This study identifies the organizational and academic characteristics of the three generations of world universities and their two transition periods. In particular, from the second-generation university (2GU) to the third-generation university (3GU), the higher education institutions have developed from a closed level to an open and flexible level of training and from single disciplines to interdisciplinary research and innovation. In terms of these academic aspects, 3GU is an iterative development of the characteristics of 1GU university, but at a higher level, more comprehensive and more thorough. About the organization, with the proposed 90-degree rotation matrix structure, the 2GU university can move from a centralized and bureaucratic management model to a high autonomy one. The subsidized financial mechanism has shifted to a competency-based competition mechanism. With that transformation, the 3GU generation university can both meet its mission as well as the requirements of industrial revolution 4.0. In particular, with the way the budget is organized into four flows of finance, the 3GU university can completely break with the direct attentions of the government. Universities become fully independent organizations with autonomy in defining their rules of operation. Instead of trying to ensure quality with its own control, the government can let the university system operate on a market competitive mechanism.

The article analyzes the third generation universities and their main features according to the methodology developed by Johan Wissema. The world experience in building third generation universities can be based, according to the authors, on the three main models described in the present study, namely, the models used by Harvard, Cambridge, and the University of Ruse. The main purpose of the present study is to analyze the main advantages of third generation universities on the example of international and Russian practices. The universities, selected as research objects, not only show high results in international rankings and the scientific community but also have strategic importance for the development of their regions. However, the most important criterion remains the commercialization of know-how and the active involvement of the educational organization in the regional economy, which is demonstrated by all three universities selected for the analysis of global practices. Each of the presented models has its peculiar characteristics and can be adapted for forming the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation (Financial University) into a new third generation university that can be created taking into account the capabilities and available facilities and resources, as well as the scientific and educational-methodological base.

This paper examines Rosenzweig?s philosophic project in the context of his time as a critical intervention in the discussion of the place of Jewish thought in the university and in society. If Hermann Cohen represented the first generation of Jewish philosophers claiming that participation in the university is constitutive for the institution?s claim to universalism, the second generation-represented by Martin Buber - was more diffident about the university and its openness. For Buber, literary modernism offered what the university would refuse. Disappointed about the failure of the recognition of the efforts of the previous two generations, Rosenzweig represents the third generation. He turns the situation into a creative response anchoring philosophy as a project that calls for a resolute move outside the university.

We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. The authors understand that university education should embrace the keys to this scenario and do so immediately. Considering this fact, new university teaching should be supported by technological immersion, but also by a culture of proactivity and training in values. The third of these pillars achieves an unimaginable relevance in regards to this emerging industrial revolution, which aims to become the revolution of values. Within this context, the university must move into the practice of ethical values and offer training based on soft skills. Moreover, there is a path that links ethics with soft skills based on the synergy between the two. From this idea, the central objectives of this work are to propose a university model for educational innovation based on values that also includes the tools for its implementation. The chapter ends with a practical case for implementing the model at the fablab that the University of Extremadura has available for its students majoring in Information Technology Engineering.

The aim of the research conducted was to verify the using of the concepts of a learning organisation during the building of the third generation university Methodology. In the research methodology, a systematic literary review was applied, as well as a case study of the Jagiellonian University. The choice of this university was made on the basis of a subjective evaluation of the process of evolution of the university from the second generation to the third generation.

Purpose Development economics is a new sub-discipline in modern economics. The first generation of development economics is structuralism. The second generation of development economics is neoliberalism. Most developing countries followed the above two generations of development economics and failed to achieve industrialization and modernization. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the third generation of development economics, called new structural economics, which advises governments in developing countries to play a facilitating role in the development of industries in a market economy according to the country’s comparative advantages. The paper also discusses how the government may use industrial policies to play this facilitating role and some new theoretical insights from new structural economics. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on the experiences of success and failure in developing countries to generate new understanding about the nature and causes of economic development in developing countries. Findings The structuralism failed because it ignored the endogeneity of economic structure in a country. The neoliberalism failed because it neglected the endogeneity of distortions in the transition economies. Originality/value The paper proposes new policy and theoretical framework for developing countries.
