商品簡介
European contributors address the organizational contexts in which university research is carried out and detail the ideal and real interactions between organizational transformation and scientific change. Part 1 examines institutional change and the transformation of universities as strategic organizational actors, and Part 2 investigates the contradictory consequences of institutional change on intellectual innovation in the public sciences. Some specific subjects discussed include university funding and evaluation agencies, patterns of cooperation in academic research centers, authority structures for high-risk research, necessary conditions for research in evolutionary developmental biology, and the varied impact of international large-scale student assessment on the educational sciences in four European countries.
