Changes in Academic Work and the Chair Regime: The Case of German Business Administration Academics
研究了德国工商管理学者在外部审计和评估压力下的工作变化，发现等级制度比市场力量更持久，传统教席体制可能抵制深层变革。
Today universities around the world are becoming subject to audits and evaluations that not only open them to outside scrutiny, but also force them to compete with each other for students, staff and funding. This development is supposed to lead to radical changes to academic work in business schools. Whereas there is an intensive debate about this issue in the UK, much less is known about changes in higher education in other European countries. This paper will show through the example of German business administration academics that similar pressures might not lead to similar outcomes. In the German system, hierarchy will remain more important than the market for academic work. Although role conflicts seem to increase for academics at all hierarchical levels, the traditional regime is likely to resist any far-reaching changes.
