This book addresses the critical knowledge gaps of mergers
involving higher education institutions. It is based on a
comparative research project (spring 2013-spring 2015)
investigating the phenomena of mergers involving higher education
institutions across the Nordic countries - Norway, Sweden, Finland
and Denmark. The study involved close to 30 scholars from the
region, and aimed at shedding critical light on, and providing
novel contributions around, the following key aspects: Conceptual
and theoretical approaches - strengths and limitations - towards
the study of the phenomena of mergers in higher education;
Historical developments, leading to significant structural changes
in the domestic higher education landscape, and, in turn, how
mergers have been used as a policy/institutional mechanism to
foster adaptation to a new external environment at the local,
national, regional and international levels; The complex dynamics
inherent to merger processes by undertaking an in-depth
investigation of a series of selected case studies, with a
particular focus on the "black-box" associated with the
implementation process; The implications of the findings as regards
future policy and strategic endeavours, theory development and
future research agenda.
