Main Article Content
Abstract
Autoethnography is a recognized research method used broadly in the social sciences. Its use within the area of entrepreneurship has been scarce, few researchers in this area have used the narrative itself (Engstrom, 2012). This article deals with the experiences of two teachers members of the university’s entrepreneurship transversal academy, and its experience in promoting it as the engine of a paradigm shift on a public university in Mexico, revisiting it now using analytical generalization following Chang (2008). The results suggest a broad reflection on organizational, social and cultural aspects, which are immersed in the processes of change in every institution, and how they influence the intention to modify the recent context to one where creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are the axes that contribute in reach the new national
and global policies directed towards the formation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem in a university.
