Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading expert challenges the prevailing gloomy outlook on higher education with solid evidence of its successes Crushing student debt, rapidly eroding state funding, faculty embroiled in speech controversies, a higher-education market disrupted by online competition—today’s headlines suggest that universities’ power to advance knowledge and shape American society is rapidly declining. But Steven Brint, a renowned analyst of academic institutions, has tracked numerous trends demonstrating their vitality. After a recent period that witnessed soaring student enrollment and ample research funding, universities, he argues, are in a better position than ever before. Focusing on the years 1980–2015, Brint details the trajectory of American universities, which was influenced by evolving standards of disciplinary professionalism, market-driven partnerships (especially with scientific and technological innovators outside the academy), and the goal of social inclusion. Conflicts arose: academic entrepreneurs, for example, flouted their campus responsibilities, and departments faced backlash over the hiring of scholars with nontraditional research agendas. Nevertheless, educators’ commitments to technological innovation and social diversity prevailed and created a new dynamism. Brint documents these successes along with the challenges that result from rapid change. Today, knowledge-driven industries generate almost half of U.S. GDP, but divisions by educational level split the American political order. Students flock increasingly to fields connected to the power centers of American life and steer away from the liberal arts. And opportunities for economic mobility are expanding even as academic expectations decline. In describing how universities can meet such challenges head on, especially in improving classroom learning, Brint offers not only a clear-eyed perspective on the current state of American higher education but also a pragmatically optimistic vision for the future.
Download or read book Industrial Clusters Upgrading and Innovation in East Asia written by Akifumi Kuchiki and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lucid and informative book analyzes the problems of clusters in transition through studies of agglomerations at different stages of development in various East Asian countries. The contributors reconsider industrial cluster policy within a more dynamic and long-term framework, and explore how regional transformations can bring new insights to the theory of agglomeration and innovation. By identifying the factors and policies to promote upgrading, the authors establish the theoretical and policy basis for transforming industrial clusters from production-oriented to innovation-oriented agglomerations. They also study the important structural changes in the region, such as FTAs and the role of the WTO, and the consequent effects on clusters.

Download or read book Knowledge Governance in an Industrial Cluster written by Farah Purwaningrum and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2014 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explains why there persists a divergence of academia-industry-government inter-linkage in the Indonesian science system. This divergence constrains the capacity of the science system in localizing knowledge from the supply chain linkage and demonstrates the centralized character of the Indonesian science system. Additionally, the book shows that the Jababeka Industrial Cluster is shaped by the supply chain linkage and, thus, lacks the capacity of a knowledge cluster. Therefore, horizontal collaboration between academia-industry is restricted and limited. Dissertation. (Series: ZEF Development Studies - Vol. 27)
Download or read book Industrial Clusters written by John F. Wilson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Clusters shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic of industrial clusters, with a particular focus on clustering in the UK, bringing together a chronological coverage of the phenomenon. This set of original essays by a group of leading business and industrial historians offers fresh perspectives about clusters and clustering. A primary emphasis of the collection is how knowledge is generated and disseminated across a cluster, and whether these processes stimulated innovation and consequently longer-term sustainability. This analysis also prompts questions about which unit of analysis to examine, from the entrepreneurs and firms they created through to the industry as a whole and district in which they are located, or whether one should look outside the region for explanatory factors. Covering regions as diverse as North Wales, the Scottish Highlands, the City of London, the Potteries, Sheffield and Lancashire, the essays have been channelled to provide a detailed understanding of these issues. The editors have also provided a challenging Conclusion that suggests a new research agenda that could well unravel some of the mysteries associated with clustering. This edited collection will be of interest to international researchers, academics and students in the fields of business and management history, innovation, industrialisation and clusters.

