| Summary: | This publication provides a case study of two UK universities and focuses on the way in which the management and organisation of research within these institutions has responded to the demands of accountability and in particular the research Assessment Exercise. "The Research Game in Academic Life turns a spotlight on the importance of research in determining the reputation and success of universities and the academics who work within them. It provides an overview of the changing policies of funding and evaluating university research during the last twenty years and analyses how this has impacted on the status and hierarchical positioning of universities in the United Kingdom. Comparisons of research policies in other national systems of higher education are also made, with examples from Hong Kong, the Netherlands and Australia."--BOOK JACKET. |
