by Josef C. Brada (Editor), Wojciech Bienkowski (Editor), Masaaki Kuboniwa (Editor)

Overview

Higher education is increasingly important to the labor market success of individuals and the prosperity of nations, yet, as this book shows, public funding for higher education is declining. It presents innovative approaches to increasing funding for universities through closer ties with business and through privatization of universities.
