| Tiivistelmä: | The divergent attitudes between indsutry and academy are often represented as major obstacle to more fruitful collaboration in the growing literature on the entrepreneurial university. This article provides a study of a major Scandinavian technical university (referred to with the pseudonym UniTech) and suggests that the organization of such collaborations is maybe a more substantial challenge for the entrepreneurial university. This paper suggests that the entrepreneurial university could emerge as a soft bureaucracy, which is a hybrid organization form that comprises both bureaucratic and post-bureaucratic elements. This kind of a form offers distinct opportunities, but it also demands the sacrificing of some bureaucratic features as like as full transparency and the predictability of operations. Consequently, the entrepreneurial university needs to institute a number of mechanisms and procedures to structure and guide its day-to-day work, and nourish an attitude whereby a certain degree of ambiquity can be tolerated. |
