  • Inter-University Networks: Rhetorics Vs
    Mae C. Fastner Inter-university Networks: Rhetorics vs. Reality Objectives and Activities of Members of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities Master’s Thesis Public Administration // Policy and Governance Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Hans Vossensteyn, Dr. Harry de Boer, Renze Kolster (M. Phil.) Candidate number: s1578634 March 14th, 2016 Abstract This qualitative study investigates higher education institutions’ engagement in inter-university networks. Inter-university networks are defined as formal, multilateral, multi-purpose and voluntary cooperative arrangements between higher education institutions from multiple countries which are coordinated by an additional administrative layer. This paper seeks to understand to what extent the activities universities perform within inter-university networks actually match their objectives towards these networks. Adopting a multiple-case study design including five European universities of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU), the study builds on the resource dependence theory which predicts that higher education institutions use inter-university networks strategically solely for the achievement of their objectives. The goal of the study is to test the resource dependence theory’s expectation that higher education institution’s objectives towards their inter-university network engagements and the activities which they perform within such networks are aligned with each other. The empirical evidence includes primary data collected mainly through semi-structured interviews. The thesis begins with setting out the research focus and design, followed by an introduction to the phenomenon of inter-university networks including a description of their characteristics and factors of success and failure. Subsequently, the theoretical framework based on the resource dependence theory is outlined and a theoretical expectation guiding the research is developed.
