A scholarly review of the most important topic in academic affairs of the 20th century,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ivory Tower and Industrial Innovation: University-Industry Technology Transfer Before and After the Bayh-Dole Act (Innovation and Technology in the World E) (Hardcover)
Mowery, Nelson, Sampat and Ziedonis do the world a favor by taking a remarkably impartial look at the effect of the odious, but well-meaning Bayh-Dole act. Their research is careful and thorough and really allows the reader to form his or her opinion on a political bill that reshaped American academic from 1980. My own opinion, that it legitimized the worm-rot that is destroying the foundations of a once great system is provided with plenty of ammunition, but those of the opposite persuasion, who mistakenly believe it responsible for Great Leaps Forward, will not find it wanting either. I predict in twenty years, way too late to save the situation, this book will be looked at as the first scholarly work on the dismantling of basic research in America. For a more sensational, but also well-researched book on the topic, try Jennifer Washburn's "University Inc. The Corporate Corruption of Higher Education".
