Abstract
World Conference on Higher Education in 1998, successfully adopts higher education
vision and missions for the twenty-first century. Two of the six missions and functions
of university and higher education relate to social and humanity issues. First is to
advance, create and disseminate knowledge through researchand provide, as part of its
service to the community, relevant expertise to assist societies in cultural, social and
economic development, promoting and developing scientific and technological
research as well as research in the social sciences, the humanities and the creative arts.
Second is to help protect and enhance societal values by training young people in the
values which form the basis of democratic citizenship and by providing critical and
detached perspectives to assist in the discussion of strategic options and the
reinforcement of humanistic perspectives.1
These missions clearly show that university has socio-economic mandates within its
tri-dharma activities (teaching, research and community services) tocontribute to the
enhancement of socio, political, humanistic and cultural and economic values, and
science and technology development. These orientations imply to the need of a
university to unleash its potential not only to innovate, create, develop and sustain
those social values but also to contribute to the enhancement of economic valuesand
prosperity for improving the quality of life. These orientations are the inherent values
of social entrepreneurship
