Managerialism in Higher Education: Pros, Cons, Alternatives

Summary/Abstract: One of the key objectives of higher education reforms in recent decades has been to achieve more effective institutions by reinforcing management. However, managerialism also resulted in dysfunctional functioning of the university. The basic question of the study is what alternatives to managerialism are discussed in countries where this movement has become the dominant approach to university management. The paper reviews the causes of the emergence of managerialism, its and criticisms, some resistance and reform strategies. It also provides an illustrates example of a university with a unique management approach, the University of Mondragon, which is based on cooperative principles. None of the reform proposals has a longing for the ivory tower, and no one challenges the importance of efficiency and effectiveness. However, they all believe that there are better ways than managerialism to better represent and better balance the interests of the community and stakeholders, while achieving efficiency. Each proposal highlights the need for democratization of decision-making processes which is a prerequisite for the university’s renewal.
