Respondents participate in this research 146 people from public and private universities. Almost all of hypotheses testing are proven to have significant influence using PLS (Partial Least Square). This study successfully proved that organizations can improve learning orientation and entrepreneurial orientation among middle manager in higher education institutions. This research also has succeeded in proving that entrepreneurial orientation and commitment to learning have been proven to improve public value (performance). In the future, this modelling can be used as a reference for conducting field studies, so that concrete facts in the field on the "possibility to achieve entrepreneurial university in Indonesia" can be obtained.
