“…According to Nour (2014), this transition is seriously hindered by several political, social and economic impediments, such as the lack of freedom, lack of good governance and the lack of awareness about the importance of social and cultural supporting factors. Besides, the lack of political commitment and awareness of this transition results in insufficient public spending on education, innovation and R&D (Nour, 2011(Nour, , 2016. On average, the Arab World's investment in innovation is weak and expenditure on R&D remains low (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO, 2015).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the current state of the knowledge-based economy in two distinctive case studies in the Arab World: Qatar and Lebanon. Based on five aspects of the knowledge-based economy namely: ICT, human capital and education; innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic and institutional regime, we provide a careful view of the obstacles and challenges that Qatar and Lebanon are facing and how this is hindering their transformation to a knowledge-based economy.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology of this research is based on a literature review and information collected through semi-structured interviews with the different stakeholders of the knowledge-based economy in Qatar and Lebanon.FindingsThe research reveals that numerous factors shape the knowledge-based economy in Qatar and Lebanon. In Qatar, the main strength of the knowledge-based economy is the determination of the Qatari government to diversify the economy and the main weaknesses are the shortage of qualified human resources, the fear of failure and the low performance of the innovation system. In Lebanon, the knowledge-based economy is driven by the education system and the entrepreneurship culture, nevertheless the political instability of the country and the weak ICT infrastructure impede its development.Originality/valueThese findings contribute to the clarification and critical analysis of the current state of the knowledge-based economy in Qatar and Lebanon, which would have several policy implications.

“…It is shown how the University 3.0 or 4.0 becomes the basis of the global competitiveness of supranational associations, national economies, and local communities, and its entrepreneurial ecosystem forms new, fast-growing industries, promising technology markets, leading administrative and territorial spaces (Cole, 2010;Nour, 2016). University educational, scientific, and innovation complexes are currently the most important subjects of the innovation market in most countries (Eurostat, 2007).…”

Strengthening the integration of higher education, research, and innovation is a crucial requirement of time. The entrepreneurial university today is considered and analyzed as a promising model for their combination. The educational and scientific systems of many countries are faced with the task of converging all vertices of the “knowledge triangle.” The problem of Ukrainian educational and scientific system is a necessity to implement the concept of formation of the innovation and entrepreneurial model of a modern university, which will enable the effective implementation of administrative reforms in this field. The article aims to analyze the impact of innovative environmental factors on the development of entrepreneurial universities in Ukraine, based on correlation and panel regression analysis. The method of quantitative analysis (panel regression) is used to formulate the key results of the article. The results show that the growth of government expenditures by 1% leads to an increase in the Global Innovation Index by 0.375 in 4 years. Also, every additional 1% of people working with new technologies increases the level of Global Innovation Index by 0.75 annually. Despite European trends, Ukrainian educational environment does not contribute to the development of innovation and entrepreneurial universities (the education expenditures are ineffective). The research provides a vector for understanding the implementation of the most effective strategies of promising innovation and investment development of education and science in Ukrainian universities, considering their existing potential and contemporary world trends of development.

A broad concept of an NIS which encompasses "relationships within and between organizations, institutions and socio-economic structures" (e.g.…”
