Lipman Hearne consultant Ben Wildavsky has the answer.
Colleges and universities in the U.S. all but trip over themselves to prove that they are truly preparing their students for a “global economy.” Meanwhile, those same colleges and universities worry that the breakneck growth of higher ed institutions outside the U.S. is a threat to the health of their institutions.
Now Ben Wildavsky, a consultant with Lipman Hearne, has sorted through these contradictions and other issues in The Great Brain Race: How Global Universities Are Reshaping the World. His conclusion: We should all welcome “free trade in minds.”
In his book, published in March, he draws on his travels around the world to provide an in-depth look at higher education in India, the Middle East, and China. He also draws on his work as a senior fellow in research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation.
Wildavsky’s views and observations have already sparked attention in academia and business. Join the debate, enter the race, and find out how the burgeoning higher education business affects all colleges and universities.
