I'm attending this forum because, although I am not particularly interested in research on higher education, I am interested in working at Seoul National University, one day. This is a networking event.
Pathway to the Labor Market-Job Search of the College Graduates in Central China
Is network-based social capital theory related to relationship in an Asian sense? How is relationship different from other ways to leverage network-based social capital?
Maybe the method could be focused more on the social, that is, how people factor into these questions.
Social Capital and Gender: Women Graduates' Job Search
This presenter isn't presented information in a clear and fluid manner. The presenters' choppy presentation affects my comprehension.
If Chinese employment success is related to social connections, then what is more important to employment success outside the Chinese context? Indeed, I assume that relationship is not a Chinese thing but a human thing.
A Case Study of University-Industry Partnership in China
By what human means does the industry enter the university and vice-versa: is there a social network which maps who the key contact points are between the university and the industry? And what are these people's roles? These people are important to foster greater cooperation between universities and industries.
This was a presentation at the most general level, at the organizational level; I wonder about the relationship at the human level. Who are the people who keep this relationship going?
A Study on the Characteristics of University-Industry Cooperation in South Korea
Who are the people at the core of U-I cooperation?
A quantitative study to contrast with the previous qualitative study on the same subject!
Strategies for Diversification of Financial Resources in Korea Universities
Which industries are involved in university-industry-governement collaboration? Are most of these chaebols?
Cluster analysis: this seems like a useful analytical strategy.
Isomorphism of Vision and Development Goals in Development Plan of Korean Universities
What about strategies for exporting Korean education in the same way that Korean media is exported?
How do we assure validity of this analysis? Any internal or external validity mechanisms?
As a networking bonus, I attended the Higher Eduction in the Global Economic Crisis: Looking for a Third Way. This is another way to network with the SNU students.
Curious assumptions about economic cycles, as if there are predictable types.
The widening gaps between primary and secondary expenditure and tertiary expenditure may indicate how these educational institutions are funded, in general. For example, university-industry collaboration may bolster university's war chests so that universities rely less on public funds.
Is Hong Kong's quixotic pursuit to be a world class university the reason for which it is broke?
Curiously, if a collection of talented students is needed, why do Hong Kong universities set a studentship band, cartel-style?
How is cost being transferred to students by type of student?
What about changing the rules of the world-class university game, that is, the ranking system? This might entail renaming university rankings as graduate school rankings: at the very least, there needs to be a greater emphasis on teaching and learning, students and professors, and others.
How can university ranking systems be changed to reflect this third-model? In practical terms, how do we change the quality of the carrot dangling before universities, politicians and the media?
