How Universities Can Promote Economic Growth Summary
| With technological capability increasingly becoming the touchstone of competitiveness in an open and integrated world environment, the role of universities in economic growth is taking on a greater salience. Not only do they impart education but also they are coming to be viewed as sources of industrially valuable technical skills, innovations and entrepreneurship. Realizing this potential of universities so as to spur growth is now a priority in developed and developing countries. This calls for coordinated policy actions. The distinguished contributors to this volume examine the wealth of international experience on the efforts underway to multiply linkages between universities and businesses. They offer valuable and succinct guidance on some of the most effective policy measures being deployed by national and regional governments, by firms and by universities themselves to enhance the contribution which tertiary institutions can make to economic change. |
