- 520 1_ |a "This book addresses the critical issue of how and why European universities are changing and learning to compete. Anglo-Saxon universities particularly in the US, the UK and Australia have long been subject to, and responded to, market-based competition in higher education. The authors argue that Continental and Nordic universities and higher education institutes are now facing similar pressures that are leading to a structural transformation of the university sector." "This book provides a timely and critical reflection on what happens, as European universities transform from government-funded social institutions to become knowledge businesses operating in a competitive regime." "This volume will appeal to a broad audience of researchers, academics and policymakers with an interest in understanding the major transformations universities are currently undergoing."--BOOK JACKET.
