Drawing on comparative data from five universities in Latvia and Norway, this article examines universities’ strategic responses to a policy environment that calls for more entrepreneurial approaches in organizing research activity in higher education. This study concludes that strategic responses of universities to pressures for entrepreneurialism vary not only depending on the national policy context but also depending on the institution’s profile. While universities in this study rarely defy some of the key elements of entrepreneurialism as proposed in the policy domains, their strategic responses are conditioned by local institutional realities.

有条件的企业家精神：拉脱维亚和挪威大学的战略回应

本文利用拉脱维亚和挪威五所大学的比较数据，研究了大学对政策环境的战略回应，该政策环境要求在组织高等教育研究活动时采用更多的创业方法。这项研究得出的结论是，大学对企业家精神压力的战略反应不仅取决于国家政策环境，而且取决于机构的概况。虽然本研究中的大学很少挑战政策领域提出的企业家精神的一些关键要素，但它们的战略对策却受当地制度现实的制约。
