Why Global Print Companies should turn their labs into Degree Granting Research Universities and even more about Clickable Postcards

Words + Link + Video = Clickable Print

Reason number one
Most Universities are not living up to their potential and are too expensive and not effective as they can be.

Reason number two
The benefit to a global of proprietary knowledge creation is no longer supported by the expense of supporting it. Imagine what happens to overhead expense if the research lab becomes a profit center - granting degrees - instead of a cost center.

The third reason is most important.
The world needs the knowledge being created at the research labs in real time, not in corporate time.
