“…4 There is a group of 53 universities, called federal universities, that are controlled and supported financially, with public funds, by the Ministry of Education. These federal universities are attended by only 10% of those in the 18-24 age-group but are responsible for more than 50% of research carried out in Brazil (Mello et al, 2008). There are also universities funded by the states, and private universities.…”

“…However, despite the substantial increase in graduate numbers that occurred, in 2006 Brazil was producing only five PhD graduates per 100,000 inhabitants. Mello et al (2008) points out that: 'Brazil has arrived at the 21st century with a complex productive structure and a reasonable research system, either with regard to the number of Master's and PhD graduates or to its share in international scientific publications. However those two systems continue to be quite far apart from one another.…”

“…All levels are constantly evaluated by the Ministry of Education. At least 33% of the faculty staff work full-time and 50% have a Master's or PhD degree (Mello et al, 2008). 5 For details of the Innovation Law see, for example: http://www.wipo.int/sme/en/documents/brazil_innovation.htm.…”

This study is part of a broader research project, conducted by the Triple Helix Research Group – Brazil, focusing on university–industry– government linkages in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The case study reported here is that of the Regional University of Volta Redonda: the aim was to develop an understanding of how a regional university can be transformed into an entrepreneurial university, oriented towards assisting regional economic development. A theoretical framework was constructed using existing literature on regional development and the Triple Helix approach. The research objective was to determine the relevance and effects of university–industry collaboration from the perspective of local players. Two surveys were conducted, one with faculty members at the university and the other with representatives of companies located in the region. No cultural barriers to collaboration were revealed on either side of the relationship; and opportunities to improve a relationship that, in the past, has had little influence on economic development in the region were also identified.

“…Rather, de facto societal third mission is very important in many countries, but is not explicitly mentioned in most papers, as the awareness refers to technological third mission. For instance, in Brazil, the engagement of universities in legal advice, medical services, or regional planning is taken as self-evident (De Mello et al, 2008) and is not discussed in the country paper of this special issue in further detail.…”

The third mission encompasses all activities of universities beyond their first and second missions, education and research. An analysis of various countries with different economic, political and geographic features reveals an increased demand for such activities in particular with regard to technology transfer, but also as to the support of the civil society in more general terms. Therefore the universities have to find a new balance between education, research and transfer/extension. However, suitable solutions are often complicated by the orientation of the universities and the policy actors on non-scrutinized paradigms originating in other contexts. The strategies in different countries are embedded in their specific context, making it impossible to determine a best practice. Nonetheless, many interesting approaches can be observed, and mutual learning can be fruitful.

“…This new era of industrial revolution 4.0 creates new kinds of challenges for university and their leader to deal with the situation and take the opportunities to attain achievements [11], [36]. There is a change in the functions and roles of the university in the midst of society during this period, initially it roles focus on the education and preparation of human resources for industrial need [37], then more functions as a center for the new innovative generation and community empowerment [17]. Moreover, today all those functions are more crucial, the university has to take roles as the leader in this remarkable technology and information advance era [38], [39].…”

University is a remarkable institution which is always expected to change the world through its constantly innovative technology and science advancement and civilization promotion. Academic institution relies on its efficacious leader with vision and implementation to fully accomplish its missions. However, limited attention goes to this crucial leader’s requirements and characteristics, even faculty members in the higher education institutions studiously conduct research for external organizations. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis addressing innovative academic leader’s characteristics based on the current global situation, university mission, and unique culture. Finally, this article concluds the competencies and characteristics of efficacious academic leader demands in this changing era: envisioning the institutional future, integrating social resources with reciprocity, modeling the way with morality and integrity, executing university missions with professions and humanity, empowering team members with full support, and inspiring students with humanity. Those integrated characters could effectively guide faculty members for their future self-development, and contribute to achieving university mission on science development, producing high-quality human resources, and contributing of the human civilization promotion. This conclusion retrospectively raises further suggestions for future study, how faculty members build these characters considering the unique and complex situation of interpersonal and external factors within the university.
