University ethics is everyone's business, and big business is what
the university is all about whether in the US, Europe or the rest
of the world. How this has come about is less important than that
it has, and is being taken very seriously by global and national
forces. The important issue confronting higher education is its
assumed role in guaranteeing economic prosperity. Governments are
no longer content to let research leak out serendipitously into the
economy. The Post-Industrial Society, Information Society,
Knowledge Economy and Smart Economy require nothing less than
commercially directed research producing innovatory products. The
public interest is reduced to economic measures. The political,
social and moral implications of changing practices in the
university are rarely acknowledged in the rise of the New Alchemy.
This book examines the resulting ambiguities and questionable
evidence in favour of current polices.
