ENGINES OF INNOVATION: THE ENTREPRENEURIAL UNIVERSITY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Book ID/图书代码： 13014010B39166
English Summary/英文概要： In Engines of Innovation, Holden Thorp and Buck Goldstein make the case for the pivotal role of research universities as agents of societal change. They argue that universities must use their vast intellectual and financial resources to confront global challenges such as climate change, extreme poverty, childhood diseases, and an impending worldwide shortage of clean water.
Combining their own experiences cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset within one of the nation’s elite public universities with detailed descriptions of the approaches taken by others, Thorp and Goldstein provide not only an urgent call to action but also a practical guide for our nation’s leading institutions to become major players in solving the world’s biggest problems. The result is a provocative and thoughtful beginning to an important conversation among educators, their supporters and trustees, policymakers, and the public at large as to how the American research university can best meet its societal responsibilities.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在「变革的心脏」一书中，作者霍顿.索普同贝克.戈尔茨坦突出强调了，研究型院校作为一股重要力量于社会革新进程中所发挥的举足轻重的作用。他们指出，研究型高等院校应该充分发挥自身在人才与经费方面的资源优势，以此对当前全球环境下所出现的众多挑战，诸如气候问题、贫困问题、儿童疾病以及全球水资源日益所出现的匮乏，发起挑战。
他们曾成功将这种企业化的发展理念植入到了国内某所知名学府当中，凭借此丰富的经验，再融汇进来自其他有识之士的先进观点，此书便是两者完美结合的产物，在这里，索普和戈尔茨坦不仅向世人们发起号召，同时还提供了实用的意见，以帮助国内更多的学府加入攻克全球性挑战的行列当中，并发挥各自重要的作用。
这是深思熟虑后的一语中的，围绕着全美研究性大学应如何充分承担其社会责任，本书无疑于教育界、政界、支持者以及社会大众中间再次掀起了一场全新的研讨风潮。(Andy & Wendy)
