Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia has an internationally renowned higher education system, but there is significant scope to enhance its engagement with industry to improve transitions from education to work and lifelong learning. Enhanced engagement will also help to fill existing and emerging skills gaps in industry and, in turn, increase productivity and economic growth. Australia's economic development will be enhanced if, in addition to industry, the higher education sector partners with the vocational education (VET) and secondary education sectors to achieve a more equitable and efficient universal tertiary education system - one that supports the entire population. It is critical that we view our tertiary education system as a coordinated national platform capable of developing the knowledge, skills, and capabilities of learners of the whole population, while also enhancing our economy and society.

Highlighting a wide range of topics such as human resource management, network planning, and institutional structure, this book is ideal for administrators, education professionals, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and students.
Download or read book Universities and Regional Engagement written by Tatiana Iakovleva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of universities’ role in regional engagement has traditionally been focusing on exceptional cases. This book presents a reconceptualization which embraces its underlying complexity and proposes a roadmap for a renewed research agenda. Starting from the grassroots level of universities’ everyday engagements, the book delves into the manifold ways in which university knowledge agents build connections with regional partners. Through 11 empirical chapters, the authors not only chart the diversity among case institutions, engagement mechanisms, and regional contexts but also use that diversity to advance a novel conceptual framework, centered on the process of mundaneness, for unpacking university-regions’ everyday activities, taking into account the dynamic, complex, and co-evolving interplay between (a) key social agents and institutions, (b) the contexts in which they are embedded, as well as (c) the historical trajectories and strategic ambitions underpinning context-specific social arrangements and interactions that are mediated by temporal and spatial dimensions. Drawing on evolutionary economic geography, innovation studies, management and organization studies, and historical perspectives, the volume advances a new mode of understanding university-regional engagement as a form of extendable temporary coupling, which also helps to address perennial policy and managerial questions alike of what to do with universities that do not serve local labour market needs and/or are located in regions suffering from brain drain. The book illustrates such dynamics from diverse national contexts and three continents: Brazil, Caribbean, China, Italy, Norway, and Poland. This book will be valuable reading for advanced students, researchers, and policymakers working in economic geography, regional development, innovation, and higher education management.

Download or read book Enhancing University Industry collaboration via teaching company scheme written by Ken Chan and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of partnering has gained growing attention in the research community in the past two decades. Various issues associated with partnering have been widely investigated in the prevailing literature. These research efforts have built up a solid theoretical foundation for partnering development. A review of prevailing literature indicates that case study, survey and interview are the common research approaches employed for partnering research. Close collaboration between the industry and university can facilitate the research process, especially on soliciting information and insights from practitioners in partnering. To facilitate collaboration between industry and university, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) introduced a collaborative platform, termed as Teaching Company Scheme (TCS), which enables companies to take on university's research expertise to conduct business-specific research projects. At the same time, universities can put the research deliverables into real business world to increase practical values of research. This paper aims to introduce the organization and operation of TCS by a case study on a successful TCS between a utility company in Hong Kong and PolyU. This paper concludes that the TCS is an effective means to foster collaboration between industry and university, resulting enhancement of both theoretical and empirical development of partnering research.
Download or read book Partnerships and Collaboration in Higher Education written by Pamela L. Eddy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current context in higher education is becoming increasingly complex. Coupled with this organizational complexitiy of operations is a climate of diminishing resources and funding for education in general. Calls for educational reform and limited resources make collaborative responses an attractive option because of the ability to pool talent and resources. Collaborative efforts take many forms. Partnerships may emerge from insitutions working together, departments working across institutions or with community partners, or colleges and universities pairing across national borders. Likewise, collaborations may emerge between and among faculty members that resemble more traditional research projects. From these faculty collaborations, organizational partnerships may then develop. This monograph explroes the key building blocks required to create successful joint ventures. One section reviews partnerships from an institutional perspective, another covers individual collaborations, and a section on future issues identifies threats to partnerships, emergence of international partnerships, and steps to create strategic partnerships. The target audience for this volume includes those interested in developing partnerships or better supporting existing alliances. Administrators with a goal of using partnerships to parlay organizational strengths while saving resources can anticipate problems with the formation of partnerships, undersnd the elemtns that provide support for group work, and learn how to frame the partnership to leverage commitment through a shared vision. Faculty interested in collaboration will find many valuable insights regarding the right questions to ask before committing to a project. And policymakers and grant-funding agencies can use the information to craft mandates and grant language to best support successful partnerships. ultimately, understanding the process of developing partnerships can result in more successful collaborations. This is Vol 36 Issue 2 of the Jossey Bass Ashe Higher Education Report. Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Download or read book University Industry R D Collaboration in the United States the United Kingdom and Japan written by D. Rahm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several decades there has been a growing interest in Research & Development (R&D) policy. This is particularly so in advanced industrialized nations that have adopted science- and technology- based strategies for national economic competitiveness. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan -- the three nations that are the subjects of this book -- share this policy strategy. Each of these nations is committed to hamessing the innovations that stern from scientific and technological advance to promote national economic prosperity. Governments can influence their nation's R&D efIort in three general ways. First, they can directly fund the R&D efIort through grants, loans, appropriations, or government contracts. Second, they can provide tax and financing incentives to encourage higher levels of private sector R&D. Third, they can use their power to create inter-organizational collaborations that vastly extend and expand the nation's collective R&D efIort. University-industry collaborations are a principal type of these inter organizational R&D efIorts -- and the focus of this book.
