Abstract

This article focuses on analyzing the main elements shaping entrepreneurial governance within Moroccan public universities, with particular emphasis on the Moroccan context. From this perspective, we will identify the factors influencing this form of governance, which aims to generate additional sources of revenue for Moroccan universities, complementing government funding. To achieve these objectives, the research adopted a qualitative methodology, based on semi-structured interviews with managers and stakeholders of Moroccan higher education institutions. The sample size was determined according to the principle of theoretical saturation. Indeed, the findings of this study highlight several key elements that play a central role in the implementation of entrepreneurial governance within Moroccan universities. These factors include the creation of time-based training courses, research projects, the commercial exploitation of infrastructure on university campuses, and the provision of consulting services to socio-economic players. These results contribute to a better understanding of this dynamic, which is essential to the performance and financial stability of these higher education establishments.
