Abstract
Drawing upon the entrepreneurial spirals concept, this article examines how managerial practices influence entrepreneurial intent in traditional academic activities. The international inquiry analyses innovative teaching into six business schools in France, Canada and Morocco. At the complex interplay between individual goals and organizational objectives, three entrepreneurial loops are identified: converging, diverging and absence of loop. Findings suggest that university management remains a challenge as an appropriate balanced management is required for the changing university’s mission towards social and economic well-being. The conditions of successful academic entrepreneurial activities are outlined across three propositions.
Keywords:
- Academic entrepreneurship,
- educational innovations,

Résumé
A travers le concept de spirales entrepreneuriales, cet article examine comment les pratiques managériales influencent la dynamique entrepreneuriale des activités académiques traditionnelles. L’analyse d’innovations pédagogiques dans six établissements de l’enseignement supérieur de la gestion en France, Canada et Maroc, montre que le management des établissements universitaires reste un défi pour leur participation accrue au développement économique et social. L’interaction complexe, entre les objectifs individuels et organisationnels, aboutit à trois types de trajectoires : convergente, divergente et absence de dynamique. Trois propositions viennent éclairer les conditions de succès d’un processus entrepreneurial en contexte académique.

Resumen
Con el concepto de espirales empresariales, este artículo examina cómo las prácticas de gestión influyen en el proceso empresarial en las actividades académicas tradicionales. El análisis de las innovaciones educativas en seis instituciones de educación superior en administración en Francia, Canadá y Marruecos, muestra que la administración de las instituciones académicas sigue siendo un desafío por su mayor participación en el desarrollo económico y social. La interacción compleja entre los objetivos individuales y organizacionales conduce a tres tipos de trayectorias: convergente, divergente y falta de dinámica. Las condiciones de las actividades empresariales académicas exitosas se describen en tres proposiciones.
Palabras clave:
