Abstract

This paper explores the creation and development process of an accelerator by a European business university, investigating the factors that led the university to found its own accelerator and that guided its set up process in terms of choice of focal activities and governance structure, as well as the mechanisms through which it creates value for its internal and external ecosystem. Relying on an in-depth case study approach, we conducted several interviews with members of the accelerator, key university stakeholders, and external partners. Our empirical evidence points to the existence of both internal and external drivers that led to the emergence of the university accelerator and suggests that its operating and governance structures were strategically designed to leverage the university’s internal strengths and resources and to balance integration and autonomy needs. It also underscores the key roles played by the top management of the university and by the internal champion in aligning views, building consensus, and negotiating solutions in this process. Finally, it reveals how by strategically orchestrating the relationships with internal and external stakeholders a university accelerator can build internal and external legitimacy and successfully balance the need of creating value for both the university and the broader ecosystem in which it operates.

创业大学的加速器是如何产生和发展的?
本文探讨了欧洲一所商科大学创建和发展加速器的过程,研究了促使这所大学创建自己的加速器的因素,以及在重点活动选择和治理结构方面指导其创建过程的因素,以及为其内部和外部生态系统创造价值的机制。我们采用深入案例研究的方法,对加速器成员、大学主要利益相关者和外部合作伙伴进行了多次访谈。我们的经验证据表明,大学加速器的出现既有内部驱动因素,也有外部驱动因素,并表明其运营和治理结构的战略设计充分利用了大学的内部优势和资源,平衡了整合和自主需求。报告还强调了大学最高管理层和内部支持者在这一过程中协调意见、达成共识和协商解决方案方面所发挥的关键作用。最后,它揭示了大学加速器如何通过战略性地协调与内部和外部利益相关者的关系,建立内部和外部合法性,并成功地平衡为大学及其所处的更广泛生态系统创造价值的需要。
