Temporary debate of universities functions: is the knowledge transfer manifestation a neo-liberal paradigm?
For a long time we were witnessing the moving logic of economic activities to other spheres of social life. It should, therefore, take the debate over its reach and impact on the functioning of the universities too. Teaching and research were two traditional activities of universities to which now the third equally important one is added; the knowledge transfer. This has given rise to a whole new set of practices aimed at the improvement of the ways that knowledge is created, applied and transferred within and between organizations. In the most developed countries, we can find many successful examples of cooperation between universities and their business environment in creating innovative hubs. The question arises how these practices influence universities as knowledge created organizations.
