Offshore University
Andrew Ross explains the Global U phenomenon and also why talk about “corporate university” is a lazy shorthand:
In all likelihood, we are living through the formative stages of a mode of production marked by a quasi-convergence of the academy and the knowledge corporation. Neither is what it used to be; both are mutating into new species that share and trade many characteristics. These changes are part and parcel of the economic environment in which they function; where, on the one side, a public commons unobtrusively segues into a marketplace of ideas, and a career secured by stable professional norms morphs into a contract-driven livelihood hedged by entrepreneurial risks; and, on the other side, where the busy hustle for a lucrative patent or a copyright gets dressed up as a protection for creative workers; and the restless hunt for emerging markets masquerades as a quest to further international exchange or democratization.

Hi,
Offshore corporations are companies that do not do significant business in their country of incorporation. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Sofia.
