Abstract
Abstract The interaction between universities and business in the field of innovation is practically relatively simple and straightforward, but at the same time requires careful construction of complex processes. All these processes of interaction are directly related to people and the organization. The term “stakeholders” applied only to employees of the enterprise, but due to the current changes, it has acquired a social orientation. The term is now common in many scientific publications. It can be applied to the organization itself and outside the organization in the organization of interaction between universities and business. The purpose of the study was to define and identify the interactions between universities and enterprises, depending on the type of activity. The HEIinovate tool was used to get the result among 2 universities in Kazakhstan and Poland. The results of the study show that the identification of internal stakeholders of interaction between universities and business in the field of innovation plays a key role in the joint work of both parties.
