<p>âWith a wealth of comparative data on a few R&D and other indicators, and insightful analytical descriptions of several current issues in higher education, R&D, and knowledge economy, Universities in the Knowledge Society is a valuable addition to the existing research on comparative higher education and knowledge societies.â (Jandhyala B G Tilak, The Developing Economies, February 22, 2022)</p><p></p><p>âThis volume is not only be of interest to those wishing to examine the changing nature of work in academia from an international standpoint, but the case-studies of each individual nation offer key insights into the effects of local and national interest as well as the nuances of cultural and societal needs in each geographic location. ⊠This volume may arguably become a key text for those interested in exploring the knowledge society from an international perspective.â (Alison Elizabeth Jefferson, Journal of Higher Education Policy and Leadership Studies, Vol. 2 (4), 2021)</p>
