Objectif: Au cours de la dernière décennie, de nombreuses institutions d'enseignement supérieur à travers le monde ont entrepris une transformation stratégique visant à devenir des pôles entrepreneuriaux capables de remodeler de manière significative les paysages économiques. Malgré cette évolution, les déterminants spécifiques et les trajectoires de cette transformation restent insuffisamment explorés et empiriquement non validés. Cette étude réalise une revue systématique exhaustive de la littérature mondiale sur les modèles d'universités entrepreneuriales établis, identifiant les indicateurs clés pour faire progresser les agendas entrepreneuriaux au sein des institutions académiques.
Méthodologie: Ces indicateurs ont ensuite été soumis à une validation empirique à l'aide d'une méthodologie quantitative, utilisant des données provenant d'un échantillon aléatoire (n = 520) évalué à travers un questionnaire à échelle de Likert à 5 points. Une analyse de régression ordinale a été employée pour examiner l'influence prédictive des variables identifiées sur la transformation entrepreneuriale.
Résultats: Les résultats ont montré que les trois indicateurs — soutien entrepreneurial, éducation à l'entrepreneuriat et entreprise de recherche — étaient des prédicteurs statistiquement significatifs au niveau p = 0,00. Le soutien entrepreneurial a démontré la plus grande force prédictive, suivi de l'éducation à l'entrepreneuriat, tandis que l'entreprise de recherche présentait la plus faible influence.
Originality/relevance: These results highlight the need for stakeholders to focus investments in areas with high predictive potential in order to accelerate the entrepreneurial transformation of universities. Future research should focus on context-specific and regionally tailored indicators to further refine strategies and ensure alignment with unique institutional characteristics, thus enabling more effective policy formulation and implementation in the entrepreneurial academic landscape.
