Summary: | 碩士 === 國立屏東科技大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 106 === Today, innovation and entrepreneurship education is an important issue between government and higher education. The government actively guides university in developing its campus environment of innovation and entrepreneurship and various teaching and counseling measures and sets up programs, organizations or units that promote innovation and entrepreneurship education. However, these newly established entrepreneurship education organizations are not easy to fit into the system of universities and thus have a shortage of resources and legitimacy. Therefore, this study attempts to explore how entrepreneurship education organization within the university can increase legitimacy under the current resource allocation and structural constraints of organizational systems and structures.
Base on institution theory, this thesis discusses the process of developing legitimacy of the new organization of entrepreneurial education in strategic responses of innovators within the organization: acquiesce, compromise, avoidance, defiance or manipulation. This study takes a qualitative case study research, with the organizational structure and system integrity of a national science and technology innovation education organization (P-Lab) as the research object.
The study found that the new organization of entrepreneurship education in universities responds with a flexible strategy, responds to the challenge of institutional pressure and interacts with the university system and changes. Regardless of changes in tactical strategic responses or changes in institutional pressure, new organizational structures for entrepreneurial education in universities are clearly defined in their core concepts and support the pressure of the response system. Moreover, we conclude by discussing implications for new organization of entrepreneurship education and university for future research.
