These are based on the effective practices of leading and ambitious universities around the world that the authors have benchmarked, and the personal experiences of the authors in a number of international institution building projects, including those of MIT.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors provide guidance that is globally applicable, but must be locally adapted. The approach is first to describe the context in which universities act as engines of economic development, and then present a set of effective practices in four domains: education, research, innovation, and supporting practices. Each of these domains has three to six practices, and each practice is presented in a similar template, with an abstract, a rationale and description, key actions and one or two mini-case studies. The practices are summarized by integrative case studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses on a globally adaptable set of effective practices, complemented by case studies, that can enhance universities’ contribution to economic development, based on an integrated view of education, research and innovation;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents effective practices and broader insights that come from real global experience, spelled out in templates and explained by cases;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes tangible resources for university leaders, policy makers and funders on how to proceed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57405499146622,"sku":"NW9783030475482","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9783030475482.jpg?v=1778681287","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/universities-as-engines-of-economic-deve","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
