Abstract(s)
The traditional mission of higher education institutions (HEIs) are training, research, and the transfer
of knowledge to society. Nowadays, the third mission has been gaining importance, considering the
increasing relevance given to the creation of value by HEIs for society. Entrepreneurial activity is one
of the components with more impacts that value creation, but it is still seen as an activity parallel to the
main missions of HEIs, where training still takes on special importance. At the same time, the general ized movement of analysis of the organizational performance of HEIs, associated to its strategy but es sentially associated with national agencies for accreditations and the rankings, have been direct impacts
on its external image and the capacity to obtain students and financing. For the entrepreneurial activity
to move from an activity parallel to a prominent activity within HEIs, it must firstly have a strategic
framework, but also have measurement mechanisms, based on indicators, that allow to understand the
evolution of performance in this area.
