axes, entrepreneurship, innovation, modelAbstract
Today in higher education there is a need for a higher quality preparation that adapts to the new educational philosophies, since the New Mexican School and the University Center of Los Altos (CUAltos) of the University of Guadalajara, have as an objective, to provide the conditions for the student of any area of knowledge to become a generator of new knowledge that lead to entrepreneurship. CUAltos has proposed a model based on five axes, the first one, the university, which is where plans, study programs, administrative policies, administrative, teaching and research personnel intervene, with the student as the main objective, the second axis, the industry, which is the key to the development of nations and demands highly qualified professionals, and the third axis, the government, which finances the public university, the government that funds the public university and develops policies that benefit productivity and national development, the fourth axis, the media responsible for promoting academic and cultural advances and technological innovation, and finally, socio-ecology that highlights the importance of the environment and its relationship with innovation in the knowledge economy. This model is considered essential to offer the best answers required by a society that is increasingly involved in improving the quality of life and care of the planet. This research adopts a mixed and transversal approach, based on surveys directed to students of different specialties that have been studied in the development of Entrepreneurship and Innovation projects. Likewise, it seeks to generate conditions that allow students, regardless of their area of knowledge, to become creators of new knowledge that drive the development of dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems based on academic entrepreneurship.
