AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE UNIVERSITY - JUTTA ...

During the last few years  the German higher education landscape has witnessed an increase in
the delegation of decision power from the state to the universities. In order to adapt to this
new situation  universities are more and more looking at management structures  decision-making
systems  and governance mechanisms as fundamental performance drivers. The objective of this
dissertation is to provide an economic insight into the inner workings of universities in
Germany  thus answering the question of how they should organize themselves in order to persist
in times of economic  organizational  and competitive challenges. Special focus lies on the
analysis of the role of faculty in participative university decision-making and its positive
and negative effects on the university. Based on theoretical and empirical analysis  the
dissertation outlines policy recommendations that may help to overcome the problems inherent in
todays university management and governance structures in Germany.
