Abstract :
The formation of the entrepreneurial university from the traditional university,is the product of the interaction of the various forces that creativity and collective action is the common characteristics of it. When the University moved to a higher level of energy balance, in other words, from the traditional to the entrepreneurial university level, balance of the forces to maintain the conditions is required so that university wouldn’t go back to the former situattion. After the formation of the entrepreneur university, similarly forces affect the process of technology transfer and commercialization of research findings As one of the most important topics of the third mission of the university. The present Research uses library research and with use of multidisciplinary perspective, analyzes the forces shaping the entrepreneurial university and technology transfer from the perspective of the dynamics, Social Change, linguistics, the physics of electricity, and psychology. The findings suggests that driving forces and restraining forces (The intensity of the applied research and becoming market university) due to circumstances may help to instability, Change, and finally, stability.
