Math and Science Programs for improving math and science education at K12 level through are analyzed in terms of a policy that establishes shool-university partnerships.

This study examines the franchising relationships between an institution of higher education in Malaysia (the franchisor) and its overseas/offshore partner institutions (the franchisees) as the latter deliver academic programmes that carry the franchisor's ownership and name. / Thesis (DBusinessAdministration)--University of South Australia, 2008.

This thesis explores the phenomenon of academics’ resistance to materialism in Australian universities. In common with many other public sector employees, academics have experienced significant changes in the management of their institutions over recent years. Many of these changes are associated with increasing ‘managerialism’ – the application of methods and approaches commonly associated with the private sector, to public sector organizations. While previous studies indicate that academics are broadly opposed to such changes, little Australian research has considered how they might be resisting managerialism, in their daily working lives. The study found that academics were resisting managerial practices in a variety of ways. These included public acts of protest, refusal and more ‘everyday’ forms of resistance, such as avoidance and strategic compliance. This resistance was underpinned by shared understandings, values and norms embedded within traditional academic culture, and reflected academics’ negative assessments of the consequences of managerial practices within their institutions. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Industry-University Cooperation Systems are used by government, private enterprises and universities to adapt to a changing world environment spurred on by technological development. These systems can promote a nation¡¦s human resources as a result of research and development or the establishment of new ventures. They also complement knowledge and technology and promote the connection of academia and its application in order to push the nation¡¦s competitive power forward. Taiwan¡¦s Industry-University Cooperation system is similar, but younger than Japan¡¦s. Based on the Flying-Geese Model, a development of countries in Asia, Japan has always held the top ranking of technology management and innovation. Therefore it would be worthwhile for Taiwan to imitate Japan¡¦s Industry-University Cooperation system. The range of the Industry-University Cooperation system is fairly wide, therefore this research paper will study the effects of Japan¡¦s system and the development of the Electric Vehicle industry. The Electric Vehicle (EV) industry offers effective solutions to the problems of global warming and rapid energy depletion. Among advanced countries, Japan has been the most serious in developing an EV industry and has developed advanced technology. Japan¡¦s government has started to combine research and industry in recent years. It has also tried to make policy that is based on technological development and popularizes the EV and eco-friendly car. This research attempts to explain the main links between the Industry-University Cooperation system and the EV industry, including the extent of effectiveness and superiority. This thesis is an analysis of a case study of the cooperation between SIM-Drive Corporation and Keio University. By understanding Japan¡¦s Industry-University cooperation system, Taiwan¡¦s EV industry circles will be more able to connect with academic circles and gain EV development experience by learning from Japan.
