Abstract:
Chapters presented in these proceedings shed light on global and local
nuance of developing academic entrepreneurship. The authors invite the reader to take
part in the discussion of eminent challenges and reflect on long-term issues of building an
innovative and entrepreneurial university. It is hoped that these proceedings will be valuable
to university leaders, faculty, graduate students and other stakeholders who have to interact
with higher education institutions. Nation-specific chapters on Kazakhstan could be useful
to scholars who research developments of higher education in this region.
