| Abstract: | The paper considers the past development of the research universityin the United States and argues that one way to guide future changeis to embrace a new cultural model. Using Emory University as acase study, along with the more general perspectives offered through aclose study of eleven other private US universities and data assimilatedfrom members of the Association of American Universities (AAU), we proposethat the development of universities resembles the evolution of somecities from village, to metropolis, to global city. The global citymodel, characterised by flexible systems and an open culture, couldbenefit many universities. In describing the next phases of change,our essay discusses these characteristics as they have emerged insome of today's evolving universities. |
