Abstract

ABSTRACT Sustainability themes have increasingly gained traction within academia and industry. The knowledge accumulation is at the development stage and remains more understanding about the phenomenon in the black box. Innovative sustainable initiatives are little known, especially in transforming individuals’ values, culture, and well-being. Universities are well-placed to contribute to this academic conversation as they seek solutions and responses to current grand societal challenges through their core activities (teaching, research, and engagement). A good example has been the recent development of disruptions by universities to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Inspired by these debates, this study theorizes/tests how an entrepreneurial university ecosystem contributes to the UN SDGs’ achievement through its core activities and social-entrepreneurial orientation. By adopting a retrospective case study of a Latin-American University, our study provides insights/implications into the configuration of university social entrepreneurial ecosystems and their sustainable contributions to the SDGs.

创业大学生态系统与可持续发展目标的互动：对拉丁美洲大学的调查

摘要可持续发展主题在学术界和工业界越来越受到重视。知识积累处于发展阶段，对黑匣子中的现象仍有更多的了解。创新的可持续举措鲜为人知，尤其是在改变个人价值观、文化和福祉方面。大学在通过其核心活动（教学、研究和参与）寻求解决方案和应对当前重大社会挑战时，完全有能力为这场学术对话做出贡献。一个很好的例子是最近大学为应对新冠肺炎大流行而进行的干扰。受这些辩论的启发，本研究对创业大学生态系统如何通过其核心活动和社会创业导向为实现联合国可持续发展目标做出贡献进行了理论化/测试。通过对一所拉丁美洲大学的回顾性案例研究，我们的研究为大学社会创业生态系统的配置及其对可持续发展目标的可持续贡献提供了见解/启示。
