ABSTRACT
Higher education in the world has experienced tremendous growth with increasingly marketized and privatized services in order to meet society’s pressing demand for education. Regarding innovation in higher education, scholars have mainly discussed pedagogical innovation and technology-enhanced innovation. Graduate employability has attracted substantial attention from wider society because of higher fees and stronger competition in the higher education sector. This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book. The book provides a review of theoretical foundations of entrepreneurship education and recommends a toolbox for knowledge commercialization and engagement with entrepreneurial communities. It suggests that it is critical for universities to develop trust and leadership skills for students to avoid future economic and value crises. The book conducts a systematic review on social innovation in higher education systems within the European Economic Area. It contains practices and case studies on what universities have done to enhance graduate employability.
