Abstract
The central purpose of this book has been to assess the relationships between innovation, social networks, and the competition for advancement through tertiary education. Its aim was to contribute to our understanding by exploring some of the factors influencing network formation and by describing how changes in the provision of tertiary education help shape new rules of advancement. In addition to contributing to our understanding in these ways, this book has also attempted to provide a framework by which to understand more clearly processes of social reproduction occurring in tertiary education.
