The Indispensable University describes the innovative
transformation of institutions of higher education (HEIs) across
the world, in response to the emerging realities of the
twenty-first century global knowledge-based economy, as well as
describes how HEIs are defining many of today's economic realities
on a regional level. HEIs continue to drive economic development
through their traditional roles of purchaser, employer, real estate
developer, workforce developer and community developer. But these
roles now must be executed more strategically and collaboratively.
Also, the twenty-first century economy offers universities unique
opportunities to generate the intellectual and financial capital
that drives emerging knowledge-based industries. Case studies are
drawn from: urban America; rural America; Europe; the Middle East;
and emerging countries. Some of the topics covered include the
following: the role of university presidents as change leaders; the
relationship between higher education institutions and the
political leadership of cities, states, and nations; successful
models of partnerships between higher education and the private
sector; and future challenges and opportunities facing the modern
university.
