The Entrepreneurial University as a Learning University

Abstract

The continued globalization of markets, resources, and information and the rapid pace of technological development will require radical rethinking, putting universities under constant pressure for innovation. Given universities are increasingly co‐operating and competing with the same universities at the same moment. In relation to society, universities must strive for a better demand‐response balance in the environment/university relationship. The emphasis in this article is on how the Copenhagen Business School (CBS) has increased its capacity for change through strategic management and management for quality. With its focus on the development of an environment for innovative learning, for experimentation, and for evaluation and bench marking activities, as well as through the expansion of its regional and global strategic alliances, CBS has laboured to lay the foundations of a Learning University.
