Tiivistelmä: | Within the context of " the engine of globalisation", the author explores the rigidities and inefficiencies in "traditional" American higher education institutions. He points to the ways in which the pro-profit university can overcome these problems, while at the same time being a net contributor to the tax system. In particular, he suggests that it is the profit motive that makes the University of Phoenix responsive to its customers, and technologically innovative. |
