| Abstract: | The paper deals with research leadership in public universities in a time of transformation, focusing on the role of entrepreneurial strategies in creating space for research under conditions increasingly depending on balancing managerial control in the university against openness to other knowledge organizations, arenas and networks. By analysing two new research groups in social science institutions in Denmark, it is shown how dilemmas, uncertainty and complex relations to other managerial systems in the universities can be decisive. Entrepreneurial network organizing offers a new platform for innovation in the university. It is found that the charismatic traits of the research director have a key impact on the strength of this platform. |
