Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the components of the university entrepreneurship ecosystem. The method is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of collecting qualitative-compositional research information. Due to the special nature of the study, the statistical population and the volume of studies include all research studies in the field of university entrepreneurship ecosystem, which were searched with specialized keywords in time period (1387-1399) and (2008-2020) in valid domestic and foreign databases. Finally, 43 articles made it to the final analysis. In the findings, 12 primary sub-categories in the form of 33 secondary sub-categories: Entrepreneurship pedagogy (entrepreneurship training programs, entrepreneurship curricula), university research entrepreneurship (university research management, university research targeting, university research development), university entrepreneurship (entrepreneurship institutionalization, interaction development) Entrepreneurship, development of entrepreneurial events, continuous interaction of university with industry, entrepreneurial strategies, management of entrepreneurial activities), good governance (political policy, economic policy, collective governance), governance in higher education (higher education leadership, modern university management), entrepreneurial manpower ( Human capital development of faculty members, students and staff, human resource management), support and incentives (support mechanisms, incentive mechanisms), entrepreneurship tax (financial resources, financial resource allocation, financial management and planning), legal-regulatory (legal mechanisms, regulatory mechanisms) ), Hard capacities (hard intra-university capacity building, hard extracurricular capacity building), soft capacities (intra-university culture, extracurricular culture) Hey) and competitive atmosphere (intra-university competitiveness and extracurricular competitiveness) were categorized.
