The Innovative University illustrates how higher education can respond to the forces of disruptive innovation and offers a nuanced and hopeful analysis of where the traditional university and its traditions have come from and how it needs to change for the future. Through an examination of Harvard and BYU-Idaho as well as other stories of innovation in higher education, Clayton Christensen and Henry Eyring decipher how universities can find innovative, less costly ways of performing their uniquely valuable functions.

This book uncovers how the traditional university survives by breaking with tradition, but thrives by building on what it’s done best.
