Abstract
The concepts and approaches to the innovative and entrepreneurial university model have been reviewed. Two approaches – the University Performance Metrics and the groups of indicators issued by the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development are proposed for studying a specific case of Nguyen Tat Thanh University. Findings from the survey among lecturers and business partners indicate a significant level of agreement regarding the necessity of seven groups of indicators for the innovative and entrepreneurial university model, including Leadership and governance; Organizational capacity, people and incentives; Entrepreneurship development in teaching and learning; Pathways for entrepreneurs; University – business/external relationships for knowledge exchange; The entrepreneurial university as an internationalised institution; and Measuring the impact of the entrepreneurial university. The achievement of indicator groups yielded relatively lower results, thereby demonstrating the disparity between the university's expectations and actual outcomes. Nevertheless, these tools could be considered as effective means for managing indicators, enabling quality benchmarking and fostering continuous improvement in order to enhance the university's overall excellence.
