Abstract

This study seeks to develop a structured framework that can be utilised to assess and ascertain the level of entrepreneurship exhibited by a university. This qualitative study of documentary secondary data, website content, and 25 comprehensive semi-structured interviews with both deans and directors of enterprise/entrepreneurship centres deals with the culture and mindset, vision and strategy, and policy and practice and entrepreneurial impact of British Universities. The data was structured, coded, and clustered using two modes, namely the template analysis and the framework analysis. Analysing the data of this study results in developing an empirical model for the criteria that can be used to decide whether a university is entrepreneurial. The most important feature of this model is that it contains details that make it more comprehensive compared to other models. This model also presented new views that are somewhat different from what was included in the literature. One of the most important of these views is that entrepreneurial universities have a more pronounced and substantial effect on the economy in comparison to non-entrepreneurial universities.
