Academic Capitalism과 연구효율화를 위한 대학시스템 개편방향

Academic Capitalism and the Direction of Academic System Innovation for R&D Efficiency

Academic Capitalism is one of main steams that university has made. Academic Capitalism means that the resource allocation in the university is made by market forces. Persons who advocate the traditional Ivory Tower will resist the market mechanism in university's resource allocation. But, in several aspect, market mechanism has been in action in the university, whether we recognized it or not. In this paper, five directions of Academic System Innovation were suggested. First, competition among universities should be enforced through decentralization and autonomy. Second, competition among researchers shoul be enforced. Third, government should enlarge the portion of 'use-inspired basic research'. Fourth, autonomy of research units in a university should be enlarged for university's competitiveness. Five, government should provide the environment for structural coupling between university and regional society.
