Universidade Empreendedora: mapeamento bibliométrico de revisões de literatura da Web of Science no período de 2000 a 2023

Abstract

The evolution of universities throughout time showed the emergence, according to Etzkowitz, (1983), of a new concept known as entrepreneurial university, which shows a new institutional model based on the intensive creation of knowledge as a guideline for entrepreneurship, innovation, and, consequently, for economic and social progress. In this context of change, a motivation arose to carry out a systematic review of literature on the topic “entrepreneurial university” in the last two decades, identifying the characteristics of these reviews and trends, in order to support future theoretical and empirical research, institutional and governmental policies based on the production and commercialization of scientific and technological knowledge. The methodology encompassed a theoretical review of the themes of entrepreneurial university and literature review, in addition to exploratory searches of articles in the blanks of title, subject, summary, descriptors and keywords of references with the expressions “entrepreneurial university” and “entrepreneurial universities” in the international WoS database, from 2000 to 2023. The results, from the analysis of 18 literature reviews, show a panorama of the entrepreneurial university theme and highlight its scientific scope, regionality, temporality and the formation of research networks.
