This book demonstrates that universities are subject to fundamental
change, evolving from science-based, monodisciplinary institutions
into transfunctional, 'international know-how hubs' named 'third
generation universities' or 3GUs. J.G. Wissema explores the
combination of forces that propel this dramatic change, tracing the
historic development of universities, and exploring the
technology-based enterprises, technostarters and financiers for
start-ups and young enterprises that are the main partners of these
3GUs. He goes on to illustrate that universities play a new role as
incubators of new science- or technology-based enterprises and take
an active role in the exploitation of the knowledge they create.
The book concludes with suggestions regarding the way in which
changes in the university's mission should be reflected in
subsequent organisational changes. Offering practical advice on the
route forward for universities, and elucidating the role of
education in entrepreneurship, this unique book will prove
invaluable to academics and practitioners who seek to implement and
facilitate changes for 3GU status. It will also appeal to students
and researchers with an interest in business and management,
education, entrepreneurship and public policy on education.
