Stakeholder Regimes in Higher Education

Beschreibung

How does Norwegian national higher education policy affect stakeholder influence in practice? Two selected higher education institutions, the University of Oslo and Telemark University College, are scrutinized here with regard to how they have interpreted and adapted to national policy reforms. Both institutions have undergone an evolvement of stakeholder influence in three phases where the two first phases paved the way for the ultimately dominant characteristics of the entrepreneurial regime. However, the analysis shows that the initial institutional legacies of the University of Oslo and Telemark University College differed. The book is relevant to scholars and students of public policy and administration as well as higher education.
How does Norwegian national higher education policy affect stakeholder influence in practice? Two selected higher education institutions, the University of Oslo and Telemark University College, are scrutinized here with regard to how they have interpreted and adapted to national policy reforms. Both institutions have undergone an evolvement of stakeholder influence in three phases where the two first phases paved the way for the ultimately dominant characteristics of the entrepreneurial regime. However, my analysis shows that the initial institutional legacies of the University of Oslo and Telemark University College differed. The University of Oslo had an established institutional legacy with professorial dominance – only to be challenged by other internal stakeholder groups in the 1970’s. In contrast, Telemark University College invited external cooperation already from the start and therefore differs from the University of Oslo. The book is relevant to scholars and students of public policy and administration as well as higher education.

Stimmen zu »Stakeholder Regimes in Higher Education«

Mit norwegischen Universitäten befasst sich in Deutschland niemand. Das ist schade, denn wer Bjørkquists Arbeit, eine 2009 an der schwedischen Karlstad Universität verfasste Dissertation, liest, bedauert dies. Gegenwärtig werden in der deutschen Hochschulforschung vorwiegend Themen beforscht, die sich um inländische Problemstellungen drehen. Der Blick nach Norwegen zeigt, wie ähnlich die Herausforderungen und Veränderungen sind, denen sich die Hochschulen gegenwärtig stellen müssen. [...] Das Buch sei allen empfohlen, die gerne einen Blick auf die höheren Bildungseinrichtungen anderer Länder werfen. Darüber hinaus ist das Buch eine spannende Lektüre für all diejenigen, die gründlich recherchierte und plausibel argumentierende Fallstudien zu schätzen wissen. – Nadja Bieletzki in: Zeitschrift für Erziehungwissenschaft, 15. 2012.
