COMPETÊNCIAS EMPREENDEDORAS EM INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR: ESTUDO DE CASO

Abstract

This research focused on identifying the entrepreneurial skills at the Technical University of Lisbon (UTL), which has an organizational structure compartmentalized in colleges and institutes, so that it is characterized as a bureaucratic and hierarchical organization, where entrepreneurship becomes a challenge for its professoriate, researchers and managers. The methodological path of this research consisted in a phenomenological study and in a field research with a qualitative approach in which the subject discussion and the way of development are new and original, counting with a systematic review by Cochrane Handbook, realized on the Capes website. In the field research, the method of semi-structured face-to- face interviews was adopted focusing on behavior. As to the information given by the interviewees, it were considered the statements which details of behavior were described. This information allowed the knowledge of the entrepreneurs skills exercised to leverage the ISEG Institution, that has remained one of the differentials of the UTL, and for the Portuguese society itself.
