Universities and corporate universities : the higher learning industry in global society

Corporations are setting up their own universities to educate, train and develop not only their own staff, but fee-paying students too.

This analysis synthesizes developments in higher education, training and corporate research and development in order to map the future of learning and training, or what can be called "higher learning".

It addresses the following questions: how can traditional universities respond, if indeed they should at all?; what can the corporates learn from traditional universities; can they work together?; what is the future student going to be faced with for training, skills and development?; and how should academics, trainers and educational managers respond?
