In a July 2026 episode of Exchanges: A Cambridge UP Podcast, David Teece, in conversation with Alfred Marcus, discusses why higher education leaders must adapt new approaches in an uncertain era.
Following from the recently published book Dynamic Universities (co-authored by Prof. Teece and Prof. Sohvi Heaton), the interview addresses multiple interconnected risks and opportunities in the tertiary sector, including technological disruption, enrollment challenges, and political impacts.
Dr. Teece makes the case for universities to adapt the dynamic capabilities framework, making it feasible for higher education faculty and administrators to sense, seize, and transform as needed to improve their programs and experiences for their students and broader communities.
