The Governance Mix of Universities
During the past few decades, higher-education and research systems have been experiencing profound waves of reformed governance and organization resulting in a stronger emphasis on hierarchy, more well-defined boundaries between universities as organizational actors and their environments, more rigorous performance measurements at the organization level and a changed political control. Administration has been centralized and relations between aca…
Society on board? External board members and the embedding of Swedish higher education organizations in society, 1998-2016
Boards in higher education organizations (HEOs) play multiple roles. While they govern, boards are also expected to embed HEOs in society. Indeed, recent higher education reforms in Europe have emphasized the embedding role of HEO boards more than their governing role. But, although these reforms are widespread, we still know little about the ways in which boards are affected by ambitions of embedding HEOs. The aim of our paper is to explore how …
The Imitation and Translation of Management Ideas
The ‘Milky Way’ of intermediary organisations
This article focuses on transnational intermediary organizations in higher education and research.

Such intermediary organizations have in previous research been shown to play central roles in the development and circulation of new themes and ideas for how …
Reputational Risk as a Logic of Organizing in Late Modernity

First, we suggest that the risk management agenda has expanded from its roots in technical analysis to become a cornerstone of good governance and responsible actorhood. We illustrate this claim in the context of English universities. Second, we suggest that this expansion in the reach and significance of risk managem…

Our starting point is the conviction that organizational institutionalims is the conceptual and empirical venue to study ideology, both in its symbolic and material dimension and this volume represents an effort to refocus and revitalize these iss…
