Universities, Innovation and the Economy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Universities are expected to be at the heart of networked structures contributing to the growth "productive knowledge oriented clusters." This book is concerned with the implications of this expectation. A thoroughly useful read, this book highlights how pressure both from the state and industry has produced new paradigms of accountability that now include responsibilities for regional development.
