Originally bastions of state support and aristocratic sponsorship, European institutions of higher learning face market-based forces of competition in recruiting faculty and students that have compelled inexorably transformative adaptations, innovations, and evolutions in their structural complexities. "Learning to Compete in European Universities: From Social Institution to Knowledge Business" is a compilation of informed and informative articles and essays on how and why changes are occurring in European university systems as they adapt to compete with each other as they evolve from government-funded social institutions to capitalism-based 'knowledge business' models. Deftly edited by the team of Maureen McKelvey (Professor, Industrial Management, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg, Sweden) and Magnus Holmen (Associate Professor, Department of Technology Management and Economics, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden), "Learning To Compete In European Universities" is enhanced with the inclusion of numerous tables and figures and a comprehensive index, making it a seminal work of scholarship and a strongly recommended addition to academic library Educational Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
