Straipsniu siekiama ištirti, kaip universitetų veiklos sritys yra susijusios su nacionaline inovacijų sistema teoriniu aspektu. Straipsnyje išanalizuoti universiteto aplinkos pokyčiai ekonominės kaitos ir globalizacijos kontekste, universitetų įtraukimas į inovacinę veiklą pagal M. Gibbonso žinių kūrimo modelius, aptartas institucinės sąveikos „Trigubo ryšio“ modelis, apžvelgtos inovacijų sistemų ir jų elementų teoriniai aspektai. Grindžiant sąsajas tarp aukštojo mokslo ir šalies inovatyvumo teorinėmis „Mode 1“, „Mode 2“, „Trigubo ryšio“ ir inovacijų sistemos koncepcijomis, taikyti mokslinės literatūros analizės metodai.
The concept of a national innovation system was invented by Bengt-Åke Lundvall and Chris Freeman. Unfortunately, this concept is characterized by the loosely based theoretical designs, which cannot be easily empirically justified because such broad concepts leave much room for interpretations. Furthermore, the explanations of this concept include elements (e.g. knowledge, network connections) that cannot be well operationalised statistically. Developments in the university world context (e.g. globalization and shift in the economy towards innovation-based business) has led to the creation of a new market or entrepreneurial university, which is increasingly starting to copy private-sector business practices and principles. The entrepreneurial university is characterized by a closer cooperation with the business sector, by a larger responsibility for attracting external sources of income and by managerial ethics in the institutional management. These changes replaced the traditional activities of the university that were based on subject delivery. The paradigm is mainly oriented towards the economy and the ideological basis of globalization and in direct conflict with the social mission of higher education and its contribution to the common good, to social renewal and to fundamental development.
