Can I rewrite this sentence:

"The entrepreneurial university has the ability to generate a focused strategic direction, both in formulating academic goals and in translating knowledge produced within the university into economic and social utility."

in this way:

"The entrepreneurial university has the ability to determine a strategic direction that focus on formulating academic goals and on translating knowledge produced within the university into economic and social utility."

Yes, except that "focus" should be "focuses."
