The Red Light in the Ivory Tower: Contexts and Implications of Entrepreneurial Education
critically analyzes the operational behaviors of prestigious and prestige-seeking universities
particularly within the context of budget shortfalls and increasing competition. The book

behaviors influenced by prestige indicators. Ultimately  the book challenges readers to address
the complex issues of leadership and power within the context of social  political  economic 
and historical influences within higher education. By asking difficult questions about the
entrepreneurial behaviors of prestigious and prestige-seeking universities  stakeholders can
reimagine and reclaim a sense of purpose that can ultimately influence organizational
identities and thus the degree to which their universities support and serve their students 
faculty  and community.
