Entrepreneurship is thus a quintessentially organizational phenomenon, even when its collective nature is hidden by individualistic ideological precepts. Although the idea of the entrepreneurial university has been widely accepted, there is still considerable skepticism of its validity. There are three stages and phases to the development of the university as an entrepreneur, with each modality building upon the other, in a usual but by no means necessary order. In an initial phase (University Entrepreneur One) the academic institution takes a strategic view of its direction and gains some ability to set its own priorities, either by raising its own resources through donations, tuition fees and grant income or through negotiations with resource providers.
Castells and Hall already highlighted the importance of metropolitan cities as the milieu of innovation two decades ago, although neither of these two cities featured specifically in their analyses. Vale places his case studies in the context of the emerging cognitive-culture economy, in which creativity and culture-related sectors are becoming increasingly important in terms of job and wealth creation. But the spatial impacts of this cognitive-cultural economy are physically shaped by the existing post-Fordist urban structure, something that in old industrial cities (such as Madrid and Lisbon) is characterised by dereliction and vacancy.
