Glyn Davis

Chapter 2 in The Business Growth Benefits of Higher Education, 2014, pp 7-14 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Universities in the British tradition were not designed to engage with business. Historical legacy instead locks universities into a model that looks to the professions and to academic peers for support and validation.
