No other book combines a conceptual analysis of academic freedom and integrity, critique of organizational design. A critique of the pseudo-corporate model used by universities now to justify their behavior and structures. A multi-stakeholder action research process to recreate universities as team-based and socially-engaged institutions. It is the only book on higher education reform through action research and team-based management. It is co-authored by a European and a US professor with a combined 7 decades of experience in universities both as professors and administrators of large programs. It is a book that, unlike the vast critical literature on universities, gets past critique and nostalgia with a forward-looking agenda for democratic, participatory institutional change.
Morten Levin is Professor Emeritus of Industrial Economics and Technology Management at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. With degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Operations Research, Sociology, he has worked as an action researcher on processes and structures of social change.
