CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE ACADEMIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The aim of the present paper is to approach several aspects regarding the development of academic entrepreneurship and sets forth a methodology of tackling the initiative of academic entrepreneurship in order to capitalize the current extraordinary capacity in higher academic institutions. The university is one of the sustainable institutions of civilization and one which is continually changing. We might paraphrase the famous words of renown evolutionary theorist, Charles Darwin, in his Origin of Species, published in 1859: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change" into "It is not the strongest of the university that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change". Entrepreneurial adaptation turns challenges into opportunities, whereas the end is considered a new beginning, this is the only way to cope with new challenges, to respond promptly to market requirements, to obtain competitive advantages well adapted to the hyper-competitive environment as well as to use for the best means the novelty of upcoming changes.
