Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present a new performance measurement concept and a relevant methodology for entrepreneurial universities which serves the ideal of transforming into an innovative one and contributing to the economic development and societal benefits. The current Entrepreneurial and Innovative Universities index which is in place in Turkey is evaluated according to the available perspectives in excellence of Higher Education Institutions and domains for advancement are being discussed. Furthermore, standard evaluation of the universities with ranking methodology is argued proposing a conceptual framework based on non-linear dynamics of systems thinking. Consequently, further directions in research, policy and university management are delivered putting forward the view that the entrepreneurial university ecosystem requires innovative approach in all aspects.
