'One of the most attractive features of the book is that chapters are mostly written by well known experts in the field. . . This is a book that has much to offer scholars researching the changing role of universities, for managers in universities facing the reality of competitive pressures, as well as policy-makers caught up in the "knowledge business" game. The editors have done an excellent job highlighting different aspects of how this game is currently being played.'
