It also points to the current science and higher education policy documents that…

Neue Akteure und ihre Bedeutung für die Qualitätssicherung Abstract: Tenure track professorships have become commonplace at many German universities in recent years.

Abstract: Strategic projects in higher education are shaped not only by goals and priorities, but also by emotions, conflicts and resistance. Drawing on our consulting experience, this article demonstrates how unspoken tensions or conflicts can influence success or failure. Using case studies, we explore how structured formats can facilitate constructive approaches of dealing with fears…
Abstract: This article uses the Open Resources Campus NRW, a central platform for 36 public universities in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, as an example to discuss how teaching and research institutions can provide strategic direction, even when current circumstances suggest that an explicit strategy process is not yet likely to be successful. In…
Abstract: This article describes factors that lead to success or failure, and is based on 35 strategy projects in the scientific sector. Drawing on two decades of consulting experience, I demonstrate that clear leadership roles, negotiation skills and suitable participation formats are essential for achieving long-term results. I present three practical case studies with different…
Abstract: This article explores strategic development in universities, situated between ambition, institutional complexity, and limited governance capacity. It argues that the central but often implicit question – “What level of achievement is sufficient?”—touches pragmatic, political, and normative dimensions of goal-setting. Against this backdrop, the contribution reflects conceptually on universities as distinctive organizations where strategies emerge…

Abstract: Scientific institutions are struggling with a considerable modernisation backlog. In debates on this topic, the focus is mostly on material challenges such as a lack of funding, inadequate technical equipment and buildings in need of renovation. The necessary development of skills among scientific staff is less frequently discussed, but is nevertheless a topic of…
Abstract: University secretaries are the real science managers, says Antje Spliethoff-Laiser, who has been working in a university secretariat for over 20 years and, together with numerous colleagues, is promoting nationwide networking among employees. The activists are more concerned with improving the recognition and appreciation of the services provided, but also of the employees themselves.…
Abstract: With the example of pay scale classification of secretaries in German universities, this article analyses the persistence of a gender pay gap among employees of the technical and administrative university staff due to a systematic undervaluation of women’s work. Based on qualitative data, the study examines how, despite claims of objectivity, job evaluations in…
Abstract: University secretaries are a professional group that has received little attention in higher education research and policy to date, which is surprising given their large numbers and broad distribution across all organisational levels. This article examines the perspectives of university secretaries and addresses the tension between the position and status of secretarial work in…
