By employing a sociological lens, it examines how institutions must engage in boundary transactions to uphold their distinct position and identity while simultaneously navigating the potential risks to academic boundaries. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of academic research activities, organization, and outputs within the context of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) departments in UK universities. Through its arguments, which have implications for universities and their stakeholders across the globe, particularly in countries facing challenges of purpose and identity shaped by neoliberal modes of governance and management, this text sheds light on the complexities universities face in their pursuit of excellence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInsights into how universities must balance their roles as teaching institutions, research institutions, and their broader societal significance and impact are of paramount importance. This book serves as a valuable resource for higher education scholars, postgraduate students, sociological theorists, and anyone interested in the future of universities. It offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities universities face as they navigate the rapidly changing landscape of higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 258g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 143 x 224 x 13 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367562984                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eliel Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105116483834,"sku":"9780367562984","price":56.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7470da718ebfb424aaac4db73c8d9629.jpg?v=1622601676","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/university-and-its-boundaries-thriving-or-surviving-in-the-21st-century","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
