The configuration of the entrepreneurial university remains poorly understood given the complexity of the university as an organisation with multiple missions and multiple ‘products and services’, delivered by multiple and sometimes competing sub-organisations with different cultures and norms, in response to different outside pressures and demands. The outcomes of the entrepreneurial university reflect the plurality of goals, including research, teaching, knowledge commercialisation, and civic and community empowerment, but they are rarely considered within the same conceptual and empirical framework. Hence, the aim of this paper is to explore how multiple and sometimes competing strategies and associated arrangements, resources and capabilities within the entrepreneurial university affect the delivery of economic and social benefits to the external world across teaching, research, knowledge commercialisation, and civic and community empowerment missions. To achieve this aim, we elaborate the entrepreneurial university ecosystem concept so that we can systematically capture the cross-influences of the entrepreneurial university elements in their entirety rather than focussing on selected ecosystem elements and their effects in relation to one particular university mission. Our analysis is based on a novel institution-level database on university strategies, goals, policies, and support mechanisms, providing annual data for all higher education institutions in the UK over the period 2017–2020, complemented with annual administrative data on staff, finances, graduate outcomes, and infrastructure, as well as contextual data on the wider regional entrepreneurship ecosystem. Using a Seemingly Unrelated Estimation approach, we contribute with novel fundings explicitly identifying synergies and tensions between different elements of the entrepreneurial university ecosystem that affect the delivery of its outcomes.

鉴于大学作为一个具有多种使命和多种“产品和服务”的组织的复杂性，由具有不同文化和规范的多个、有时甚至是相互竞争的子组织提供，以应对不同的外部压力，人们对创业型大学的配置仍然知之甚少。和要求。创业型大学的成果反映了多元化的目标，包括研究、教学、知识商业化以及公民和社区赋权，但它们很少在相同的概念和实证框架内考虑。因此，本文的目的是探讨创业型大学内部的多种、有时是相互竞争的战略和相关安排、资源和能力如何影响教学、研究、知识商业化以及公民和社会等方面向外部​​世界提供经济和社会效益。社区赋权使命。为了实现这一目标，我们阐述了创业型大学生态系统的概念，以便我们能够系统地捕捉创业型大学要素的整体交叉影响，而不是专注于选定的生态系统要素及其与某一特定大学使命相关的影响。我们的分析基于一个关于大学战略、目标、政策和支持机制的新型机构级数据库，提供 2017-2020 年期间英国所有高等教育机构的年度数据，并辅以有关员工、财务的年度行政数据、毕业生成果和基础设施，以及更广泛的区域创业生态系统的背景数据。使用看似无关的估计方法，我们提供了新颖的资金，明确确定了影响其成果交付的创业大学生态系统不同要素之间的协同作用和紧张关系。
