from professional bureaucracy to competitive bureaucracy redefining universities Organization principles performance measurement criteria and reason for being
Qualitative Research in Accounting & Management, 2020Co-Authors: Tomi J Kallio, Kirsimari Kallio, Annika BlombergAbstract:This purpose of this study is to understand how the spread of audit culture and the related public sector reforms have affected Finnish universities’ Organization principles, performance measurement (PM) criteria and ultimately their reason for being.,Applying extensive qualitative data by combining interview data with document materials, this study takes a longitudinal perspective toward the changing Finnish higher education field.,The analysis suggests the reforms have altered universities’ administrative structures, planning and control systems, coordination mechanisms and the role of staff units, as well as the allocation of power and thus challenged their reason for being. Power has become concentrated into the hands of formal managers, while operational core professionals have been distanced from decision making. Efficiency in terms of financial and performance indicators has become a coordinating principle of University Organizations, and PM practices are used to steer the work of professionals. Because of the reforms, universities have moved away from the ideal type of professional bureaucracy and begun resembling the new, emerging ideal type of competitive bureaucracy.,This study builds on rich, real-life, longitudinal empirical material and details a chronological description of the changes in Finland’s University sector. Moreover, it illustrates how the spread of audit culture and the related legislative changes have transformed the ideal type of University Organization and challenged universities’ reason for being. These changes entail significant consequences regarding universities as Organizations and their role in society.

The public choice of University Organization: a stylized story of a constitutional reform
Constitutional Political Economy, 2015Co-Authors: Martin PaldamAbstract:The essay presents and explains a highly stylized story of the reactions of the structure of a University to a constitutional reform—in the University law—that radically changed the power structure from a bottom-up representative system to a top-down hierarchical system practically without checks and balances. It was meant as a more business-like system to increasing effectiveness. However, the result has been precisely the reverse. Both the (relative) size and the salaries of the bureaucracy have increased, while its effectiveness has fallen. The bureaucracy has grown particularly fast in the special service bureaus outside the normal structure and in the PR-department. It is shown that these outcomes correspond to the predictions of public choice theory, notably that of Niskanen’s theory of bureaucracy.

The public choice of University Organization
2014Co-Authors: Martin PaldamAbstract:The essay presents and explains a highly stylized story of the reactions of the structure of a University to a constitutional reform - in the University law - that radically changed the power structure from a bottom-up representative system to a top-down hierarchical system practically without checks and balances. It was meant as a more business-like system to increasing effective- ness. However, the result has been precisely the reverse. Both the (relative) size and the salaries of the bureaucracy have increased, while its effectiveness has fallen.
