Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five case studies were conducted to collect empirical evidence on innovative mechanisms through which universities worldwide manage their relations with industry. Cases were selected from institutions of higher education in Israel, Papua New Guinea, Turkey, Brazil, and Uganda. These studies were selected for their innovative approaches, but also because they represent a wide range of development contexts. Taken together, the studies confirm the hypothesis that relations with industry have developed considerably over the past decade in all analyzed institutions. The scope of such relations is widening to embrace new types of linkages and new modalities for their implementation. The studies illustrate the variety of options that institutions have with regard to policy-making and organizational development.
