review 1: CHRISTENSEN, Clayton M.; EYRING, Henry J.: „The Innovative University. Changing the DNA of Higher Education from the Inside Out”, San Francisco 2011Vieles ändert sich heute in unserer Gesellschaft. So auch das Universitätssystem. Neue Technologien haben Einzug gehalten. Die beiden Autoren versuchen eine Antwort zu finden, es ist aber nur ein weiterer Vorschlag. Verlängerung des Studiums durch ein Foundationprogramm, einem Übergangsprogramm von der Mittelschule zur Universität. Sie setzen sich auch mit der Unterscheidung zwischen College und University auseinander. In Europa eine ähnliche Diskussion mit Fachhochschule und Universität.Sie sprechen sich gegen die Bezahlung für Lehre aus.Die guten Universitäten werden die schnellen sein. Innenorientierung konverti... moreert zu Außenorientierung.(Hinterbrühl, 10.03.2012)
review 2: It is not a book like Porter's Redefining Health CareBut it created an impact for me. May be because i am a newbie in higher education.Creating that impact took a long time. Skip all the history stuff (just study the tables) and focus on the last chapters, dealing with the challenges.I missed parts about the impact of the baby boom or a lengthy discussion how publishers (and even content curators) might become competitors for higher education institutions.Still a worthy read. And it made me wonder what has happened and will happen to my professional expertise.From the bookThe Innovative University illustrates how higher education can respond to the forces of disruptive innovation , and offers a nuanced and hopeful analysis of where the traditional university and its traditions have come from and how it needs to change for the future. Through an examination of Harvard and BYU-Idaho as well as other stories of innovation in higher education, Clayton Christensen and Henry Eyring decipher how universities can find innovative, less costly ways of performing their uniquely valuable functions.Offers new ways forward to deal with curriculum, faculty issues, enrollment, retention, graduation rates, campus facility usage, and a host of other urgent issues in higher educationDiscusses a strategic model to ensure economic vitality at the traditional universityContains novel insights into the kind of change that is necessary to move institutions of higher education forward in innovative waysThis book uncovers how the traditional university survives by breaking with tradition, but thrives by building on what it's done best. less
