  • Educational Entrepreneurship and Digital Strategies

    Open Access•Philippe Saner, Luca Tratschin•ARTICLE•Minerva•2026•References: 46

    Digitalization, a major transformation process, has affected universities worldwide. In this study, we investigate how Swiss universities address digitalization as a matter of strategic management and positioning and the constellations of actors, interests, and institutional arrangements that produce specific organizational responses. A qualitative case study design was employed to focus on the role of educational entrepreneurship within universi…

  • Competition for students in the digital era

    Open Access•Philippe Saner, Katja Rost•ARTICLE•Higher Education•2025

    Competition between universities has become more intense and multilevel in recent years. Whereas previous studies have mainly looked at multilevel competition in research, this paper investigates competition among universities in academic teaching related to digital transformation. We use a database of study programs on digitalization offered by Swiss universities between 2017 and 2023 to examine the levels at which competition for students occur…

  • A Tamed Transformation. Debating Digitalisation in Research and Higher Education Policy in Switzerland, 1998–2020

  • Envisioning Higher Education

    Open Access•Philippe Saner•ARTICLE•Swiss Journal of Sociology•2019

    Higher education is a site of contesting visions by actors in politics, science and the economy. This article investigates imaginations of the future articulated around the introduction of data science in Swiss higher education through a qualitative analysis of study programmes, policy documents, and business reports. Universities envision data sciences mainly in reference to economic and technological concepts, which contribute to the coordinati…
