Abstract

A most common and visible policy response to globalisation has been increasing the efficiency of the HE system by concentrating (merging) existing already established HEIs. This may involve various forms of associations of HEIs ranging from relatively weak associations, such as consortia, to fully fledged associations, such as pure mergers (Amaral, 2009, p. 13; Barber et al. 2013, p. 10; Estermann et al., 2013, p. 4, 12). Our focus in this chapter is on the latter, the mergers. There have been many mergers within national HE systems across many European Union (EU) member states (European Commission, 2014) to create newly consolidated HEIs capable of competing globally (Salmi, 2009, pp. 43–44) as well as reducing costs and enabling economies of scale (Pinheiro et al., 2015, p. 1).
