University-Business Partnerships cover

This work assesses the ethical issues arising from the proliferation of university-business partnerships. Bowie pays special attention to the question of whether such partnerships are consistent with the values of higher education, and examines procedures for protecting university values. The work concludes with an extensive section of readings, including articles by David Noble, Nicholas Wade, and Albert Gore, Jr.; copies of historical documents and case studies; and copies of conflict of interest statements from leading universities.

An excellent introduction to the issues—political, legal, social, and ethical—associated with this important phenomenon in contemporary academic life. . . . The book is quite even-handed. . . . An excellent study, clearly useful as a textbook or textbook supplement. -- Paul T. Durbin, University of Delaware
The book is a well-researched and balanced approach to evaluating the university-industry relationships that have arisen over the last two decades. The inclusion of a number of the critical primary source materials provides the reader with important resources for evaluating Bowie's interpretations. -- Martin Kenney, University of California, Davis
After tracing the evolution of the partnership and the growing role of federal and state government as promoters, Bowie provides a comprehensive overview of the problems with such arrangements that should be of concern to academics regardless of field. * Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy *
Bowie's University-Business Partnerships is valuable. . . . Bowie's essay carefully assesses the benefits and risks for universities of partnerships with business. Additionally, the essay contains considerable anecdotal detail illustrating risks gone wrong. -- Deborah A. DeMott, ACADEME
