Abstract: I argue that the ideal of free research versus the managerial model is a false distinction. The real question is which kind of management should be applied at the university. I show that the origin of the current malaise is in the imposition of the wrong management model on the university. There exist alternative models, however. In this paper, I show that seeing the university as part of a gift economy could be at the basis of new guidelines for management reform in the organization of higher education and scientific research.
