Internal administrative barriers and a lack of incentives may impede students, researchers, professors and administrators to think and act entrepreneurially. Efforts to develop entrepreneurship skills support may not be fully effective because of a missing interface with the local economy’s wider entrepreneurship support system. There is, therefore, a need for the university leadership to create synergies between education, research and entrepreneurship and to establish an incentive and rewards system that targets professors and researchers, administrative personnel or universities as well as students.
