Multi-site universities face the challenge of integrating campuses that may have different profiles and orientations arising from place-specific attachments. Multi-campus universities created via mergers seeking to ensure long-term financial sustainability, and increasing their attractiveness to students, create a tension in campuses’ purposes. We explore how mergers in Wales created ‘inadvertent’ multi-campus universities whilst attempting to increase their overall competitiveness. We highlight three tensions that mergers created for contributing to local places, firstly a tendency for internal concentration, investing for growth in metropolitan not peripheral campuses; secondly, to looking beyond traditional local campuses and creating external campuses (in this case in London); and thirdly, to specialise campuses on the basis of attracting external students not local needs. This creates a substantial challenge for managing multi-campus universities if they are to continue to be able to support the prosperity of more remote regions in an increasingly knowledge-based economy. 相似文献

Who matters to universities? A stakeholder perspective on humanities, arts and social sciences valorisation 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Valorisation is at the centre of many debates on the future of academic research. But valorisation has largely become narrowly
understood in terms of universities’ economic contributions through patenting, licensing, spin-off formation and technology
transfer. This emergent restrictive definition of universities’ societal impacts is a worrying development, overlooking the
potential of universities’ knowledge in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS). Our hypothesis is that HASS disciplines’
disadvantage compared to the hard sciences (lesser policy attention and funding for commercialisation) arises because HASS
stakeholders are not sufficiently salient as stakeholders to universities. Using case studies of three policy experiments,
we argue that universities’ responsiveness to stakeholders does not evolve simply and functionally but in response to the
networks of relationships in which they are situated. This has important implications for how stakeholder research is used
in higher education research, and for the design and implementation of policies to improve universities’ societal contributions. 相似文献

Toward a spatial perspective on sustainability transitions 总被引：5，自引：1，他引：4
In the past decade, the literature on transitions toward sustainable socio-technical systems has made a considerable contribution in understanding the complex and multi-dimensional shifts considered necessary to adapt societies and economies to sustainable modes of production and consumption. However, transition analyses have often neglected where transitions take place, and the spatial configurations and dynamics of the networks within which transitions evolve. A more explicit spatial perspective on sustainability transitions contributes to the extant transitions literature in three ways. Firstly it provides a contextualization on the limited territorial sensitivity of existing literature. Secondly, it explicitly acknowledges and investigates diversity in transition processes, which follows from a ‘natural’ variety in institutional conditions, networks, actor strategies and resources across space. Thirdly, it encompasses not only greater emphasis but also an opportunity to connect to a body of literature geared to understanding the international, trans-local nature of transition dynamics. Concerned with the prevalent lack of attention for the spatial dimensions of sustainability transitions in most studies, this paper seeks to unpick and make explicit sustainability transition geographies from the vantage point of economic geography. The paper argues that there are two interrelated problems requiring attention: the institutional embeddedness of socio-technical development processes within specific territorial spaces, and an explicit multi-scalar conception of socio-technical trajectories. Following these arguments, the paper concludes that transitions research would do well to take a closer look at the geographical unevenness of transition processes from the perspective of global networks and local nodes. 相似文献
