MIT AND THE RISE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL SCIENCE

"MIT and the Rise of Entrepreneurial Science is a book that analysis the transformation of the university's role in society as an expanded one involving economic and social development as well as teaching and research. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology invented the format for university-industry relations that has been copied all over America and latterly the rest of the world. This book shows that these ground-breaking university-industry-government interactions have become part of the foundations of modern successful economies." "Henry Etzkowitz has written a book that will be of great interest not only to all those with a connection to MIT, but also to anyone with a more general interest in entrepreneurial universities, innovation and economic development as a whole."--Jacket.
