In a modified form, this steering system still determines the financial position of Finnish universities even if they are nowadays formally private sector organizations and no longer state accounting offices. The period from 1993 to 2013 offers a higher education laboratory to analyze this institutional change. The long-lasting effects of deep institutional change can be empirically underlined through the analysis of HRM (Human Resource Management) in universities. One big reform of Finnish universities took place in 2009 through the new Universities Act, which gave full employer status to Finnish universities for the first time in their history. The effects of profound institutional change of the year 1993 are evaluated through the interviews of chief human resource managers in eight biggest universities in Finland. It seems that the move to the management by results system changed even the HRM of universities more than the later change of employer status. First, I pick up some introductory features of the state level management by results reform in Finland from 1993 on. Next, I review the reforms of the same period in the field of Finnish higher education. Then I introduce basic ideas of institutional change as my theoretical perspective. The final part of the article includes an analysis of the Finnish management by results reform in the field of higher education. 7 Kari KUOPPALA 1 Introduction: The Development of Finnish Higher Education System as a Part of the Development of Management by Results in the Finnish State Administration Discussion about reforming the Finnish public sector started in the middle of the 1980s. Despite the quick growth of the welfare state in Finland, the basic structures of administration had remained almost unchanged. During the 1980s, the Finnish welfare state met financial and bureaucratic problems (Salminen 2003). Other facts listed by Salminen affecting to the public sector “reform industry” were globalization, participation in European integration, and liberalization and deregulation of financial markets. In the next chapters, I give a brief review of the development of public sector reforms and of the connections of these reforms with the Finnish higher education system. According to Markku Temmes (1998), the Finnish solutions have followed the Nordic line in realizing NPM reform policy. Following the ideas of Salminen (op cit), the nature of Finnish reforms is possible to analyze more closely through main performance efforts in certain areas of public administration. Other indicators for the analysis of public sector reforms are market orientation and personnel policy and management. In general, performance connects to the three e: s of economy, efficiency, and effectiveness. The first performance area taken up by Salminen is quality strategies in the public sector. Performance efforts connected to this area are an enhancement of quality and customer orientation in the public services, of freedom of choice, of cost-consciousness, and of substitutive and supplementary ways for public service delivery. The second performance area is marketization processes, which includes a decrease of public personnel, privatization, an increase of competition and profit-making, new forms of public entrepreneurship, and new proliferation in public organizations. During the years 2003-2007,
