The Role of Leaders and Actors in Academy-Business Partnerships: Issues of Risk, Trust, Power, Ethics, and Cooperation
In academic-business partnerships, many challenges plague both sides of the equation. From navigating complex power dynamics to ensuring ethical conduct, managing risk, and fostering trust, these collaborations often seem to walk a tightrope without a safety net. The critical actors involved, such as university leaders, corporate executives, and government policymakers, often struggle to strike the delicate balance required for success. It is a world where mishaps are as common as best practices, and the potential for growth and innovation remains untapped due to these hurdles. The Role of Leaders and Actors in Academy-Business Partnerships: Issues of Risk, Trust, Power, Ethics, and Cooperat...
Bildungsfinanzierung in Deutschland
Über wenige Aspekte der Bildungspolitik besteht in der öffentlichen Diskussion so große Einigkeit wie über die schlichte Notwendigkeit zusätzlicher finanzieller Mittel für die Schulen und Hochschulen. Während mannigfaltige Vorschläge zu ihrer Herkunft und Verwendung existieren - man streitet leidenschaftlich über die Verteilung der Felle verschiedener Bären, die noch lange nicht erlegt oder auch nur gesichtet worden sind - hat man sich bislang jedoch kaum systematisch mit den Ursachen der bislang so offenbar unzureichenden Bildungsausgaben beschäftigt. Aber warum stehen wir eigentlich, wo wir stehen? Welche Rolle spielen die Wirtschaftskraft und der Anteil von Kindern und Jugendlichen an der Bevölkerung, wie wirken sich unser Institutionensystem und die Sozialpolitik aus, und welchen Einfluss haben Parteien und Verbände? Die Antworten auf diese Fragen sollten Grundlage für alle weiteren bildungspolitischen Reformdiskussionen sein, und zu ihnen beizutragen ist der Hauptzweck dieses Buches. Darauf aufbauend skizziert es zudem Szenarien, wie höhere Bildungsinvestitionen in Deutschland realistischerweise zu erreichen sind.
Research Methods in Applied Settings
The authors of this unique text found that while most students can "crunch" the numbers quite easily and accurately with a calculator or computer, many have trouble seeing the "big picture" or seeing how research questions and design influence data analysis. As a result, the authors developed a semantically consistent framework that integrates traditional research approaches (experimental, quasi-experimental, comparative) into three basic kinds of research questions (difference, associational, and descriptive), which, in turn, lead to three kinds or groups of statistics with the same names. This text: *helps students become good consumers of research by demonstrating how to analyze and evalu...
A Perfect Mess
Read the news about America’s colleges and universities—rising student debt, affirmative action debates, and conflicts between faculty and administrators—and it’s clear that higher education in this country is a total mess. But as David F. Labaree reminds us in this book, it’s always been that way. And that’s exactly why it has become the most successful and sought-after source of learning in the world. Detailing American higher education’s unusual struggle for survival in a free market that never guaranteed its place in society—a fact that seemed to doom it in its early days in the nineteenth century—he tells a lively story of the entrepreneurial spirit that drove American...
