| Tiivistelmä: | This paper relates to the implementation process of the University Organisation Act of 1993 (Universitaetsorganisationsgesetz 1993) at an Austrian university. The law is aimed at transferring a greater scope of responsibility for strategic decisions and management issues from the ministry to the universities. The empirical basis is derived from a 2-year, in-depth field study showing that the transformation to a 'simple' management orientation is in itself complex. Therefore it is suggested a frame of reference that is based on an understanding of universities as complex and self-referential organizations. |
