What Business Wants from Higher Education

Author: Diana G Oblinger

It often seems that neither organizations nor people move fast enough to stay ahead of the changes brought about by globalization and technology. Yet both business and higher education are continually challenged to adapt to these changes. This book is intended to stimulate a dialog between the business and academic communities to determine what higher education can do to better prepare students for their future careers.
