Chapter Chapter 5 in Creating Innovation Leaders, 2016, pp 105-123 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract There is consensus that higher education institutions in post-industrial economies are experiencing a general crisis, expressed in their lack of flexibility to address contemporary challenges and rapidly changing needs (as touched upon in Chaps. 1 – 3 ). A literature review shows that the debate on cross-, inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary education is still raging among academics (Kozma, 2005). Within this debate a theme has emerged during the last decade for schools of art, design, engineering & applied sciences, centered around the subject of enabling innovation and positive world transformation by design.
