| Title | The Role of Agency Development in Russia's Higher Education System: How Does It Influence University Graduates' Contribution to the Public Good? |
| Summary | This paper examines how agency values, attitudes and skills are developed at Russia's higher education (HE) institutions entrepreneurship programs and how it helps students and graduates to create a venture with a social value. The empirical part of the research is the conduction of interview with the students, graduates and university faculty members affiliated with Russia's HE entrepreneurship program followed by the analysis within Russia's policy and institutional support context. Findings suggest that Russia's entrepreneurship education is considered vital for developing agency skills, agency skills are recognized as essential for creating a new venture. However, there is no focus on supporting social entrepreneurship initiatives specifically both at the university and government level. Additionally, respondents share the presence of the negative Soviet past influence affecting societal acceptance of entrepreneurship development. The analysis concludes that more measures should be undertaken to introduce social entrepreneurship-related education formats at universities and support measures at both government and university level. |
