Dieses Buch erzählt John Sperlings persönliche Erfolgsstory - vom Matrosen der Handelsmarine zum Universitätsprofessor und danach zum Unternehmer. Sperling hatte die Idee, Erwachsenen eine zweite Chance für eine Hochschulausbildung zu geben und gründete deshalb im Alter von 52 Jahren die University of Phoenix. Sie entwickelte sich in nur knapp 25 Jahren zur größten Universität Amerikas. Hier erfahren Sie mehr über die einzigartigen Strategien, die die University of Phoenix so erfolgreich gemacht haben - als akademische Einrichtung und als börsennotiertes Unternehmen. Darüber hinaus wird auf der Grundlage selbstfinanzierter Universitäten auch der Schnittpunkt von Unternehmens- und Bildungspolitik näher beleuchtet.

"The University of Phoenix is the largest private university in the United States. It is fully accredited and traded on NASDAQ. Mere mention of its name produces anger, fear, and envy on the nation's college campuses. In the private sector, it has inspired scores of companies to enter the education market. This is the story of the entrepreneur who launched a revolution in higher education."-Arthur Levine, President, Teacher's College, Columbia University
