Abstract
In this chapter, we explore these issues from the perspective of Australian universities and provide evidence to allow comparison of Australia's experience with those of our Asian neighbours. First, we briefly describe Australia's higher education system and review the policy context in which higher education operates. Second, we show how the functions of Australian universities have evolved by taking selected examples of important changes within the activities of teaching, research and research training, knowledge transfer and entrepreneurship. Last, we consider some implications for university structures, academic careers and national policies.
