Abstract

[In the postindustrial era, universities have accepted more and more responsibility for the development of a “knowledge economy.” At the same time, with the process of globalization, the external environment of the university has changed, and these changes have, in turn, affected the internal organization of academic life. What can we learn from the evolution of academic roles over time? How have academic roles been defined? How have scholars balanced different roles while also fulfilling their core academic duties? How should we value the diverse roles of academics in the modern university? These are the questions discussed in this chapter.]
