Conceptualizing the Regional Roles of Universities, Implications and Contradictions (2010, background): “…based on knowledge capitalization and knowledge transfer, they argue, universities can play other, more “developmental” roles, involving a stronger and more engaged regional focus of all of their activities such as human capital formation, associative governance and culture (Gunasekara, 2006b).”
Entrepreneurial activity and regional competitiveness: evidence from European entrepreneurial universities (2016, methodology): “Given the difficulty in obtaining information, these studies have used case studies (Chrisman et al. 1995; Goldstein and Renault 2004; Gunasekara 2006; Guerrero et al. 2014; Morgan 2002; Urbano and Guerrero 2013) and quantitative analysis of universities located in one specific region/country using ”
Understanding the concept of the entrepreneurial university from the perspective of higher education models (2014, background): “This “revolution” was at the foundation of the third task or mission of the university and evolved from a focus on teaching and research into a role of a university in social and economic development (Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff, 1999; Gunasekara, 2006; Wissema, 2009).”
The Role of Universities in Regional Development: Conceptual Models and Policy Institutions in the UK, Sweden and Austria (2015, background): “Finally, this approach overestimates the capabilities of HEIs to realign their activities in response to external signals (Gunasekara, 2006).”
Is the entrepreneurial university also regionally engaged?

Value creation in the quadruple helix: a micro level conceptual model of principal investigators as value creators (2018, positive): “A large body of literature has dealt with entrepreneurial universities and their specific role within innovation systems, highlighting the importance of academic knowledge in generating commercial innovation (Etzkowitz et al., 2000; Gunasekara, 2006; Bozeman et al., 2013; Guerrero et al., 2015).”
The impact of higher education on entrepreneurial intention and human capital (2018, background): “From this perspective, universities can play an important role as they offer specific EE and other initiatives that can be finalised to support the entrepreneurial choice (e.g. Markman et al., 2005; Gunasekara, 2006; Laredo, 2007).”
