Learning Factory

By Daniel Berg and Edward Alef

In this book, the authors equate the university to a factory that takes raw material and adds value to output a finished product desired by corporations to buy at some competitive price. The Learning Factory applies the latest management theories to running a university like a company that must make a "profit" to survive.
