ICTs and ICT4Ds are powerful socio-economic enablers within developing countries and provide members of "underserved" communities within these countries with tools for selfempowerment and circumvention of inequalities. Telecentres provide public access to ICTs to meet the educational, social, psychological and economic needs of a community. However, few studies have focused on the influence that telecentres have on the psychological empowerment of members of "underserved" communities in which they are situated. This study addresses this gap by investigating the perceived influence of telecentre components on the psychological empowerment of "underserved" community members in Cape Town, South Africa. This study is interpretive and has been executed through the use of a qualitative case study. Deductive in nature, the research was guided by a conceptual model depicting constructs (intrapersonal factors, interactional factors and behavioural factors) related to the psychological empowerment of telecentre users. The research findings confirm that the various components of telecentres such as services, computer training and entrepreneurial support can positively influence and contribute to the perceived psychological empowerment of "underserved" community members. The findings could improve our understanding of the relevance of various components of telecentres towards leveraging psychological empowerment. In practice, emphasis could be placed on the implementation and elaboration of the most significant components of telecentres within "underserved" communities.

“…Two aspects emerge as critical. In first place, the push to develop an entrepreneurial attitude among students has motivated a range of entrepreneurship education programmes [Oosterbeek et al, 2010]. Second, there has been an effort to adapt educational programmes to meet the needs of the productive sector or at least to involve industry on university boards.…”

T his paper discusses some of the policy issues and best practices aimed at enhancing HEIs performance and improving their impact on society and the economy within the knowledge triangle. The knowledge triangle concept aims at exploring ways to better align and integrate the research, education and innovation functions of HEIs. The paper describes the contents of the knowledge triangle, HEI performance through the lens of this concept, policies to promote the knowledge triangle in HEIs, as well as potential contradictions in relation to other knowledge producers, such as public research centers and companies.Keywords: knowledge triangle; research; education; innovation; third mission; regional ecosystems; placebased policy; higher education institutions (HEIs); universities; knowledge transfer.The conclusion is that there is no single model for universities and the knowledge triangle. This is due to the country-specific peculiarities of educational systems, diversity within HEIs themselves and the functions they perform, as well as the specific features of regional ecosystems. Accordingly, the key to the efficiency of the knowledge triangle tools is their place-based adjustment. In order to achieve a tangible contribution of universities to the development of regional and local innovation, it is necessary to ensure complementarities and a balance between their missions.

“…Though the number of experiments and research papers on entrepreneurship and innovation education in western countries has increased [4,7,8,9], they have failed to provide a comprehensive list of competences a student should acquire to be prepared for entrepreneurial and innovation-oriented activity. The papers describe mainly some specific practices of entrepreneurship training [10,11,12], with a special emphasis on particular skills and features of entrepreneurial, creative or innovative activities, rather than representing those competences as a comprehensive integral structure [13,14,15].…”

Abstract. The article examines the problems of the transition of modern Russia towards the formation of an innovative economy, with a special emphasis on the investigation of the key challenges that Russian universities face while training engineers equipped for innovative activities. The paper considers the impact of cultural characteristics of the Russian society on the organization and content of an education process in a technical university, on "producing" engineers capable of developing innovation. In our analysis we use a comparative approach, as well as the outcomes of the etnometric studies based on the method by G. Hofstede. The study presents the comparative analysis of the organization and content of engineering training at two universities representing Russia and the United States. The results of the study show that further productive development of the Russian system of engineering education towards integration with Western systems is possible provided that the value orientation of the Russian state and society is significantly revised.
