Summary

Throughout the industrialized world, universities have undergone remarkable changes since the mid-1980s. The Enterprise University in Australia is the first systematic study of the Australian system since the momentous Dawkins reforms ten years ago. Grounded in case studies of seventeen Australian universities, the authors contend that the modern university can be understood as an "enterprise university," characterized by corporate-style executive leadership.
