Murroksesta tasapainoon : Itä-Suomen yliopiston syntyprosessi
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: This article analyses the merger between the Universities of Joensuu and Kuopio, which resulted in the University of Eastern Finland (UEF). The article aims to identify the sequence of events in the merger process. The merger process is analysed through critical junctures: significant events that lead the process toward a particular path. The merger process was part of the structural development of Finnish universities, which aimed to enhance the international competitive advantage of universities and to steer universities toward specialisation in areas of expertise. The article is based on process tracing of the UEF’s development during the years 2008 to 2010. Empirical material consisted of documents and interviews.
