Universities are important public institutions and are seen as key
drivers for a country's economic and intellectual development.
Their ability to deliver relevant research and education at the
highest level have an impact on growth and progress in society, and
governments attempt to control and govern the development of the
universities. It is no longer left to the individual researcher or
the institution to determine the role of the university.
Universities have traditionally had a special role in society with
a high degree of autonomy and independence. They have been
described as a self-governing Republic of Science and their
internal organization is characterized as "academic tribes".
However, universities can also be viewed as institutions with
somewhat similar characteristics as other public institutions with
highly professionalized staff. Governing the Reformed University is
a coherent volume based on a unique data set. The aim of the book
is to quantitatively and qualitatively understand and explain how
reforms and management instruments are implemented and how it
influences different levels of the organization from the top
management level to the employees within universities. It
contributes to the knowledge of reform and reform impact in higher
education. It also adds to our understanding of management and
governance at universities and through which mechanisms management
works at universities. This book builds on and adds to the
knowledge of studies of reform and governance at universities. The
data used in the book consists of a number of data sets and is
collected as part of a comprehensive research project. Academics
and policy makers alike in the fields of public administration,
public management, public policy, educational studies and
accountancy will find this of high interest.
