By back-casting real-life decision-making processes, the author reconstructs how different types of actors influenced the academic governance of higher education institutions in the context of these reforms. This approach highlights how numerous changes in governance and organisation affect the relationships between actors and how they promote their interests.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Transformation of the University - Reality or Myth?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActor-Centered Institutionalism\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding the Archetype Template\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeeking Evidence of Archetype Change in Dutch Higher Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeeking Evidence of Archetype Change in English Higher Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Groups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearchers and students in the field of sociology with a focus on science studies, university research and organisational studies, political scientists\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManagers of higher education institutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElke Weyer works at the head office of the German Council of Science and Humanities, Cologne, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274419921047,"sku":"9783658197483","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783658197483.webp?v=1769279871","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/from-loose-to-tight-management-seeking-evidence-of-archetype-change-in-dutch-and-english-higher-education-9783658197483","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
