Description
Examines current trends toward increasing links between industry and academia and the resulting commercialization of universities as they seek to capitalize their research.
Capitalizing Knowledge explores the academic-industrial interface in a sustained and critical analysis, drawing on expertise in a wide range of disciplines from the U.S., Latin America, and Europe. Using an international focus, the book examines the range of experiences, problems, and solutions that different countries have had in managing academic-industrial links. Of key importance to policy-makers in government, academia, and industry, Capitalizing Knowledge explores the current trends as well as the commercialization of universities as they seek to capitalize their research.
The authors are part of an international research network that over the past five years has examined the capitalization of knowledge in academic-industrial relations. They provide an analysis of the institutional changes occurring today as well as an analysis of its implications. Also explored is the role of the university in economic development, the dynamics of technology transfer, and country-specific analyses of new links between industry and academia.

Reviews / Votes
"Capitalizing Knowledge deals with an important topic that is under much discussion at present. It has an international focus on the topic, which is quite unusual in the available literature. The material in the book is original and filled with interesting data and analyses." - Philip Altbach, author of The Knowledge Context: Comparative Perspectives on the Distribution of KnowledgeMore details
