specificities of their context and the needs of the
stakeholders. Second, it is need to change academic culture and attitudes and
promote and diffuse entrepreneurial culture and entrepreneurial values within
each institution. Changing in academic culture and attitudes is second point,
universities should promote and diffuse entrepreneurial culture and values
within each institution. Turning the traditional university into an
entrepreneurial university is a cultural matter, and it needs entrepreneurship
training, especially skills training to individuals. Based on this study,
shaping and effectiveness of entrepreneurial university don’t possible without
systematic development of skill training and entrepreneurial education for
students, faculty members, managers and staff, and reinforcement of
entrepreneurial attitudes in university human resources. Also, the main
weakness of academic entrepreneurship is overemphasis of economic-technical
entrepreneurship dimensions and low attention on socio-cultural
entrepreneurship. One of the key perspectives of the third generation
university is development of professional skills and competences and
empowerment of students and faculty in direction of national development
process and society problems solving. In the academic entrepreneurship journey,
we should eliminate weaknesses, strength strengths and increase universities
responsibility and accountability. Entrepreneurial university and the 3G
University should serve society in socio-economic dimensions.
