              Abstract. This study is to investigate the academic entrepreneurship in Indonesia from an
              ambidexterity perspective. The aim of this research is to analyze the academic entrepreneurship
              in Indonesia from an ambidexterity perspective. This study utilized the theory of ambidexterity
              by Birkinshaw and Gibson, particularly contextual ambidexterity and employed a quantitative
              methodology with surveyed 155 lecturers from Public Universities in Indonesia using online
              questionnaire. Employing SPSS as a data processing method, the results show a significant
              number of lecturers who desire to become academic entrepreneurs, but a smaller percentage of
              lecturers who actively seek more information about academic entrepreneurs. This result indicate
              the gap between intention to become academic entrepreneur and the behavior as academic
              entrepreneur. Tests of statistical result also indicate that personal networking and the personal
              capabilities of lecturers have a significant impact on academic entrepreneurship. However,
              partial testing shows the affect of personal networking is not significant.

         1.      Introduction
         Currently, the mission of higher education includes not only education and research,
but also the  capitalization of knowledge. Or  we  called it as 'Third Mission of  Higher
Education'.  Now,  the University's knowledge can be monetized. Capitalization of knowledge
(third mission) fosters a closer relationship between universities and knowledge consumers and
transforms institutions into agents of economic growth. National and municipal governments
have  requested that universities play a larger role in the economy through  the creation of
knowledge-based   businesses  based  on  academic   research and  entrepreneurship  training
programs  in response to societal transformations (Jones-Evans & Klofsten, 1997). This third
objective establishes the university as an independent economic  actor. This phenomenon  of
altering the university's role is known as the Entrepreneurial University.
         The transformation of universities into entrepreneurial universities in the United States
and Europe  began decades  ago. The Bayh-Dole  Act, which was  passed in the United States in
1980,  had a substantial impact on  this shift. Universities in the United States and Europe
initiated this change before universities in Asia. Since 2015, in Indonesia, the transformation of
