Tim Turpin
University of Western Sydney, Australia
Tim Turpin is currently a professorial fellow at the Centre for Industry and Innovation Studies at the University of Western Sydney. His research has focused on issues associated with the local and global processes through which knowledge is produced, managed, and diffused. He has led a range of national and international research projects to investigate these issues that have been supported by the Australian government (including the Australian Research Council) and many international governments and development agencies. Much of this work has been concerned with organizational change taking place within universities, research institutes, and other social institutions involved in the production and application of knowledge, and the impact of global pressures on relationships among these institutions.
