tailieunhanh - Working Partnerships in Higher Education Industry and Innovation

In 2004,the HSRC ’s research programme on Human Resource Development launched the Working Partnerships Series to explore the extent to which the networked practices that are believed to characterise the knowledge economy have indeed begun to penetrate South African higher education and industry. One of four publications in the series, the focus of this study is to map the scale and form of research linkages and collaborative practices between higher education institutions and industry in three relatively new, high technology fields that have been identified as most likely to generate benefit. | Free download from WORKING PARTNERSHIPS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INDUSTRY AND INNOVATION FINANCIAL OR INTELLECTUAL IMPERATIVES GLENDA KRUSS HSRC PRESS Published by HSRC Press Private Bag X9182 Cape Town 8000 South Africa 2005 Human Sciences Research Council First published 2005 All rights reserved.
