University Governance and Reform: Policy, Fads, and Experience in International Perspective - Paperback

by H. Schuetze (Editor), W. Bruneau (Editor), G. Grosjean (Editor)

The fascination with the commercial value of research, coupled with the rise of neo-liberal 'new public management' in the public sector, has led to the rise of a managerial class in the university. These essays focus on the widespread use of business models and market principles that have undermined the autonomy of the professoriate.
