In line with this evolution the term ‘entrepreneurial university’ became increasingly popular however until recently there is hardly a common understanding of ‘entrepreneurial universities’. The main perception of ‘entrepreneurial universities’ rests with a visible and measurable contribution ofuniversitiestoinnovationandentrepreneurshipinabroadersense.Although thisperceptionisplausibleandconvincingitraisesmanyopenquestionswhich mainlypointtouniversitygovernancemodels.Theinnovationandentrepreneur- ial university paradigm requires a holistic view on university governance approaches which include the full set of universities missions and respective managementroutines.Inthisrespectit’sofutmostimportancethatuniversities keep a “healthy balance” between their missions. This statement is frequently usedinmanyinstancesyetthusfarthereisnoclearindicationwhata“healthy balance” implies. The chapter provides first indications about entrepreneurial universitygovernanceandrespectivemanagementapproaches.
