Based on field research carried out over a two year period, this
book describes processes of transformation that took place over a
fifteen year period in five European universities. Five common
features identified - described as "organizational pathways of
transformation" - are highlighted and used to frame the case-study
accounts. These pathways consist of: a strengthened steering core;
an extended developmental periphery; a diversified funding base; a
stimulated academic heartland; and an entrepreneurial culture.
Taken together, these elements help universities overcome the
growing imbalance between environmental demands and university
capacity to respond that is now occurring in universities
internationally. As universities come under greater pressure to
change their traditional character and become more innovative and
entrepreneurial, the successful implementation of new managerial
perspectives is important if they are to succeed. Reconciling these
changes with traditional academic values provide the concepts on
which the case studies are based.
