Summary: | The main purpose of this research was to gain an awareness of the feasibility of implementing an Entrepreneurial University and explain why and how it should be in the Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. The research method is mixed and explanatory. Participants were the faculty members of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. In the quantitative part of the research, a classified random sampling method was used and 120 subjects were selected on the basis of Cochran’s. The results of the quantitative data indicated the possibility of implementing all the components of an Entrepreneurial University in Shahid Chamran University. In the qualitative part, the purposeful sampling method was used to select the appropriate items along with 12 members of the authorities and faculty members associated with entrepreneurship and industry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted which were later analyzed through the qualitative content analysis method. The overall results showed that faculty members accepted the difficulties and obstacles in the way of establishing an Entrepreneurial University. They also were aware of a lack of infrastructure and political contexts, social, economic and culturally suitability in the country. However, they believed that the university had good capabilities and appropriate fields. The university can use some strategies to progress on its way to becoming an Entrepreneurial University. |
