{"product_id":"9781138884946","title":"Prestige in Academic Life : Excellence and exclusion","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe achievement of academic excellence is inherently competitive. Deliberate government policies, globalisation and changes in communication technologies mean that competitiveness in the academic world is sharper than ever before. At the centre of this is the seeking of prestige, at all levels from the national system to the individual. \u003ci\u003ePrestige in Academic Life\u003c\/i\u003e aims to increase understanding of motivation in universities by exploring the part that prestige plays, for good and ill. The book’s focus on motivation and prestige helps to answer fundamental questions that run through much discussion on universities, such as why some problems are never solved; why change can be so difficult to achieve; and how individuals and groups can enable it to happen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48730329055467,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":148.3,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781138884946-1.jpg?v=1781659356","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781138884946","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
