Culture and Fashion in Reform Implementation: Perceptions and Adaptation of Management Reforms in Higher Education.
Stensaker, Bjorn
Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, v20 n2 p129-38 Nov 1998
Examines how two government-initiated reforms, result-oriented planning and quality assessment, were perceived by 43 department heads and faculty at Norwegian colleges and universities. While result-oriented planning was perceived as an unnecessary reform, causing high tension and having only symbolic effects, quality assessment was seen as valid, with strong support in institutions, and incremental but concrete effects.
