Abstract

Since the first universities were established more than a millennium ago, we have seen a remarkable rise of universities worldwide. Yet, over time widespread concerns have repeatedly been raised about the crisis of the university and research on universities is largely occupied with contemporary changes. Research also tends to focus on cross-national differences in the operation, governance and organization of universities. At the same time, universities are recognized everywhere, the main idea of a university stays robust and generalized. Characterizations of universities as ivory towers are still dominating many discussions and spur reforms. Lots of resources are poured into seeking to increase their exchange with society at large. But, universities have constantly changed with society and are central for the emergence of a global knowledge society. The book The University and the Global Knowledge Society fills an important need of contrasting the many current discussions on crisis, changes and variations across universities with the unprecedented success of one of our societies’ grand institutions.

媒体评论:大学与全球知识社会

自从一千多年前第一所大学建立以来，我们看到了世界范围内大学的显著崛起。然而，随着时间的推移，对大学危机的广泛关注一再被提出，对大学的研究很大程度上被当代的变化所占据。研究也倾向于关注大学在运作、治理和组织方面的跨国差异。与此同时，大学在世界各地都得到了认可，大学的主要理念保持了稳健和普遍化。将大学定性为象牙塔仍然主导着许多讨论，并促使改革。大量的资源被投入到寻求增加他们与整个社会的交流中。但是，大学随着社会的变化而不断变化，并且是全球知识社会出现的中心。《大学与全球知识社会》一书填补了一个重要的需求，将当前关于大学危机、变化和变化的许多讨论与我们社会的一个大机构的前所未有的成功进行对比。

期刊介绍： Organisation Studies (OS) aims to promote the understanding of organizations, organizing and the organized, and the social relevance of that understanding. It encourages the interplay between theorizing and empirical research, in the belief that they should be mutually informative. It is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal which is open to contributions of high quality, from any perspective relevant to the field and from any country. Organization Studies is, in particular, a supranational journal which gives special attention to national and cultural similarities and differences worldwide. This is reflected by its international editorial board and publisher and its collaboration with EGOS, the European Group for Organizational Studies. OS publishes papers that fully or partly draw on empirical data to make their contribution to organization theory and practice. Thus, OS welcomes work that in any form draws on empirical work to make strong theoretical and empirical contributions. If your paper is not drawing on empirical data in any form, we advise you to submit your work to Organization Theory – another journal under the auspices of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) – instead.