Download or read book The Role of Universities in Industrial Cluster Development written by Evan T. Berryman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-growth industrial clusters can be engines of economic growth through the development of human capital, knowledge spillovers, and early-stage investment. For the past 50 years, Stanford University has been a catalyst in developing Silicon Valley as a global center for technology innovation in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ohio University now has the opportunity to leverage the Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) and Russ Research Center (RRC) to play a similar role in producing an industrial cluster centered around emerging technologies in aerospace and defense in the greater Dayton, Ohio area. A significant gift from noted alumni Fritz and Dolores Russ provided Ohio University with the RRC in Southwest Ohio, and Ohio University's usage of this facility could result in significant financial and social return on investment for the University and the State of Ohio. This work looks to explore the structures and components of industrial clusters, the economy of the greater Dayton region and Ohio University's potential role in the Dayton ecosystem through the RRC. The overall objective is to provide decisionmakers at Ohio University with a comprehensive foundation to facilitate discussion surrounding utilization of the RRC. In 1994, Fritz and Dolores Russ (Ohio '42) presented plans to donate property in Beavercreek, Ohio to Ohio University when current tenants' leases expired. As part of this $124 million gift, which remains the largest donation to any public or private engineering school in the country, Ohio University named the College of Engineering and Technology after the Russ family (Keller, 1996). When Fritz and Dolores passed away in 2006 and 2008, respectively, Ohio University took ownership of the property and renamed it the "Russ Research Center." In addition to the gift, the Russ family's professional legacy carries significant weight. After working at WPAFB, Fritz and Dolores Russ founded a leading electronic and automation corporation called System Research Laboratories (SRL). Through its merger with Arvin Industries in 1987, SRL provided software, artificial intelligence, and laser technology to the United States Government. After exiting SRL, the Russ family retained SRL's physical property and founded the consulting firm Russ Venture Group. The Russ Venture Group leased out SRL offices to portfolio companies. The property originally occupied by SRL and then the Russ Venture Group is the property now referred to as the Russ Research Center. As Ohio University determines its course of action with the Russ Research Center, it is critical that the institution has a strong understanding of cluster development, Dayton's economy, and the potential implications of its decision. Therefore, this work will elaborate on industrial clusters, Dayton and its historical, current and future economy, and the impact of various use cases of the Russ Research Center within the Dayton region. The primary objective of this body of work is to examine the potential outcomes of Russ Research Center use cases for Ohio University. This research should inform discussions among leaders of Ohio University's management team and enhance clarity for the Board of Trustees at Ohio University surrounding debated utility of the land. Dayton's current and historical profile, as well as the potential effects on Ohio University's financial position and industry connections, are important pieces of information that may help influence the course of action for the Russ Research Center and the formation of an industrial cluster in the Dayton region.
Download or read book Marketing Management In Geographically Remote Industrial Clusters Implications For Business to consumer Marketing written by George Tesar and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to cover marketing management issues in geographically remote industrial clusters (GRICs). The phenomena of GRICs have increased in importance, especially in the Nordic countries, due to changes in industry structures as well as political ambitions. The practice of marketing and marketing management is not singular to industry clusters in Nordic countries. Remote areas in parts of the United States, South and Central America, and South East Asia exhibit similar tendencies.The problems faced by many entrepreneurial managers managing start-up or even existing enterprises are complex and require an in-depth understanding not only of the problems themselves, but also of the contextual framework in which these problems need to be solved. This book contains original cases that cover issues like cluster formation, information gathering, marketing strategies and operations, and information-technology. Examples come from industries like textile & furniture, automobile, agro-machinery, food, wine, software, and management consulting.
Download or read book Growing Industrial Clusters in Asia written by Shahid Yusuf and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-03-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial clusters in Silicon Valley, Hsinchu Park, and northern Italy, and in the vicinity of Cambridge, U.K., have captured the imagination of policymakers, researchers, city planners and business people. Where clusters take root, they can generate valuable spillovers, promote innovation, and create the critical industrial mass for sustained growth. For cities such as Kitakyushu, Japan, that are faced with the erosion of their traditional industrial base and are threatened by economic decline, creating a cluster that would reverse the downward trends is enormously attractive. Growing Industrial Clusters in Asia offers practical guidance on the nature of clusters and the likely efficacy of measures that could help build a cluster. It draws on the experience of both established dynamic clusters and newly emerging ones that show considerable promise. The insights that result from its anlaysis will be of particular interest to policy makers, urban planners, business people, and researchers.
