Examines current trends toward increasing links between industry and academia and the resulting commercialization of universities as they seek to capitalize their research.Capitalizing Knowledge explores the academic–industrial interface in a sustained and critical analysis, drawing on expertise in a wide range of disciplines from the U.S., Latin America, and Europe.

The material in the book is original and filled with interesting data and analyses." — Philip Altbach, author of The Knowledge Context: Comparative Perspectives on the Distribution of Knowledge
