Enterprise in Higher Education: Issues of Evaluation

The article describes the many ways in which the Enterprise in Higher Education Initiative (EHE) has been evaluated and the extent to which different stakeholders are likely to be satisfied with the Initiative. It also comments on some of the negative criticisms made of the Initiative and suggests that these are largely due to misunderstandings of what the Initiative had initially set out to achieve. In particular it concludes that EHE cannot be convicted of having tried to pervert academic values to those of the market place.
